Large groups of 7-14 this activity is for you! The .raleigh can hold up to 14 guests and takes you on a 2 hour bar tour of Raleigh.
Start the tour in the bottleshop and grab some drinks to take on the trolley (package includes 1 drink) and get a briefing on how the trolley operates and choose where you'd like to go to.
We picked .raleigh and for our 2 stops. And brought our drone to get videos and photos of the big group.
I was surprised how easy it was to pedal and liked that there are 4 seats you don't need to pedal at for those who just wanted to relax.
We got to choose our own music on board the trolley so we were working out and dancing.
Such a great thing to do with friends and explore the city!
Head over to the link in our bio or the trolley pub's page to book an experience.
