It was incredible and so educational. Fascinating. Who knew that OKC has such an intense history. I will be be doing research because I was inspired. I LOVED our guide Ryan…super friendly, very patient, informative and professional. Even though we were all different, we all felt like we were heard and every question was answered and more. Very great experience worth every penny. Highly recommend..

An informative walk through Oklahoma City’s history. Ryan was incredibly knowledgeable and shared each story with great enthusiasm, from the Skirvin Hotel’s past to the development of the tunnels, the First National, and countless fun facts. Even having grown up in OKC and taken Oklahoma History, I still learned so much about the city’s unique evolution.
Thrilled to hear that Ryan led such a memorable tour underground. Thanks for taking time to review your great experience.
Knowledgeable tour guide. The underground walk led us to a historic building through walls of art and neon lights.
The Underground is a great way to beat the heat and see the city from a different perspective. Thanks for joining us!
