Such a fun time! Highly recommend! Nice route and fun guides! Do it next time you're in Traverse City!

A great adventure both Garry and Owen were great! They made the tour so much fun! I learned so much about railroad tracks and the history of the railroad. read more

So fun!! We did this tour at 11am and it was a great experience before grabbing lunch! Not too difficult but do have to pedal!

Great time with fun facts at the turn around. The history was enlightening. Do in the morning as summer are hot! read more

My wife recently surprised me by taking me here. This adventure has been going on for a couple of years and it's brought a lot of attention. We took the hour tour and it did feel really quick. Believe it or not in that time you cover about a mile and a half. You get to ride along the rails until they tell you to stop and then they have a machine where they flip all the trains around. I personally thought that they were two person trains but in fact they were four person trains. It was truthfully pretty pricey it should have been a bit cheaper for the experience. The staff was really nice educate us on some great history of the railroad. They even took her photos too!, Overall, I did enjoy my time here! read more

The concept is good, the scenery is pretty good, the pedal ride bike is great. Very easy I'm sure anyone could pedal no matter what age. This is their 3rd year and said they just renewed rail lease for another 3 years. My hope is they would be able to enhance the experience in some way. I don't typically ask for cheesy attractions but this could use a little something maybe an ice cream/gift shop in the middle. I did notice I nice brook along the way maybe enhance this view etc. Was just a little lack luster. read more

amazing trip great guides a definite must do. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Staff are friendly and knowledgable. The ride was fairly easy. Tracks have heavy weeds in many places. We paid for a motor assist, but it didn't work either way because the chain fell off. The staff fixed it at the half-way turnaround point, but it fell off again. If you are on the fence, might not be worth the extra money to get a motor assist. read more

Amazing trip!! Great guides!! The E Assist is recommended for folks with bad knees but easy to do..

Amazing , so much fun and I got a work out!!!. Great tour guides!. Hope to come back for the 8 mile trip!!! l read more

I enjoyed the concept but the seats were not comfortable, in fact, the back broke on a chair in our car which could not be fixed. Our friend had to go sit elsewhere which left the 3 of us to pedal back up the hill. All good but it would've been more fun to have her with us. I thought the price was alittle extreme since they have really no overhead costs. They are only paying a few employees a few hours on the weekends. It was fun to be outdoors, it was something no one in our group of 8 had done before & any age can do it. Give it a try!!! read more

On our recent family trip to Traverse City, we chose the one-hour Wheels on Rails excursion. To accommodate both younger and older participants, we selected the shorter option but the longer option would have also been very doable. This is designed to be an enjoyable and relaxing ride not a fast and crazy thrill ride. I was impressed by the ease of pedaling the rail bikes, which accommodated four people per car, and the relatively flat terrain. Each rider can choose to pedal or glide and let the other riders do the hard work or maybe take turns. The journey involved crossing two main roads, where our guides effectively managed traffic flow, ensuring a safe passage. Upon reaching the halfway point, we disembarked and the guides gave us some great information on the custom-designed rail bikes and the history of the tracks. They then used a large lazy Susan type turning device to reverse the direction of each bike. The return journey was enjoyable and relaxing, with our enhanced understanding of the tracks' history allowing us to appreciate the notable landmarks highlighted by the guides. This is a fun and relaxing experience ideal for all age groups. The kids, ages 6 and 9, really enjoyed it as well as the parent and grandparents. read more

Very disappointed in this company. While their website says rain or shine, I was given 10 minutes notice that the tour was happening in terrweather, although i started contacting them 90 minutes prior. They were unwilling to rebook me or give me any concession. I'm out $236 . I'm taking this experience off my bucket list. read more

Smooth running from ease of making reservations and adding an extra the day before our ride (great communication!) To being without wonderful guides, Owen and Ella!!! The kindest and smartest young adults we met on our vacation! This is such a fun thing to do!! read more

What a fun experience! The ride was gorgeous-so peaceful. The guides were knowledgeable and personable, the equipment was safe and in great working order. Spend the extra for pedal assist-the incline on the way back can be tough! We're glad we did. read more

The Wheels on Rails tour was really cool!! Macie, our tour guide was so knowledgeable on the area and the history of the railway. Not a difficult ride. read more

What a great trip! The four of us thoroughly enjoyed our 6 mile Hoosier Valley ride on the rails. We're not spring chickens so we opted for the E-assist and never felt overly tired (even had to coast a few times so we wouldn't bump into the bike ahead of us). Filled out all our waivers and info online so check-in was a breeze. Had a couple of great guides-can't recall their names (remember, not spring chickens). Highly recommend this experience....and the E-assist if you're not a spring chicken. read more

Interesting ride. Noting spectacular. They promised 4:30-6:15 we were done way earlier. The amount we paid was not really worth the ride. Never done this before but nothing but basically 4 seater cars with out a top. read more

A novel and fun activity to do! Daniel and Gary were excellent guides- funny and informative.

Really fun for everyone including a toddler. Not too physically taxing. Whole family: Grandparents, parents and kids all had a blast. Make reservations ahead of time as capacity is limited. We all had a lot of fun. Unique and we highly recommend. read more

Had a great time with my family. Would highly recommend. The 6 mile run was the perfect length. Thanks again Daniel and Macy!

It was so different so much fun. We had a lot of laughs. Just wish it was longer.! The scenery was so beautiful and we totally enjoyed ourselves. read more

It was a cool idea but the actual experience was underwhelming and pretty boring I feel like there should've been more for the price it's $45 a person and I did the 3 mile one it was literally just peddling 1.5 miles, getting a short story then, going back. read more

Gary & Matt were great guides for this trip. I was surprised how the trip went by so fast. My wife and I enjoyed the ride and the information we gathered at the halfway point about the railroads and local history. We are telling all of our friends to book a tour. read more

Professional and friendly staff. I felt safe during the trip. Highly recommend for all ages. I am 82.

Quite expensive for what it is. Was a cool experience, but there isn't much to see along the path and it was pretty quick. Wouldn't do it again. read more

This was a fun ride thru a beautiful area. Would definitely do it again. The only negative comment would be that the ride isn't long enough! read more
