Bedore Tours, Inc. is a tour and charter coach carrier based in North Tonawanda, NY, near Niagara Falls.

History
Bedore Tours' roots go back to 1950, when Gordon Bedore began offering sightseeing tours of Niagara Falls.
Gordon's limousines would leave from the parking lot of Howard Johnson's restaurant (by the way, it's still there as a hotel), and he would personally guide his guests. Often, these guests would be people staying at local campgrounds who wanted a convenient way to experience the Falls.
After years of steady growth, the company was acquired in 1988 by John O'Hear. Today, Bedore Tours has a fleet of over 20 vehicles, from VIP vans, 24 passenger executive shuttle buses, 29 & 32 passenger deluxe mid-size coaches, and 56 passenger 2007-2009 MCI motorcoaches, available for transfers and touring. Bedore Tours' services go far and wide—they take groups on tours of wine country, visit Washington, D.C., carry sports teams through their seasons and much more.[2]
