I'll start out by saying this, I've always used Yelp as a resource but had never taken the time to sit down and write a review...for anything...until now! (terrible, I know - sorry Yelp!!) I hope that with that simple confession it can assist me in properly conveying the following about my Pedicab Party experience...
WHAT A NIGHT!!! So unfortunately, we started the night a little late because unfortunately we were inadvertently running fashionably late. We were supposed to meet the Pedicab Party guys at 7 at CU29, but didn't get there until about 7:15, thankfully the guys didn't take any offense and instead welcomed and promised us with a very memorable night. They started out by splitting up our group (there were a total of five us out for a girls night) into two teams, gave us props to choose from, quickly making us the gold team versus the pink team. Oh yeah, teams, two against three, and yes three of us fit comfortably in one pedi cab! Next came the scavenger hunt objectives, this is where originally I was a bit hesitant at the idea of doing a scavenger hunt for our girls night, wow, was I ever underestimating this crew. The objective was to cross of items off our list by taking pics of each of the "tasks" and uploading them to the Pedicab Party Instagram page, the team with the most amount of followers on our pics would win.
Our party was scheduled to last for two hours and in those two hours we'd get four bar stops and photo opps along the way. We went from Star Bar to the Willie Nelson statue to Aussie's, across the bridge where we got an amazing screenshot of downtown from the lake, to Container Bar and ending our night at Garage Bar. All the while we're dying of laughter trying to cross things off our scavenger hunt list. Never had I ever been serenaded by a stranger just to try to win a game or hop off a pedicab to quickly take a picture with a guy in a suit...only to realize after the fact he was definitely not wearing a suit. Seriously had anyone told me all of this was just the tip of the iceberg with the Pedicab crew I would have thought they were exaggerating.
But it's not, there is no exaggeration at all. What we signed up for was a unique girls night out, what we ended up with was an EPIC downtown Austin tour by pedicab. Something I had never done before and yet CANNOT WAIT to sign up and do it all over again!!!
I can't believe I haven't mentioned our "drivers" yet, Will and Taylor ABSOLUTELY helped MAKE OUR NIGHT! They are hilariously charismatic (can we make that a new category?) and kept us laughing with their dance moves, choice of music and overall conversation. By the time we made it to Container Bar we actually invited them in to hang out with us for a bit! By the way, loved that because we were with Pedicab Party we got some great drink specials at some of the bars.
I'm 35 years old, an Austin native and can confidently say our Pedicab Party was by far one of the top ten nights ever! read more
