Too quiet!
668everetted, October 2026
The vehicle we were in, the driver didn’t say a word the entire trip. I rode backwards so I had no idea what we were even looking at. It was very disappointing because the other tuk-tuks’ inhabitants said they got a lot of great information from their drivers.

Richmond overview
932stacys, October 2026
This is a unique overall experience...I consider it pricy per individual. Our guide was a good driver and very friendly and accommodating but he needs to tidy up his dates and details on Richmond's history (when we asked questions he wasn't always sure)...and know where the capital is which is a great stop on the tour which we did finally do at the end!

Enjoyed the tour
CB187, September 2026
Paul did a great job taking us around the city giving a cultural tour. Enjoyed seeing the murals and a nice mix of points of interest. Would have like to stop at a few places but time did not permit. Appreciate Paul telling us how to get back to those places. Definitely get him to drop you off at The Jefferson hotel right near the pickup/drop-off. Well worth a look inside.
