Great way to experience Venice Beach - The vendor was very communicative via text message in the days before this excursion, and was accommodating of us not knowing the area. The driver arrived right on time at the place where our Uber driver dropped us off. I suspect I was a little heavier than most passengers they get, but he was very polite and positive, and showed us the sights. Would definitely do this again as the ideal way to experience the Venice Beach area.

Great Custom Tours! - We saw art in Santa Monica on a Promenade Block Party. Great tour and service! It’s so fun to experience the city in such a unique way.
Many smiles were seen that evening! We look forward to the next special tour.

A wonderful experience to remember - This Rickshaw tour of Venice and Santa Monica was so much fun. We had a fantastic time riding along with the Venice Electric Light Parade. Our experience was more than excellent, and the rickshaw was very comfortable. Our driver was responsible, courteous, and engaging, too. Thank you so so much for such a memorable experience.

Highly Recommend! - Highly recommend! We had a last minute request for our Executive team to do a fun activity in Santa Monica and JoWanda and her team made it happen. The process to book was easy, the team was very accommodating, and our group had a fantastic time. We were completely satisfied and will definitely use them again.

Amazing Sunset Ride - Enjoyed seeing Santa Monica and Venice Beach from a different perspective in the back of the rickshaw while JoWanda narrated fun facts about the area. She went out of her way to make sure we had an amazing experience. Looking forward to giving our kids this same experience in 2025.

Terrifying experience - Horrible experience. Going too fast and recklessly driving in busy traffic with cars speeding too close. I was terrorized and the driver just dismissed, and shrugged me off. when I voiced my concern. I definitely don't recommend.
