Must do in downtown Tulsa. - Great tour of the art deco history of downtown Tulsa. Highly recommended if you are in Tulsa and want to learn about the oil boom architecture. Stayed at the Tulsa Club hotel (Hilton) which was right by the tour route and starting place.

A must-do in Tulsa, Oklahoma. - This tour is the highlight of my 3-day Tulsa trip. Our guide Jeffery is a friendly and knowledgeable (and handsome) guy. He not only shows us the beautiful architecture around the downtown area but tells the history of the city. If you are planning to visit Tulsa, this is a must and you won't regret it.

Fun & informative Tulsa Tunnel Tour! - I was born and raised in Tulsa and have never done any downtown tours. I heard good things about Tulsa Tours and booked the Tunnel Tour in June for our family. My first communication with Jeff was pleasant, professional and very informative. He connected us with Tour Guide Michael. Michael was fantastic! He knew so much history, culture and detail about the city I grew up in. We all learned a lot, had fun and will go back for the Architecture Tour next! I highly recommend Tulsa Tours wether you’re here visiting or have lived here all your life!

Exceptional! - Over the past couple of years I’ve had the the opportunity to visit Tulsa on several occasions. I’ve learned a little bit more about the city each time but felt like I was missing out on the big picture. Tulsa is so rich in history and culture. Jeffrey pulled it ALL together for me with his extensive knowledge of history, culture, industry, arts & architecture. Jeffrey is an amazing listener. And he brings his information full circle. No details are overlooked. The tour makes Tulsa even more interesting and vibrant! Can’t wait to visit the city again! PS - he knows where all the good shady spots are!
