Seniors. Our guide, Peter, was very knowledgeable but it was a bit of a whirlwind tour! Left the Visitor Center around 11:15, dashed around town, in & out of vehicle about 4 times and then he left us at the Chocolate store in town next to the Art Museum , us thinking it was only a couple of blocks from the visitir center because there was an long line at the chocolate store, it wasn’t that important to us, he had to get back to the visitor center and we thought we were a couple of blocks to the visitor center and could just spend a little time downtown. It was a much farther distance to Visitor center snd my hubby has a knee issue, making it difficult for him to walk long distances. We ended up walking back to the visitor center and then paying another $75 to get the trolley tour we initially thought we were booking. THAT was totally worth it! As I said, Peter was very knowledgeable but that particular tour was just not fit us seniors who just wanted to sit back and enjoy a scenic overall tour of Asheville. Had we gotten the right tour in the first place, we would have been able to have the afternoon to see the River Arts center, which was very important to us. We were surprised that he wouldn’t be taking us there. We felt it was a very rushed tour and didn’t get the overall tour we hoped for. Would NOT recommend it! Not even close to the “hop on/hop off” tour we took later.

We ended the tour downtown at Bishmari Brewery. So, we did get a great brewery experience in as well. Thumbs way, way up!

Great evening touring Asheville. Very helpful and informative staff. Loved the brewery and sight seeing recommendations!!
It was my wife's birthday and we wanted to do something special during our stay in Asheville. The guide was awesome, the tour was just what my wife wanted...Great tour of the best of Asheville.
Our tour guide, Ridge, took my husband and me all around Asheville, NC while giving us details about homes, businesses, people, and just various interesting facts. Asheville has some interesting history and beautiful old homes I would love to live in! The downtown area is chocked full with shops, studios, and restaurants--overall having a very relaxed vibe in general. I'm glad we took the tour and found all this out from someone who knows all about the city!
TL;DR: PETER IS THE BOMB!!!!!! Full Review: Let's talk about how to have a great time in Asheville!! We had booked a long weekend trip without fully realizing just how many people visit Asheville. We really wanted a rooftop bar tour and the one that originated from our hotel was on a waiting list, so that is how we found Tukit, and we're so happy we did! I called on a Friday night asking if there was availability the next day because their website wasn't working correctly. First thing Saturday morning, we got a call and a text from Laban who was able to get us reservations for a rooftop bar tour, however he did tell us with such short notice, we may not get guaranteed admission anywhere. Regardless, a little later that day, we got a text from Peter, our Guide, letting us know he was on track to pick us up at our hotel at the agreed upon time. Once he got there, he let us know that they were not able to secure reservations at any rooftop bars but wanted to know our interests so he could make some suggestions and "make sure we had a great tour." I have to tell you, he totally delivered! We did get the rooftop bar experience at the Grove Park Inn, but also enjoyed him taking us around town and telling us about the history of Asheville. During our tour, we even got to see a black bear!! To top it all off, he took us to a food truck and local pub that topped off the whole experience. The whole time we were on the tour with Peter we felt like we were just hanging out with a friend. We will definitely repeat and would recommend him to anyone!
Peter took us on a great tour of Asheville He showed us classic mansions and told us alot of the history behind neighborhoods and buildings He walked us through the omni Grove hotel. The hotel rivals the Biltmore house in beauty and class Thank you Peter and Tukit Tour Co.
My girl friends & I took a brewery tour with them back in December & had an AMAZING experience! Peter was our driver & was so patient, customer service savvy & very outgoing which made our trip that much better & enjoyable! We will be going with Tukit Tour Company when we return each year as we typically have a "Momcation" every year & rent a Cabin up in the area! Thank you Peter for the great time & Tukit Tour Company!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Absolutely the best way to take a tour. It was phenomenal. Our guide was amazing. Friendly and knowledgeable.
Had a great tour, started slow but our guide Laban was great and very kind. He really took our likes and made it a part of the trip! Best part was the Omni and all the historical stuff he researched for us as we walked through! We suggested they get a microphone speaker so we could hear better as the street noise blurs out a lot of things he said unless he almost yelled which we felt bad for him. Tuk it should really provide their guides with a simple microphone speaker or something! 5 stars for our guide Laban!
Fun tour. Very informative & interesting guide! The cart started overheating but she handled it like a champ! We enjoyed!
Four of us joined our tour guide Peter for a super fun hour of zooming around Asheville in his electric tour mobile. It was cold outside but we had seat heaters and perfectly clear plastic zip up curtains and roof so we could see. Peter showed us so many mansions and neighborhoods that we realized our previous driving around on our own was nothing in comparison. Peter really knows the town history, architects and businesses. He seems to have TWO favorite Mexican restaurants :). Great, fun tour. Highly recommended! 80,000 residents and 30 breweries!
Peter was our driver for this tour and he did an AMAZING job!!! We came to Asheville for a short weekend getaway and this excursion was a perfect way to spend our time. Peter is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, it’s impossible to not have a great time on this tour!! Five stars aren’t enough, thank you Peter!!!
We did the brewery tour and because of COVID, it was only the 2 of us. Our tour guide, Ridge, was fantastic and really made the experience for us. It was our first time in Asheville so we were pretty open to go anywhere. He took us to a few different breweries, was incredibly knowledgeable, and made recommendations for restaurants and cafes. At one point we were headed to a brewery and got stuck at a train crossing. Rather than having us sit and wait, he turned into this great small bar so we could continue enjoying our day. He also took us up to Omni Grove Park Inn so we could see the view. Highly recommend this company and we’ll be using them again for an upcoming trip.
Our guide Laben (sp?) was awesome! He heard what we wanted to see and took us on a great trip through the town. Very knowledgeable about the area and a joy to ha g out with for our tour. Answered all questions and gave some great suggestions for our visit. I definite must do if you are visiting!
What a great idea! Tukit was able to accommodate our large group and make it a wonderful experience with Door-To-Door service. How do you make 14 people happy? Pick them up, take them where they want to go and tell them great stories along the way. With our informative drivers leading the way, we were able to make multiple stops to making everyone happy. Whether it was multiple lunch stops, pick up and drop offs or simple knowing the fastest and most scenic way to get from Point A to Point B, they had it covered. An absolute must!
ExcellentBased on 95 reviewsDaffodil H25 March 2024Best way to tour Asheville We took a private tour with Tukit and they did an amazing job with showing us the sights, sounds, and culture of Asheville. Driving around downtown in an open air, electric vehicle is not only fun, but the best way to breath in the fresh mountain air. I highly recommend touring Asheville this way!jdmillswatson27 February 2024Great memories for 30th bday celebration! It was my daughter’s 30th bday! Shawn was our driver and he was so kind and fun. They had warmed seats and enclosed so we stayed warm. 4 roof tops! Had a ball! Great memories . Highly recommend!Steffiny K27 February 2024Amazing experience! Must Do! This TukTuk tour for a rooftop bar crawl was amazing! Shawn was an amazing driver and guide. The TukTuk had heated seats, was enclosed, and had some streamers and a birthday sign in the back to help us celebrate our sister’s 30th birthday. This was a great idea even in the cooler weather.Jennifer R11 February 2024Beautiful experience My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time. We were welcomed by our tour guide as soon as we arrived. He was very nice and informative. We will certainly be going back and taking friends.Paul M10 November 2023Great way to explore Asheville Relatives were visiting from out of town and we thought this would be a novel way of showing them the insider's view of Asheville - so we booked a private tour. We were delighted with Tonya's knowledge and enthusiasm and willingness to modify the route we were on at a moments notice. Despite living in Asheville for 4 decades, I learned new places and history of our charming city. Our out of town guests were equally pleased with the Tukit tour. Great experience.Thomas F11 May 2023You have to do it! We had a wonderful time as we celebrated my wife's birthday. We wanted to do something different and it was a beautiful day to be out in the open air Tukit. Our driver was a lot of fun and we had a great experience moving around Asheville for the afternoon.Veronica M10 May 2023Excellent The tour was fantastic and very enjoyable. Ridge was very knowledgeable about Asheville and offered recommendations of restaurants and landmarks. He was correct about 12 Bones BBQ, very good food. Will highly recommend.Maxine McFarland1 May 2023Awesome time! Amazing time with Ridge on 4/30/23. He even had a birthday balloon waiting for me!. Knowledgeable and funny few hours private tour is the ONLY way to go! Thanks Bertha for the ride!Disappointed4 April 2023Couldn’t have been better! Awesome trip! Can’t say enough good things about our tour and our guide, Ridge! Highly, highly recommend!!
