Excellent tour - Tour guide was so nice and extremely knowledgeable about the area. You’ll see some really cool buildings & architecture. A lot of cool historic stories too about the rich oil men of Tulsa. Better than I expected. Great way to spend a couple hours! Wes

Walking historic architecture tour - Tulsa Tours , our tour guide Jeffrey - found and opened the business, he was very informative, fun , made the tour interesting , described the different architecture designs and period times . It was a walking tour downtown . He did not rush the group through , stopped at various places to see and talk about several buildings . He gave the group magnet and local homemade ice cream coupon across from the beautiful lobby where tour begins and ends. Highly recommend . The lobby is worth the tour itself . Great 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!
