Overview

Mobile ticket
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 tour can be customized to your interest. Learn about the history and sights of the area. Where you stop and for how long is determined by you in consultation with your guide/driver. 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!)

5.00We are Raleigh locals but learned a lot of interesting history and had a great time. Michael was friendly and knowledgeable and we highly recommend him. Seeing the city in a pedicab was totally different than driving through Raleigh the last 20 years. I highly recommend this for locals and visitors.

5.00This 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!
