Wow. Such a fun thing to do. We had a blast. Lauren was phenomenal. Whether you do it by yourself, as a couple, as a family gathering or whatever, I cant recommend this enough. Just a fun thing to do. Already thinking about doing it again.

Jess was absolutely wonderful and made our time on the trolley so much fun. we actually chose to spend more time on the trolley because of how friendly and fun she was during our entire ride. Highly recommend!

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!

FAQ
What is the Trolley Pub?
Where does the Trolley Pub stop and for how long?
Visit the Routes page for details. Just let your driver know where you would like to stop at the start of the tour. Most groups make 2 stops and stay 15-20 minutes at each stop. These stops will vary based on the group on board, rider requests, and the driver’s discretion.
Isn’t it hard to pedal?
It’s not too bad! We have had groups of all 70+ seniors pedal just fine. If they can do it, you can do it!!!
What if it rains?
Where do we board the Trolley Pub?
Can we drink on board?
You may, but you have to follow the rules. No hard alcohol or glass. All alcohol is BYOB. Alcoholic beverages must remain on board at all times. Bring your own ice chest or use ours. You are also free to bring food on board. Use common sense, you can’t drink on the street. Do not get overly intoxicated or you will be kicked off. Do not show up to a Trolley Pub tour intoxicated or you will not be let on board.
How many people can fit on the Trolley Pub?
How do I reschedule/cancel my tour?
Paddle Pub and Trolley Pub now offer trip insurance, which will allow you flexibility in the case your plans change, or if the tour needs to be canceled due to the inclement weather.
Trip insurance will also allow you to receive a full refund in the event of a Severe Weather Warning from the National Weather Service during the time of your scheduled tour results in a cancellation on our end. You may also voluntarily cancel your tour for any reason up to 7 days prior to your tour for a full refund.
To purchase trip insurance, simply select the add on “Trip Insurance” during checkout. Please note that for mixer tours, you will need to select the number of tickets you would like to insure to cover all the tickets.
Without trip insurance, all sales are final – no exceptions. In the case a tour needs to be canceled on our end in the event of severe weather and you do not have trip insurance, you will receive a credit for a future tour at any TourScale location (Trolley Pub, Paddle Pub, Tiki Pub) in the country. Currently, we have tours in over 30 cities across the US.

Yes. The minimum age on a private tour is 15. The minimum age on a public mixer tour is 21.
