Reviews

What a fun afternoon we had on the Riverside Avondale Preservation Tour! We were looking for something fun to do on Black Friday and decided to give the Tuk Tuk a try. 2 members of our party live in Avondale and thought we knew just about all there was to know about our neighborhood. We quickly realized how much there was to learn. Toni was an amazing and fun tour guide. She knew so much about the architecture and history of the area and seemed genuinely excited to share it with us. We highly recommend this tour to newcomers and lifelong residents alike.

We had so much fun with Toni, our tour guide, putt-ing through the most architecturally fascinating neighborhoods. Toni is very knowledgeable and was able to customize the tour when she understood, by talking with us as we putt-ed along, what historical and architectural tidbits we found of particular interest. It takes a very skilled and knowledgeable guide to be able to do that and it certainly made the tour FABULOUS for us! I have no idea what details she might have left out nor what she added. All I know is that around every corner and at every stop informative interesting things fell out of Toni’s mouth and into my ears. And, she waited for us to ask more questions, to which she mostly had the answers and told us when she didn’t, before moving on to the next place to see.
Go Tuk’n! You won’t regret it!
