A great way to learn about the city
The 6 of us all had a very good experience with the Tuk Tuk tour. Our driver, Bobby, did a great job showing us around the town and pointing out many interesting areas. I would recommend this tour while visiting Richmond.

SO MUCH FUN!
We had a fantastic time on our Richmond Tuk Tuk tour! Our driver, Anne, was the best! We did a combination historic and custom tour and “Captain Anne” was extremely accommodating and informative! I highly recommend this experience for long time Richmond residents and for out of towners too!

10/10 Wonderful experience. Beautiful city.
Our tour guide was absolutely lovely, very kind and very educated about the area. We were taking a tour of Richmond as we are considering moving to the area, and she was more than willing and excited to cater the tour to our interests.
We also toured many historical landmarks, Hollywood cemetery, important monuments, art and murals around town. We were able to control the music and were kept warm with blankets and heated seats. Wonderful experience, highly recommend. I wish I could remember her name, but she had wonderful rainbow glasses and matching scarf!

Grann on the Run
We had a combination of grqndparents, parents and grandchilden ages ranging from 2 to 13. The weather was perfect for a night tour of the Christmas lights on Monument, the Fan, the Museum District and Oregon Hill.
Our driver was patient with some of the more boisterous passengers. We were very comfortable and cozy on the ride with cold temps.
A unique experience that was tons of fun.

Fun and learned a lot!
Our guide Martha was great and we all enjoyed the tour which covered the highlights of the history of Richmond. She knowledgeably answered all our questions and was fun and professional at the same time. It was really a very good experience!

Great time seeing the Halloween lights around Richmond with RVA TukTuk! The tour takes you around the city and allows you to get out to see the lights! Great views of the city! 10/10 would recommend!

Wedding Send-Off
We hired RVATukTuk for our wedding as our exit vehicle. They decked out the TukTuk in wedding decor and it was a really unique way to end our evening. Our driver took us around the Fan so we could make a grand entrance to our after party in Scott’s Addition. It was super easy working with Lyndsi who accommodated our special requests. Way more fun than a town car! Highly recommend.

FANTASTIC fun for fam of all ages!
LOVED our Tuk Tuk tour! We were all fam, in town for a wedding, and had my 80-year-old step mom and 4-year-old grandniece, and all ages in between. The tour was awesome as it was something we could ALL do together. Very historical, we covered a ton of ground, and our two tour drivers were awesome. Insider’s tip: we were staying in an Airbnb near Carytown, and paid the extra $40 for the custom pickup/drop off and was well worth it. Returning, we had them drop us off in Carytown, where we had lunch, then leisurely walked back to our Airbnb. Highly recommend.

Fun for All
This is such an awesome activity to do with friends, family, or a group. I planned this as outing activity for the kids in my church and some parents. We did the Family friendly scavenger hunt. It was so much fun. We did it like a competition and the everyone enjoyed themselves. The RVA TukTuk staff were so accommodating since I had a large group of 22 people. I had a lot of questions and they took care in answering them. They agreed to drop us off where we wanted and the pick up location was easy enough to get to. I love that they have different tours for different attractions and seasons. The Scavenger Hunt was a great way for the suburban folks to see and explore real Richmond. I highly recommend it to all.

Loved it
We had a great Tuk Tuk experience and we are definitely going to do it again. We did the distillery tour and what I really appreciated was that the company communicated with our party when there was a slight hiccup with one of the distilleries being closed on the day we scheduled our ride. Our driver was awesome and flexible. All around awesome experience for people visiting and for us who live here. Check RVA Tuk Tuk!

Spring TUKTUK w/ friends
Myself & five friends had a great time on our 3-hour custom tour! We combined a few elements from the city tour & the bakery tour then added a few things of our own! We thoroughly enjoyed stops at Fat Rabbit, Outside the Box, Second Bottle, Union Market, and Penny Lane Pub! Brian was a great driver & he was very easy going. We plan to do the tacky light tour during the holidays!!

A Must Try in Richmond!
We did the bakery tour and loved it! My husband and I live in Richmond, but my family came in from out of town and it was such a cool way to see the city! We learned about some great bakeries and tried things we usually wouldn’t have chosen, which were all amazing. I’ve been telling anyone who will listen to go on one of these!

Wonderful TukTuk Holiday Ride
My wife and I had the pleasure of being driven around by TukTuk Annie. She was fantastic! We had such a great time seeing all of the cool Christmas decorations and lights. TukTuk Annie was polite, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the history of Richmond. We are definitely going to return for another adventure.

Tacky Lights, Fabulous Fun
The tacky light tour was so much fun! Our driver was hilarious and full of interesting trivia about Richmond. There were a TON of homes on the tour. A neat way to take in The Fan, Oregon Hill, and Museum District over the holidays. The heated seats and clear flaps on the Tuk Tuk kept us comfy despite the 32 degree weather.

Happy to now be a TukTuker!
Our family had an awesome time TukTuking around Richmond on the bakery tour! It was tons of fun to see the city from that perspectives and our driver did a wonderful job of parking us close to all of the bakeries! She was able to give us a little nugget of knowledge about each bakery which added to the overall experience! Looking forward to our next TukTuk adventure – tacky light tour maybe???

Great family adventure.
Our family of four had a great time doing the scavenger hunt. Our driver was very nice and
courteous. He even stopped at a restaurant so that we could grab some cold drinks!
Definitely a great way to tour the city if you’re from out of town

The best part of my Bachelorette party
I knew it was going to be fun to go around the city with my friends, but this was definitely MORE than I expected. The drivers were very nice and helpful with the stops, recommendations, and even let us play our own music.
Me and 9 friends rented 2 tuk-tuks for my bachelorette party. We were bar hopping around Downtown and the Fan. It was a great night!!!!

Civil War and Black History in Richmond
This was an amazing experience experienced on Father’s Day. The ride was so enjoyable. The driver was excellent in getting us from place to place. The tour guide, Kelly, was so very personable and knowledgeable. Despite having lived in the region for many years we saw and learned many things on this tour. It is an extremely well balanced tour incorporating Civil War Richmond with the slave experience and Black history.

A night to remember
We hired RVATukTuk to be the transportation for our wedding, and our getaway car at the end of the night. They were so easy to work with, and our guests loved it. They are so fun and memorable and added a new element to our wedding. Plus, they’re so fun to ride in, and it was really amazing to get in one in my huge wedding dress! Thank you RVATukTuk!

Great way to see Richmond
Excellent option for touring Richmond in 90 min— allowing an overview of the city, its history, and key neighborhoods and sites for future exploration. Comfortable and enyoyable with no walking. Knowledgeable driver is personal guide.

Tacky Light tour
This is a great way to see the city and all of the lights during the holiday season. The view of downtown from Oregon Hill was my favorite part. Our driver was kind and considerate. The tuktuk was clean. The Christmas music selection was surprisingly not annoying for late December.

Great Activity Any Time of Year
We took a tacky lights tour of Richmond and what a fun experience! Our tour guide knew EVERYTHING there is to know about Christmas lights, it was truly incredible. It was a cold night but the TukTuk has heated seats and we were provided with a blanket. I would definitely go again for another tour.

We couldn’t have loved this tour more! Matthew was so knowledgeable about Richmonds history and was able to answer all of our inquisitive groups questions. Highly recommend! Also…it was a chilly day and we were perfectly comfortable with the heated seats and blankets.

Private Tour of Richmond
This 90 minute tour with tour guide Matt was outstanding. The tour was exceptionally well planned and the information presented extremely informative – covering both historic Richmond and contemporary sites and happenings. This provides a tremendous overview of the city and helps one understand how to easily revisit each of the sites for more in depth touring. Kudos to this company and tour guide Matt.

An unforgettable ride through Richmond
This was my second time on RVA Tuk Tuk and it was great! Lyndsi the owner is so responsive and consistent with her emails. I needed to change the timing of our ride and she was so accommodating. Our driver, Matt, is a saint to put up with four crazy girls on a bachelorette trip. He drove us all over richmond and pointed out new locations we hadn’t seen before. My friends had an awesome time and we will definitely book again!

A must do when visiting this amazing city
This was the best fun and most clever way to start the visit of a city ever. Richmond is so packed with things to see and do that its hard to know where to start. We suggest this as a must way to start. The trip is an hour and a half and takes you to every important site and location and gives you a perfect way to identify where you should go back and spend more time. Its comfortable and our guide, Matt was so informative. Do it!

TukTuk Fun
The TukTuk ride was unlike anything we’ve ever experienced as a family. It gave us a totally different perspective of Richmond. It’s an excellent value for the amount of time you get and the places you get to see. Our tour guide was just the right amount of informative. We enjoyed our time, but especially my 3 year old son who thought riding the tuk tuk was the coolest thing ever.

Great fun, and a wonderful way to see the city! The person who help set up our custom tour was amazing and made sure we hit the high points. Our guide was perfection, very knowledgeable, personable and dedicated to making sure our experience was a good one. The TukTuk was also great fun, comfortable and provided an unequalled view of the sites. The best way to see Richmond!

Sooooo worth it!
Came in early for a soccer tournament and wanted to find a way to see a bunch of Richmond in a short amount of time. I’m also a sucker for unique experiences. Richmond Tuk Tuk hit the mark on BOTH counts. We felt like we saw all the highlights of Richmond, got amazing stories about its rich history (including a view about how Richmond is changing), and great restaurant recommendations! Our guide, Martha, was fantastic and based on the waves, honks and call outs – is very popular. We felt so lucky. Had a great time and we HIGHLY recommend! Best 1.5 hours spent!!

Civil War from the Richmond perspective
We took our teenage granddaughters on the Civil War Slavery trip and were treated to a museum employee hop on for the 1 1/2hr. trip. They all felt it was fun and learned a lot. They asked good questions and engaged the docent with challenging questions.

Easy Peasy
My husband and I took our three near teens on a tour through Richmond with David in his tuk tuk. It was a great way to take in some sites and some sunshine from the comfort of a zippy little vehicle. Wish they were in every city! David was very friendly and knowledgeable and we covered way more turf than we would have on foot.

Great for visitors AND long-time Richmonders!
I had some family members visit and wanted to take them on a tour around the city without having to drive, and this was such an awesome way to do that! We booked a 1.5 hour brewery tour and brought drinks on our ride. It was a chilly day, but between the zip-up windows, seat heaters, and blanket that’s provided, we didn’t even notice the cold! We requested that our guides just take us on a scenic route with a stop for a beer-refill. They did a great job showing us awesome views and providing fun facts along the way. We were even able to connect to the bluetooth to play our own music. I wouldn’t change anything about our trip (except maybe to book a longer tour), and definitely plan to do it again!

Great for InLight
We took it for 1708’s InLight and it was the perfect way to enjoy the exhibit. The driver was friendly and helpful. There were heated seats and blankets and it wasn’t too windy. We only had 3 people so that made us more comfortable with social distancing. NOTE: If u plan to drink (and it’s allowed) use sippy cups or something with a lid…it can be a bit bumpy.

Great experience
We had a wonderful experience with RVATukTuk and our driver! She was so flexible and understanding with what we wanted to accomplish in 3 short hours. The cart itself felt safe. They had everything you might need – speakers, lights, and a cooler. Would definitely recommend to others and will do it again.

Awesome and Unique Experience!
We had an awesome day bar hopping via RVATukTuk in RVA with some out-of-town family! Our driver, Ben, was super friendly and suggested some sight-seeing stops we didn’t plan on but loved! The booking, pick-up/drop-off processes were easy as well. I’m looking forward to booking another trip in the fall with some local friends! RVATukTuk is an excellent addition to Richmond!!

Great Company, Great Tour
If you want the short story: we had an amazing time and would absolutely do it again! This is most definitely a 10/10 would recommend scenario. I found RVATukTuk on Instagram while searching for something fun to do with my family while they were in town. Since I live pretty far from my home town, my family hasn’t been down to visit much. It was important that I make the trip as special as possible and show them my city. I was unsure which tour to book at first because they offer so many! I reached out via email to RVATukTuk and they responded immediately. They were very patient with all of my questions and walked me through everything which I really appreciated. The site was easy to use and I was able to book everything in less than 5 minutes. On the day of the tour it was raining – ugh! Before I could even reach out, they called me and assured me that the TukTuk was equipped with rain gear so we could still go on the tour. They also gave me the option to reschedule for no extra charge. Can you say amazing customer service?! Since my family was only here for the weekend, we kept our tour as scheduled and we’re so glad we did! The TukTuk holds 6 people and we were able to bring a car seat on board for our 7 month old. We were able to see some great spots and learn more of the city’s history. My family and I truly enjoyed it!

We reserved our Tuk Tuk tour for our son’s 7th birthday and he said it was the “best birthday ever”. Our driver was prompt, safe, helpful and a pleasure to talk to during our ride. The Tuk Tuk was comfortable and clean. I highly recommend RVATukTuk for a unique tour around town.

Our family had a wonderful time seeing RVA from a different perspective. While our kids were older (ages 16 and 14), the smiles on their faces when we drove off in the Tuk Tuk were priceless. This was a really fun adventure and the perfect social distancing activity. We plan to do it again!

Great Team Building Event
We had a wonderful time on RVA TukTuk. The driver picked us up at our office and took us to Scott’s Addition. We went to a brewery and then to the new gaming place Slingshot. My mortgage team enjoyed the experience and we plan on doing this again. What a fun time!
