Tulsa Tours
Lace up your sneakers and see the best of downtown on a guided tour with local pros. Tulsa Tours offers a variety of weekly public and private walking tours to fit your interests and budget. Walk around downtown Tulsa or load up in an SUV to explore beyond the city center.
Visit the tour office in the Philcade, an Art Deco landmark built by oil man Waite Phillips in the heart of downtown. The storefront features a collection of vintage Tulsa postcards and pennants dating from when Tulsa reigned as Oil Capital of the World. Inside the Philcade, guests can also browse the Oil Capital Pop-Up Museum, a free, self-guided exhibit about Tulsa's early oil history.
Architecture & Art Deco is the most popular tour among visitors. Learn why Tulsa has such fantastic architecture and unlock the meaning behind ornamental details in these storied buildings. Styles featured on this tour include Neo-Gothic, Art Deco and Modernism. Tulsa Tours has gained exclusive access to perhaps the city's most dazzling Deco lobby that is otherwise closed to the public.
For locals, the Tunnel Tour is a best-seller. The "tunnels" are interior corridors between and below historic office buildings. Guides discuss the history of these buildings and the stories of the oil men who built them as visitors flow through these passageways without stepping outside until near the end.
In partnership with the Black Wall Street Chamber of Commerce, Tulsa Tours offers weekly walks of historic Greenwood that include passes to the Greenwood Rising museum.
Complete your visit with a stay in their licensed Airbnb apartment in the Deco District that is decorated with vintage Tulsa memorabilia.
