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.

Fabulous Art Deco tour - Jeffrey was an excellent guide. He had great knowledge about the buildings and different segments of the art deco movement. Kept us in the shade as well.

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.

A Tulsa must! - If you're coming to Tulsa (or live here) this is a must! Enjoyed the Art Deco tour with Jeffrey on a Saturday morning. He was knowledgable, entertaining, and we learned so much. We even got to go inside some locked buildings to see otherwise off-limits interior design. Even though it was a hot summer morning, Jeffrey kept us cool by strategically making stops in the shade and indoor stops, too. There were also places to sit and even a bathroom break. Thanks for a memorable tour!

Superb! - This was a wonderful tour. Jeffrey was knowledgeable and personable. He was full of interesting information. You will view some great architecture and learn how to identify different types of art-deco and how it's different from other styles. Truly a great experience whether you are visiting Tulsa or consider yourself a local. I highly recommend this tour.

Great way to learn about Tulsa while seeing beautiful architecture - Jeffrey was fun, knowledgeable and eager to answer all questions. We learned about history as well as architecture. Highly recommend......the only down side is that the area we covered was pretty small. Thought Tulsa would have offered more but we added the Methodist Church on our own and it was very worthwhile.
