Great Art Deco Tour - This was a wonderful tour! Our guide, Jeffery, was very entertaining and informative. He told us lots of interesting stories about Tulsa and gave a great explanation of the history of Art Deco. My sister and I highly recommend this tour.

Took art deco tour in downtown Tulsa - Jeffrey was an incredible guide! We took the art deco tour in downtown Tulsa and learned so much - not just about Art Deci but about the history of Tulsa, the buildings of Tulsa and all of their architectural styles and the periods in which they were built. He had access to buildings not available to the public and he was extremely knowledgeable, personable , and relevant! Jeffrey is truly a professional guide- he even gave us suggestions for restaurants and other places to see in Tulsa and made everyone on the group welcome! A+. Tour!

Art Deco and Tulsa in the same sentence. Who knew? - Our tour guide, Jeffery (also Tulsa Tours' owner), was knowledgeable, personable and passionate about this subject. We learned about the evolution of the Art Deco style and saw beautiful examples of what oil money could build/buy. I heartily recommend this walking tour.

An Excellent glimpse into historic downtown Tulsa - The Tulsa Art Deco and Architecture tour was visually stunning and informative. The history and grandeur of downtown Tulsa was brought to life by our tour guide Jeffrey. It was a very hot day well into the 90's but he kept us in the shade or in air conditioned buildings and that helped a lot with the heat. There is walking but no forced marches or strenuous activity. No mater if you are a local or out of town visitor, you will learn and see a lot of historic downtown Tulsa.
