Niagara Falls E-Bike Tour Beyond the Falls Hidden History Stories
Description
Join our Niagara Falls e-bike adventure and uncover the sometimes grim but always fascinating hidden history of the Falls. Explore the untold stories that shaped Niagara as you see this natural wonder in a whole new light. This guided ride reveals the many faces of Niagara—from the thunderous Horseshoe Falls and serene Goat Island to the whispers of the Underground Railroad and the colorful murals tucked away downtown. Along the way, you’ll glimpse early power plants and hear tales of ambition, innovation, and loss. Departing from the Aquarium of Niagara, you’ll follow safe, off-road paths with 5–10 minute storytelling stops at Whirlpool State Park, Schoellkopf Power Plant, Cave of the Winds, and more. Finish the journey with mist on your face, wind in your hair, and a deeper understanding of Niagara’s untold past.

I actually ended up switching to do bike ride in downtown Buffalo. I was the only person that had signed up for my particular ride in Niagara Falls. The owner was wonderful and let me know 2 days in advance and gave me options from full refund to other possible rides. I highly recommend this tour company. It was informative, educational, fun and delightful. Bike tours are a great way to see a city and get some exercise and information.
Great local business within WNY community. Very responsive and flexible to meet my request for 1 bike on a quick trip home to see my family. I got in a 20 mile ride and explored some new roads between Buffalo and Erie Canal trail.
Glad we could help on your Erie Canal bike trip!
Buffalo Bike Tours offers an excellent tour of Niagara Falls, and there's plenty to see beyond the falls itself! The city has a rich history lying in plain sight, waiting to be discovered. This all-inclusive experience will inspire and educate locals and travelers alike. The route is appropriate for all skill levels of cycling, the eBikes are quick to learn, and Marc and his team are entertaining and knowledgeable. Come see the Falls like you've never seen them before!

I rode with 8 other people on new bikes. Rhe bike worked perfectly. The guide was knowledgeable and I learned all new things. Went to locations I never have been to before in my own home town. Pace was perfect. I absolutely loved the ride. This was my third time with this company and would go again.
Wonderful to hear, we love sharing the hidden histories that make up this place. Catch you again
