Take this tour! - It was such an incredible tour! I worked in the Kennedy building back in the 70’s, and the things we saw brought back many memories. Jeffrey is a great tour guide and certainly knew his stuff. There were so many things I learned about Tulsa’s history, even having lived here for 50 years.

Two thumbs up for this tour! - Our tour guide, Derick, was a wealth of information about the history of Tulsa. He was open to questions, and the walking pace and length of the tour was perfect. Being from the East Coast, I never knew about Tulsa's role in the development of the oil industry and how the city became a center for banking.

Good Downtown Tulsa history tour - Our tour guide, Derek, was very knowledgeable and had great energy. The tour was very informative, but I wish there was more information given about the various tunnels. I understand the other tunnels were sealed off for safety, but information about where they were and who used them would have made our rating higher.
