We greatly enjoyed this experience with the Carolina touring company! The trikkes were fun and easy to ride for our whole group. Todd was knowledgeable about the history of Raleigh and answered our many questions. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an experience around downtown Raleigh

We had an amazing time with Todd today. Our teens loved his stories and had really a good time which is an amazing compliment coming from them. We adults also enjoyed all history behind the main landmarks and he did really do a great job . We will keep counting on this company when family is visiting.

Great day out! The trikkes were comfortable, easy to use and fun. Todd shared a lot about the history of Raleigh and the surrounding area. We went to historical buildings, homes, points of interest, parks, museums and more. Todd pointed out restaurants, theaters and recommended places to go and things to do. We had a fantastic time. Highly recommend!

We loved this tour! We had a great time learning more about downtown Raleigh from our tour guide Todd. Our group was made up of a mix of folks who both knew the area/had lived here for years and others who are new to Raleigh. Everyone learned something from this trip and had a blast hearing the stories and laughing at the jokes. It was an amazing tour and we would definitely use Carolina Touring Company again.

Todd and Sandy are absolutely wonderful to work with! We took eight 16 and 17 year olds out for a 2 hour tour of Downtown Raleigh on their amazing three-wheeled Trikkes. The kids, my husband, and I had a blast on the Trikkes and LOVED learning the history (including some of the scandals and ghostly tales) of our capital. We will absolutely do this again!!!

Always a great experience with Carolina Touring Company. Whenever we have folks Raleigh from out of town, this a go-to tour for us. Enjoyable and informative experience. Todd is very knowledgeable of the area, always concerned about the group's safety, and having a good time. I highly recommend this fun tour to anyone.
PS The trikes utilized are fun and easy to easy, so don't let that stop you.

Great fun for all ages (14 and greater). Todd led our group on a safe and fun filled educational journey through the Oakwood neighborhood and cemetery. Trikkes were fairly easy to master and Todd kept a continuous watch over us and provided helpful hints to keep us all safe while getting the most our of our rides. Looking forward to scheduling one of the other tours they offer!

We did the trikke tour on a Friday morning with perfect weather. The trikke's were easy to learn and are a lot safer and natural feeling than a segue. We did the Historic Oakwood tour, which included parts of downtown Raleigh as well, including a spin through the Capitol and a photo opp. A good part of the tour was on dedicated bike lanes which made me feel safer among traffic. Oakwood Cemetery is beautiful! I could see coming back here to spend more time enjoying the grounds. Todd is an excellent tour guide and clearly loves his work. Although I've lived in the area since 2006, I learned a TON of new things. Didn't know we had a replicate of the Liberty Bell for example. I plan to do another tour in the future -- it was a fantastic experience!

Our Trikke Tour was outstanding ! Todd provided a wonderful tour of the Historic Oakwood area of Raleigh. His knowledge is incredible and his friendly demeanor made the tour that much better. Trikkes are easy to ride and Todd takes the time to be sure you are comfortable before heading out to explore downtown Raleigh. Excellent family experience!!! We definitely plan on coming back to explore more areas with Todd and Carolina Touring Co.

What is the cost of the tour for seniors and how much time does the average tour take?

Raleigh, NC4 contributions
Hi Randy C - We offer five different Segway tours, all are guided and narrated, and in downtown Raleigh. The best thing to do is to visit our website for complete details. Click on the "website" button from TripAdvisor site, or just google "Triangle Glides Raleigh". Prices range from $49-59 per person and Segway tours vary in length from 90 minutes to two hours (including rider training). All tours are bookable online. There are no Groupon or Living Social promotions. We do not offer a senior discount, but we have group and military discounts (call to inquire). Also, in addition to Segway tours we offer themed walking tours, which are also a lot of fun and informative. Those are priced at $20 per person.

Is riding the Segway hard if you have never done it?
TrikkeRaleighGal
Raleigh, NC4 contributions
Hi Lisa, Most people find it very easy to learn how to ride. It generally just takes a few minutes to feel comfortable. Segways are self-balancing. All our tours begin with a rider orientation and then one-on-one training. We get a lot of first time riders! We hope you'll be able to join us! Check out our tour schedule on our website. You can book directly from our site.
