Great tour - This was an excellent tour - Jeff knows the stories and background, and was also very entertaining! We visited the “center of the universe” in Tulsa afterwards that Jeff told us about, and it was very neat.

Worth it! - Great historical tour of downtown. The tunnels were not what we thought but we enjoyed hearing the history and seeing the architecture of the buildings. Jeff was great and very knowledgable!

A step back in Tulsa history - This was a great history lesson and a chance to learn about some beautiful buildings that, though I’ve lived in Tulsa for nearly 30 years, I’d never seen. Great guide. I’ve already recommended to friends.

Excellent tour, very interesting. - Fascinating history lesson and tour of the early years of Tulsa. Jeffrey was great and has a lot of passion for his adoptive city. Highly recommend.

Great Tour! - Jeffrey, the founder/owner, deftly led a group of 8 people on an easily navigable walking tour through the central downtown tunnel system of his adopted hometown. The tunnel tour was an interesting way to spend 1-2 hours for a first time Tulsa visitor or anyone curious about history and architecture. Jeffrey’s personal story is unique and he is passionate about sharing information, well organized and funny. Tulsa Tours leads several kinds of tours in the city and is soon expanding to Oklahoma City.
Like Tulsa’s oil boom of the early 20th century, Tulsa appears again a city on the rise.

Save your money - I would rate this less then 1. Started late ran really over. Ended far from the lobby where you meet to start the tour with no direction back. Poorly organized. The guide was not engaging and more interested in talking about herself then the history. We regret going and are very disappointed. There was more information on the walls of the tunnels that are open to the public for free. Save your money
