Overview

Your pedicab tour of downtown Raleigh usually takes about 90 minutes (minimum). (PLEASE NOTE!: I have only one pedicab, so please do not double-book for your family or group.)

The pedicab is designed with the passengers seated in front of the driver for an unobstructed view. The average tour covers a distance of 5-6 miles. (ATTENTION: The seat is 39 inches wide. You can book for 2 adults but have a 3rd passenger, IF it is a child and you CAN all fit comfortably!)

This was a wonderful history- and inspiring-figure filled treat of a tour. The tour does not take much time, but the guide's tenure as a history teacher shines through. The relaxing ride is rich with information about Raleigh. As the stories unfolded, we saw the downtown top-to-bottom and side-to-side. Thank you for a lovely afternoon!

We got to see how beautiful downtown Raleigh is. Mike was very knowledgeable of Raleigh's history. I learned some cool facts and about 2 major historic figures that I never heard about! Definitely worth the experience.
