By foot, track or wheels—here are three top-tier Raleigh tours.
All aboard! Take a trip through history via the railroad tracks with seasoned train engineer JD Thomas for some schoolin’ on the railroad system’s rich stories, tidbits and lore. Start at Union Station and stroll around DTR to see the tracks for yourself—with a stop to sip a soda at Wye Hill—and learn about the safety, history and future of the railroad system. Fun fact: There’s an orange juice train that zooms to New York and earns special priority on the tracks (!). And on the fourth Saturday of each month, go full steam ahead with an actual ride on a train—a shirt included in each tour to boot. thesouthboundexperience.com
“The wheels on the bus go round and round…” and they might even wine. Board the bus for a bottleful time traveling, tasting and developing your wine knowledge at 100+ wineries and vineyards across NC via this Durham-based biz’s sommelier-guided group wine bus tours—either by high country or coastal exploration. … Hey, it’s wine o’clock somewhere (!). tastesquared.com
Lace up your sneaks for a pay-what-you-want walking tour through DTR with seasoned host Tricia Sabol, who takes groups around town solely out of a love for her city and to share her extensive knowledge on myriad subject matters. Think: general and haunted history, true crime, murals and public art, and more. Now that’s what we’re walking about! raleighwalkingtours.com
