Testimonials

“Even though I’ve been in Virginia for almost 14 years, I didn’t really grasp how many fun and exciting things were around in Richmond until RVAx appeared! Their weekly guide is so immensely helpful in knowing what new and fun things are going on every week! Things I wouldn’t have even known about on my own! I highly recommend joining our little community! You’ll have a blast!”

— Heather J.

“Hey, just wanted to give you guys a shout out! Living here for about 4 years, I have done a lot in Richmond. Being a busy, active male I don’t always have time to do my research. The RVAx membership has been great for me. I look at the guide multiple times a week for something spontaneous to do. From rock climbing to social events, it has really made things fun and easy. I would recommend it to anyone looking for fun things to do!”

— Jason T.

“I’ve found so many treasures in Richmond since following RVAx and am always super excited to share RVAx with new staff and families as they’re getting acquainted to the area! Whether it’s upcoming events for the week, a new exercise studio to try, a restaurant to check out, trails, breweries, wineries to explore…you guys have yet to steer us wrong! Love all that you continue to highlight in our walkable, beautiful city! Full of great coffee shops, restaurants, gorgeous hikes and views along the JR trails and SO much more.”

— Wendy S.

“The duo behind The Richmond Experience are like those friends who are just in the know, somehow. So joining RVAx was a no-brainer to keep up with everything cool going on in Richmond, both as residents who enjoy making the most of our city and as small business owners wanting to stay on top of trends. It’s one thing to read city news, but another entirely to see what’s going on through the unpretentious lens of RVAx.”

— Brian B., Owner of River City Food Tours
