Great tour of the unique origins of OKC
Great tour! Very informative about the early history of OKC - walked thru some of the historic early areas and an emotional visit to the OKC National Memorial site of the Murrah Bombing. Unique history and Americana that I did not previously know! The guide was knowledgeable and engaging … and could answer many questions we had as well!

Would recommend
My friends and I found this tour interesting. Learned many things on the history and architecture of OKC. Our tour guide Ryan was so knowledgeable and nice, and tried to keep us in the shade or inside one of the historical hotels on a very hot day as much as possible lol.
