I went out last evening with a birthday group and we had AJ "Bama" as our "captain". He was very…read morefriendly and made sure we all knew the rules. I was a sober participant and as such I was able to see how patient he was even when the group got more "rowdy" as the evening progressed. The carts have shelves on top, a space in the middle for people to "bartend" and a cooler/ keg hookup. Protip for future groups- bring water and drink it because pedaling makes you sweat or at a minimum dehydrate and that can speed up the process of "party mode". Clearly I'm the mlm of the group and have no shame Thanks for a good time!

Finally, we got in touch with them and they had given our spot away, with no explanation. We were planning an out of town field trip with our young students and 2 days before driving 2 hours for our tour, we had to quickly make other plans. The office is hard to get in touch with and impossible to book with. I am sure the experience would have been great, but we will never know.

You can bring your own food and brings on this boat. There is no bathroom on the boat but you do make a stop. While you are at that stop make sure you hit up that bar and get a few more drinks. The staff was cool and was having a good time with us and we wanted them to feel like they were apart of the party too. I believe you can have up to 14 people and we used all that space and fit comfortable on the boat.

I expected the group I was with to be a little more lively and to really cut up but they didn't. It might have been because we were coming from Indy on a Sunday afternoon. I will do this again next time Im in Cincinnati with a live bunch and really take advantage.

This is the first pedal bar I had been on but during our trip we saw some of the other companies bikes and ours was much nicer. We had drink deals at 2 of the 3 stops.

This was a tour of some of the murals in OTR (Over the Rhine) which is north of downtown. It was…read moreabsolutely amazing. The tour guide/ driver was so knowledgeable and I could have listened to him for hours. If you are interested in art, this is an absolute must do. Whether you are a Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky resident, a newcomer or visitor, you must do this tour. There are also walking mural tours and Pedal Wagon food and drink options, either way, I highly recommend doing a Pedal Wagon. One minor issue, they say the Wagon holds 16 but one of the seats is a cooler and one of the seats is a bench that is supposed to seat three but was not very comfortable for our group of senior ladies. We would have been more comfortable if it was only 14. So as a word of caution unless your group is really young and/or thin, don't do 15-16 passengers.

So it was good but also was bad - let's talk about the good first, we had a lady and not gonna…read morewrite her name down but she was a very nice & kind. So that was definitely a nice thing. So we enjoyed that she was nice & kind. She offered us water at the start of the Pedal Wagon tour and spoke to us which was nice. Okay, now the bad. So we did think this was gonna be a Pedal Wagon Tour of Cincinnati? Well it wasn't really a Tour. We just went to two bars- something we really don't do like that. Don't get me wrong the two bars we went to did have some nice chicken- and the people was friendly. But we were looking more on tour of Cincinnati- We booked a tour to learn more about the history & go to vary of different things normal people whose is not from the city would enjoy. Well we spent money just to go to two bars and to ride on a pedal bike. To be honest we would have done that ourselves. So didn't feel like we got our money worth. We actually spent more money than we wanted to because we were trying to at least keep ourselves entertained by going to the two bars she took us to. Which was not in our budget plan for this specific event. So we told them to just leave us at the friendly market and they went on their way at the end of trip. So overall, if your looking for a tour of Cincinnati I wouldn't recommend booking this but if your looking just to ride the Pedal Wagon for a couple of hours and party a little then highly recommended it.

You can hook your phone up and play your own music and bring your own beer and wine as long as it isn't in a glass bottle.

There is absolutely no way, you could get as nice a hotel, a reservation at hofbräuhaus the night before, and a reservation at a Traditional Tent, trying to book this trip on your own.

The hotel we stay in is modern, clean, and a great location to the fair grounds. Our Tour Guide Michael is the best part of this tour, he is so helpful and relaxed. He is there to make sure we have fun while staying safe in a foreign city.

A great museum complex packed with tons of fascinating exhibits and history!…read moreThis is a place with several "museums within a museum" because there is the main visitor's center building that has a variety of aviation exhibits, but it also houses the parachute museum within the walls of the visitor's center. There is also a national parks gift shop where you can get your passport stamped, buy aviation related merchandise and get some other national parks items. Across from the entrance, there is another building - one of the Wright Brothers cycle shop buildings. You can enter as part of one of their hourly tours. The exhibits inside are informative and a few are interactive. They also show a film about the Wright Brothers lives. They also offer a junior ranger program book that gets kids more engaged in the exhibits. My daughter loved completing the booklet and getting sworn in as a ranger! If you are traveling the aviation trail (or if you are wanting to learn more about the Wright Brothers) this is a must visit! The staff were wonderful and informative.

This is a very worthwhile visit and one of the better curated museums that I've seen among the NPS…read morefacilities. And that is saying something because I think the collection of NPS museums are among the best around. This particular facility is located by the Wright Brothers 4th cycle shop in near-West Dayton. When we visited, there were a handful of opportunities to tour the small shop itself on the half hour through the middle of the day. This was with one of the NPS guides as an interpreter. The shop tour was only 20 - 30 minutes but provided an excellent overview of the history of the Brothers as their business ventures evolved and as they eventually moved toward aeronautics. The display also touches on the history of the bicycle and its place in American life at the close of 19th Century. This itself is an interesting subject to explore a bit. Note that registration for and commencement of the tour are in the Visitor Center. The museum in the main building is two floors and covers the lives of the Wrights as well as that of Paul Laurence Dunbar. The story of the Wrights is fascinating and their mechanical genius is well documented. The struggles with the patent and overcoming political obstinance within the US government is a part of the narrative most don't know. What particularly caught my attention was their discovery that the accepted physical constants of the day regarding drag coefficients, etc. were wrong and were impeding efforts toward successful flight by those in the field. This discovery and their subsequent corrective action gave them their leg up in being the first to advance flight. While science is by definition objective reality, sometimes humans interpret it incorrectly crossing the boundary between science and dogma. The claim of "scientific fact" always comes with potentially fallible interpretation and should always be questioned. It's hard to reverse a wrong path. Dunbar's life is an equally interesting story. A prolific writer who died far too early, his journey to get past the profound racial barriers of his day is one worth understanding. It is significant to ponder what could have been without the shackles of prejudice. His brilliance is clear from his writing and the volume of his production. A visit to this museum is time well spent. The lives of the Wrights, the history of flight, the state of the art in the area of mechanical devices in the late 19th century and the life of PL Dunbar are all intriguing subjects that are explored. You can easily spend 2 - 3 enjoyable hours here.
