Lifestyles of Buffalo's Rich and Famous Tour
Buffalo's Downton Abbey Tour
Go behind the scenes on an exclusive new tour exploring the captivating people and opulent spaces of Buffalo's glittering Gilded Age.
Behind the scenes at the Richardson Hotel
Our journey begins at the magnificent Richardson Hotel—Buffalo’s former sprawling Psychiatric Asylum. We tour the beautifully renovated portions of the hotel, including a sneak peek at some of its premier suites.
From there, we’ve secured exclusive, special access to the unfinished sections of the asylum. Frozen in time, these restricted areas offer a hauntingly authentic glimpse into what daily life was truly like for the patients. (Hard hats will be provided!)
Millionaire's Mile & Delaware Avenue
Next, we’ll hop aboard our double-decker bus to cruise down "Millionaire's Mile." As we pass through this ultra-exclusive neighborhood along Delaware Avenue, you'll hear fascinating stories of the scandals, triumphs, and daily lives of Buffalo's historic upper crust.
Life in the Wilcox Mansion (TR Inaugural Site)
We’ll step off the bus once more at the historic Wilcox Mansion, famously known as the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site. Here, you’ll get an intimate look at the lavish lifestyle of a true Buffalo "Blue Blood."
The luxury and storytelling continue with more tales of opulent lifestyles on our return trip to the Richardson Hotel
