We had a very informative and fun tour of the city! We have visited Richmond 3 other times and yet never knew about so many of the sites that leaned of on our tuk tuk tour. Would absolutely recommend and would do again!
Very comprehensive tour. Fast paced. Could hear speaker well. He was charming and extremely knowledgeable. Can tell he enjoys his job. I’m local and he shared many things I didn’t know about. Would definitely do it again.
Excellent overview of the history of Richmond. Paul was an exceptional guide and delivered a fun and interesting historical tour of the city. This was a tour with the family for my father’s birthday.

Our guide Lee was very knowledgeable. She lived in Richmond and she had descendents in the Hollywood Cemetery. She gave us many interesting facts about all of the different areas within the city.

Jenny was great: voluminous local and historical knowledge, safe driver, voice that projects well to the passengers. Some tour flexibility as passengers have higher interest.
To us, Shockhoe Bottom was the most interesting both historically and currently. The mild weather contributed to the open-air riding enjoyment.
With the low-to-the-floor seating, 6 footers may feel cramped when more than 2 or 3 passengers are in the vehicle.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and took into account our interests. She was superb and we all learn a lot about the city, both those of us who are residents and out the of towners. . It was a great way to get an overview of certain areas of the city. We were traveling slow enough to actually see things. All of party could enjoy looking and no one had to drive. Highly recommend the experience and let your guide know what you are interested in.

Paul guided us all throughout Richmond and shared the
historical highlights. He was delightful and we learned so much about the city, which helped us decide how to spend the next few days.

They were flexible and so kind. Jenny made us feel comfortable all along. Enjoyed the ride, and hearing of Richmond history and what it has to offer.

Dress for the weather. It was a little drizzly. A little difficult to hear our guide, Logan because it is noisy which was a shame because he was so knowledgeable. There was not one question he couldn’t answer. It was especially delightful in Hollywood cemetery as he shared his knowledge of well-known people interred there.

Good overall tour of Richmond with friendly knowledgeable tour guide. We loved the 6 seater vehicle and even provided a blanket for our trip. Highly recommend this tour. Able to park in lot or on the street. Guide was helpful and even sent a list of restaurants as we were not familiar with Richmond.

It is open air so dress accordingly. Paul was very knowledgeable and gave a great overview of the city and its history.

We brought out of town friends for this tour and were very disappointed. The tour was not well-planned and the driver provided very little information or commentary about the areas we were driving through. We’ve only lived in Richmond for a year but we were able to provide more information about the area than our guide. We drove over the same streets multiple times without seeing murals, or areas of history of slavery. The driver had no microphone so we couldn’t even hear him. It felt like the driver was just trying to kill time.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Sorry that this tour didn’t meet your expectations. You didn’t book a historic tour or a mural tour. Although we do offer both of those types of tours. This tour was a general tour of the city. Your guide is one of our best and gets lots of great reviews. Please reach out to us directly if you have additional feedback.
Pleasant. Small vehicle so can travel in narrow spaces. Can see a lot from cart. A little bumpy at times.

Very informative and fun with Anne. We definitely recommend this tour. Great way to get familiar with Richmond

We had such a great time seeing and learning about Richmond's history. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and could even answer all of our random questions! If we make it back to Richmond, we will do the tour of all of the murals around town!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thanks!
We were expecting a much better experience based on past reviews! Our tour guide, David, needed a microphone as we could not hear much of what he was saying! He showed us beautiful areas around Richmond but was not informative or knowledgeable on details or historical facts. Would recommend the tour but not the tour guide.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with RVA Tuk-tuk. Annie, our tour guide, was friendly and knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning about Richmond's fan district, museum district and community. We wanted to do another tour with her but timing on our short stay didn't allow for it. I would highly recommend spending a few hours with TukTuk Tours and learning about the city, history and traditions of Richmond's neighborhoods.

This was our first time in Richmond, and this was a good way to get a quick overview. We had tweens with us, and our tour guide (Annie) did such a good job sharing details they would find interesting. They were particularly intrigued by the Hollywood Cemetery so she made a point of telling them stories behind the tombstones and monuments.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thanks!
It was such a fun experience. Got to see the architectural beauty of Richmond. Also got to find the bumpy roads!! LOL

Great to see different parts of Richmond would have like to see more of city instead of staying so long in the cemetery. Not sure it was worth the money for two but was fine and guide was great but very noisy with traffic.

Thanks
Lee, our tour guide was terrific. She had wonderful stories to tell us at every stop. I really wanted her to focus on Hollywood cemetery and she did not disappoint! The trip was pleasant for all of us, including my 90-year-old mother.
