Customer Feedback

This was our first time using Buffalo Tours, and we are very impressed with the service we received.  Everything was well organised, yet flexible enough to cater to our needs.  All the tour guides and drivers were first class.  We have been to many cities in Europe, Japan and Asia, but have never encountered such impeccable, hospitable and thoughtful tour staff.
