5.00My 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.

5.00Ryan was an excellent guide. It was his first OKC tour, but no one would believe it. Ryan was very informative and knowledgeable in OKC history, downtown architectural buildings, and social activities throughout the city. The two hour walking tour was very manageable. I highly recommend this tour for the sites and value. It was a great way to be introduced to OKC!
