Meet Tulsa’s Best Tour Guides

Jeffrey • founder

Born in Manhattan (not Kansas), Jeffrey moved to Tulsa from Brooklyn after an epic cross-country bike ride. The travel memoir West of Wheeling documents his journey and decision to settle here.

Tours were a side gig, but when he lost his full-time job in the pandemic, Jeffrey pivoted to building the city’s fastest-growing tour company. He opened a storefront with vintage Tulsa memorabilia in the Philcade Building that also hosts the Oil Capital Pop-Up Museum that he designed and curates.

Jeffrey got his start on double-decker buses in NYC. He also worked as a corporate event planner in Times Square where he customized city itineraries, themed incentive trips, and galas at landmarks like Statue of Liberty and Top of the Rock.

Constant stress led him to escape New York by bicycle. Now living on Tulsa Time, Jeffrey enjoys showing visitors his adopted hometown on foot and now by car.

Becki • tunnels, deco

A native Tulsan with a knack for storytelling, Becki’s tours are sprinkled with laughter, facts and fun.

Becki makes guests feel like old friends thanks to her hospitality career at restaurant groups and leading the Tulsa Press Club. As a result, she’s mastered the art of memorable experiences served with a side of heartfelt Tulsa charm.

Her talents extend beyond sharing Tulsa’s past. Becki is a steadfast supporter of the city’s future, especially nurturing the aspirations of female entrepreneurs. As a pivotal force in business development and on the Infinite HERizons board, she encourages and supports women pursuing their dreams.

Becki also indulges in creative passions like capturing the city’s architectural beauty through her lens and spinning pottery on her wheel. She embraces life with a light-hearted spirit and belief that every day is an opportunity for a new adventure.

Chrissy • tunnels

One of Tulsa’s biggest cheerleaders, Chrissy is such a fan of the local pro hockey team that she plays “foster mom” to Tulsa Oilers skating far from home.

Raised in a small town in Kansas, Chrissy moved here in the late 90s and fell in love with Tulsa. If you prod her, she can dish out jokes as a standup comedian on stages across seven states. Just don’t prod too hard — she’s also a competitive axe thrower.

When not rooting hard for the Oilers or leading tunnel tours, Chrissy enjoys spending time with family, especially granddaughters Olive and Ocie.

Michael • tunnels

Best known for forecasting Oklahoma’s mercurial weather on TV, Michael the meteorologist is also a history buff. The Tulsa native graduated from Union High School, attended Valparaiso University in Indiana, and worked on-air in Maryland before boomeranging home.

Michael’s a longtime volunteer with the Disaster Resilience Network, and set designers for the Hollywood movie Twisters consulted him for his tornado expertise.

When not tracking storms in the sky or guiding tours underground, he enjoys indoor rock climbing, gardening and exploring the food scene. Favorites include drinks at a local brewery and dinner at Kilkenny’s Irish Pub.

Amy • tunnels

In her third year with our company, Amy has been leading tours in Tulsa for 10 years.

Raised in both Coweta, Oklahoma, and Albuquerque, New Mexico, she’s also lived in Arizona and Dallas before moving back to T-Town in 2005. During the day Amy shuttles her kids to school and multiple sporting activities. Her perfect night out would include dinner at Lowood, Bohemian Pizza, or her favorite, La Tertulia for Santa Fe cuisine. A glass at Vintage wine bar would also be in order.

On weekends with her family, she relaxes at the Gathering Place and shops at Tulsa Farmers’ Market in Kendall Whittier. She also enjoys catching a concert at Cain’s, a jazz performance at Duet, or a minor league baseball game. Goooo Drillers!
