I took a bus to Frankenmuth and we enjoyed the PedAle Trolley. Ryan and Brandon were very accommodating as we had a couple special requests. Since we didn't have vehicles, they were able to pick us up at the River Place. They were also able to divide our group into two 1 hour rides instead of one 2 hour ride! Communication with them was great! They were readily accessible via text and phone calls.

We had so much fun! A group of 10 ladies for my bachelorette party & we couldnt stop laughing, singing, or drinking! Brett was our driver & he was AMAZING! We’ll definitely be back for another trolley around Frankenmuth 🍻
( we recommend listening to them when THEY recommend close toe comfortable shoes) 🙃

I recently had the chance to try out a pedal trolley, and I must say, it was a letdown. This specific experience was far from enjoyable, and I wouldn’t recommend it to others. We tried it in Bay City and had an amazing experience there, so our hopes were very high going into a fun town like Frankenmuth.
First off, the pedal trolly driver was extremely strange. He made very perverted comments to our younger girls in the group, and even asked to see tattoos that we had. He wasn't much of a bartender that kept us entertained and made the environment fun, he made it seem like he had to be there, not that he wanted to be there. Which I thought was very unfortunate because our Bay City driver made the experience for us. She was funny, helpful, responsible, and made our night not want to be over. In this case, we were begging to go back to our cars and clapped as soon as we hit the parking lot because it was over and we made it back safely in one piece.
Additionally, the trolley’s steering was imprecise, making it hard for the driver to navigate turns and obstacles. We actually almost hit several cars, which detracted from any potential fun. And ended up hitting the median in the middle of the road and everyone went jolting up in the air and our stuff went everywhere, including off of the trolly. A toolbox actually flew down from the top shelve and hit one of my friends. We all woke up the next morning very sore.
The environment where the pedal trolley was used didn’t help either, every bar we stopped at we were treated very poorly, and unwanted. Even though all of those bars were sponsors of the trolly, it was very confusing.
Overall, the pedal trolley experience was not worth the time, effort, or money. It’s a shame because I had high hopes for a fun and unique outing, but it ended up being more of a chore.

We were looking forward to our first trip to Frankenmuth and thought the Pedale Trolley would be fun since there were four adults and no children on our trip. A week before our trip, I tried to book the trolley online using a discount code from the Frankenmuth coupon book. The 10% off code would not work and I called Dean at Pedale Trolley several times to get a code to work. I booked the the July 11, 2019, tour and our group was instructed to arrive at 8:30 p.m. for the 9:00 p.m. departure. At 8:08 p.m. Dean called and cancelled the trolley for our group and told me he would issue a refund. It has been several weeks and I have not received a refund. I have emailed Dean and contacted my credit card company several times and no refund has been issued. I filed a dispute with my credit card company. We were very dissappointed with the tour being cancelled on such short notice and still no refund. Beware!!

Hello! Sorry to see your review. As our policy states, we always cancel the tour if we do not have eight or more reservations. We apologize for the inconvenience, but like we told you on the phone the day the tour was cancelled, we would reimburse all booking expenses to you. The reimbursement was posted to your account on July 19. Yet I see this review was posted on July 28. We have made several attempts to contact you to make sure you did indeed receive the payment on July 19. We have not heard back from you at the date of this response. Again, we apologize for cancelling the tour and our booking agent has heard the concerns we have voiced and is working very hard to provide quicker reimbursement returns. I hope we can resolve this.

We took the PedAle trolley for my sister’s bachelorette party and it was so fun! The views were great, we stopped at bars, and our driver (Zach) was super nice and great. I would highly recommend!
