Private Pedicab Tour of Downtown Raleigh
Private Pedicab Tour of Downtown Raleigh
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.
