About

It can be done on the Niagara-Buffalo side as well. Tours are conducted by a person whose ancestors were slaves in the U.S. but came to Canada in 1850. This tour provides information that is authentic and thought provoking. It is described as outdoor museum showing some lovely sites in Niagara region. Sites shown are the Niagara Movement meeting, crossing point of Josiah Henson (Uncle Tom), cemetery where former slaves are buried, church of Freedom Seekers and Harriet Tubman, grave of Anthony Burns and much more. This tour is available for 2 or more people. Can also arrange other tours as well.

The Niagara Bound Tour was a definite highlight of my area stay. Lezlie’s expertise as a Freedom Seeker descendant shone through in her Black History narration. Her personal relationship with each tour member was much appreciated! This is a not to be missed part of a Niagara visit!

On a cold and rainy November day, Lezlie kept us spellbound for more than three hours. Not only is she an excellent source of factual information but her insights into subtleties of interpretation are truly engaging. We highly recommend her.

Took our tour with the amazing Lezlie. She is a gem, Since her family are rooted freedom seekers in the area she gave us a very personal and authentic experience. We spent several hours fascinated by the her family stories and the black history she shared. She made you feel like her family (even before the tour). Highly recommend and would go on ANY tour Lezlie has to offer!

We took the Canadian Black History tour with Lezlie Harper from Niagara Bound Tours. The visual highlight of Niagara Ont. are the Falls.
This tour is both visual and mentally simulating, Lezlie shared with us a honeypot of history and knowledge . She was so very personable it was like hanging out with an old friend or family member who knew the lay of the land. Never a boring minute.

This was a great tour to learn some authentic as well as personalized Black and Canadian History from an excellent tour guide, Lezlie. Since we did not have a vehicle and are not early risers, It was convenient to have her pick us up promptly at 10am from our hotel for our private tour. She also gave us recommendations about other attractions and restaurants that we greatly appreciated.
Although Lezlie made the atmosphere laid back and comfortable, the information was so intensely presented by her. We stopped at about 6 sites and drove through a scenic part of Niagara Falls, but it was her real, in-depth, honest stories and experiences that made this tour perfect to learn about the past black lives of those who never gave up despite the hardships and challenges society placed on them. It is definitely a must do for history-lovers or anyone who wants to be inspired.

Strolling upon someone as dedicated as Lezlie was a rare occurrence. Lezlie dwelled into historic monuments, as well as the oblivious details of Black history. To us, she wasn’t just our tour guide — she was an admirable, inspirational figure. Lezlie did not simply represent the exploited, tourist attractions; she opened the doors to a new world. She took us to Fort Erie, Niagara river, Lake Erie, Little Africa, and the Cemetery — not to be remembered as a graveyard, but a location indicating the efforts put in over time. To her, it wasn’t just historic sites, but a significant memory of her ancestors who paved the way, ensuring broad opportunities for the future.

Bound with its important role, Canada is a successful diverse country home to millions of people. But as we all know, everything that has come to be always was a past, and this nation does too. Canada's past with its dark tales with past unfair systems also has a heroic line. This heroic line we learned about when we were young but only now fully comprehends all thanks to Lezlie Harper. As a student in middle school, some things such as history come hard to understand and withstand without our own personal connections. However, when Lezlie taught us about Canada’s history we were all intertwined with the rich history, better understanding our nation's heroic actions she was very kind and knowledgeable also giving us life lessons to carry on with us. Coming from a young student, the experience was incredible, fit for practically anyone to enjoy. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Our trip to Niagara with Niagara Bound Tours was amazing! Our tour guide, Lezlie was excellent. My class, alongside another class, went on a tour with Lezlie for a class field trip. She is very funny, professional, knowledgeable, and confident. When you leave the tour, she will guarantee you learn something. On our tour with Lezlie, we went to Fort Erie, Niagara River, Lake Erie, Little Africa, and Cemetery to learn more about her family history and culture. If you are looking for a fun and knowledgeable tour around the Niagara area, then be sure to go with Niagara Bound Tours and you won't regret it!

Our group of 12 took Lezlie's tour today - from Harriet Tubman's church to the black cemetery in Fort Erie. It was outstanding! I'm a history buff but she told us things of which I was completely unaware! John Brown recruited ex-slaves in Niagara for the raid on Harper's Ferry! Confederate generals had houses in Niagara On The Lake? John Wilkes Booth travelled through the area while plotting the assassination of President Lincoln......

My sister and I had the opportunity to spend our May long weekend sunday with Lezlie as she gave us a history lesson NOT TOLD in Canadian school system.
It is absolutely imperative we acknowledge the history and stories shared by the freedom seeker descendants THEMSELVES. I want to thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us and I had a few "aha moments" during our visit on the untold black history within the Niagara Region. Lezlie you have given me a lot to think about and i really look forward to reading your book as there is clearly a lack of literature that acknowledges the accomplishments of those that came before us in this region! We need to hear these stories!
