Discover an Omaha rich in fascinating, unique, and often forgotten history that many locals don't even know about. Sample the best of a city that visitors typically know little to nothing about. Guide the tour towards subjects that interest you most as I am extremely flexible and more than happy to customize the tour.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle

Adam was a great tour guide for first-time visitors to Omaha. We started by walking around downtown and then he drove us around the outskirts. We appreciated that he was always willing to respond to our interests (as opposed to sticking to a set agenda).
