Very informative. Sarah was friendly & engaging. Wear comfortable footwear and sunscreen. Bring water.
Sarah was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide. Having the ear pieces made it so much easier to hear everything she said. Couldn't do anything about the heat, but the balance between walking, sitting in the A/C on the street cars, and touring air conditioned buildings kept it from being overwhelming. Directions for finding the tour start area need updating. Maps 240 Centennial, then drive all the way past the Truckyard restaurant and park. Sarah will meet you at the bridge by the edge of the parking lot.
Excellent tour, with a very knowledgeable tour guide.We saw and learned about things we would not have on our own. Our tour guide Sarah was fun and accommodating.
We had a great tour guide, super informative and an OKC native. We learned so much and enjoyed our time learning about the city's history. It was also game 1 of the division finals and the team pride was infectious!
Thank you for visiting OKC and touring with us. I had a great with you too. Thunder up!

It was such a pleasure to show you around OKC. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Our guide, Sarah, was outstanding!! Very knowledgeable and professional. She had a deep family history in Oklahoma and a passion and skill for story telling. I highly recommend her and the tour!!
Thank you.
Sara was very knowledgeable about Oklahoma and history in general. We were able to have good conversation and connections about the events. She was even kid friendly.
Kid-friendly is such a huge compliment. History, beauty and architecture are usually appreciated later in life. It's awesome you are exposing your children now ... with the promise of the waterpark after the tour!! Well done you.
The experience was AWESOME!! The guide knew her entire city and was so passionate about OKC! The stories were incredible, history of the city was extensive and I loved to hear everything from a locals perspective. We loved it!!!
Thank you Lindsey, I loved having you on tour!
We loved this walking tour with Sarah our guide. A nice small group of 7 of us in total. It was a very laid back but informative walk around OKC mixed with a couple of streetcar journeys all included. Parking at the meeting point was very easy too. We'd thoroughly recommend this tour to gain a snapshot of the history of OKC.
It was my pleasure to spend some time with you and share our wonderful city. I hope you get to come back sometime.
