I went with some friends a few weekends ago for a birthday party for the first time and had a blast! I’ve seen people on the Trolley Pubs for several years now and have never had a chance to go, but I highly recommend it! Our driver/guide was Patrick and he did a phenomenal job. He gave us history of the downtown Raleigh area, gave us great bar recommendations, and was very friendly and easy going. Unfortunately one of our friends lost her phone during the tour, but with his and another driver/guide’s help and accommodation to the situation we managed to find it. So if you go, ask for Patrick, he does an awesome job!
