Group Tours
Our regular, daily electric Trikke tours accommodate up to 9 guests per tour. Those can be booked online anytime from our website. Please view our Trikke tours page to see tour descriptions and our real-time calendar. If your group size is larger, we can create a custom tour schedule to accommodate your team (in separate, private tours departing at different times).
If a team-building Trikke adventure is more to your liking, our signature Trikke treasure hunts offer a unique and exciting way to travel through downtown Raleigh while also providing a team experience solving riddles and clues (maximum of 9 guests).
Our popular themed walking tours will be a great fit for those who prefer to explore downtown on foot. Our walking tours are led by our expert guides and provide a wonderful introduction to our amazing local history and landmarks, as well as little-known fun facts about our city! This is an ideal choice for large groups. (4 to 40 guests. Advance booking required.)
Please fill out the Group Tour form at the bottom of this page to inquire about booking our specialty tours, or if you have any other group-related questions, or want to request a custom day or time for any of our activities.
Trikke Treasure Hunt
The experience starts off with Carolina Touring Company’s knowledgeable staff teaching you how to ride an electric Trikke. Green, energy-efficient Trikkes are easy to learn. They steer and have handbrakes similar to a bike’s, and use a handlebar throttle for power. Our expert guides lead two teams through Raleigh’s historic downtown neighborhoods. The teams travel on different routes, traveling from point-to-point on Trikkes, and solving clues and hunting on foot for treasure caches. In the end, both teams interact by combining clues and solving a word puzzle to find the final cache location.
