Staycation tourists
Fun and interesting things to see and learn in OKC and we’ve lived here many years. Tour leader worked with us on a date change due to rain. Great way to see the historical and new sites in downtown OKC.

A Leisurely, Enlightening Ride
Our tour guide (Aaron) was very friendly and we biked at an enjoyable and leisurely pace. I always felt safe while biking (even though I don't have much experience biking on urban streets) and had plenty of time and space to view the sights around me throughout the ride. Every stop along the way was meaningful, and Aaron did a great job sharing his wealth of knowledge about the history of OKC. This was a great way to spend a morning and a fantastic way to truly experience the city. Book this tour if you get the chance!

Must-do if the weather's nice
It was wonderful. We hit bricktown, the ball park, the land run monument, the canal, the tunnel into bricktown, midtown, and the capitol. Ryan gave us a lot of history that I had no idea about. And a real surprise was that he designed the Colonial Downs Racetrack in Richmond, VA, which is where I now live.

Great tour of downtown OKC!
I recently took this bike tour with a group of friends in town for an urban planning school reunion. It was the perfect activity for a group that was interested in historical, architecture, and urban design tidbits about the city. The tour took us through some of the most iconic landmarks, including the Memorial, Myriad Botanical Gardens, and Bricktown. The owner, Ryan, was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions on a number of topics. The pace of the tour was perfect, allowing us to soak in the sights without feeling rushed. The bikes provided were in good condition, making the ride comfortable and enjoyable. An added bonus of taking the tour on a weekend is that there is very little traffic in downtown, making it stress free even for those of us that don't spend much time on bikes. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Oklahoma City. It’s a unique and active way to experience the heart of the city.

Disappointed
Maybe I missed the information while registering but you cancelled us twice due to your minimum group size requirement. We never got a tour.
