Great tour! - Jeffrey was a knowledgeable tour guide. He explained the history of Tulsa along with showing us the local architecture. Both our 10 year old son and our 20 year old nephew had fun. Jeffrey also offered some nice suggestions for other things for us to do while in Tulsa.

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.
