Rolling Through History: Honoring Veterans on a Savannah Bike Tour

​On Veterans Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who have served our country. Here in Savannah, where history is literally built into the cobblestone streets, this day holds a special significance. At Savannah Bike Tours, we are proud to be a Veteran-Owned business and are deeply thankful for the service and sacrifice of all our veterans. Including, not just the owner, but many of our guides as well.

​A City Shaped by Service

​Savannah's rich, layered history is inextricably linked with the military. As you cycle through our famous historic district with us, you're not just seeing beautiful squares and gorgeous architecture—you're riding through sites tied to the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the military traditions that continue today.

​Our tours glide past monuments and historic markers that tell the story of Georgia's role in defending our nation.

​We explore the urban design of our squares, many of which have hosted troops and been focal points for community events honoring our service members for centuries.

​You'll see where modern-day Savannah, a city with a strong connection to nearby military bases like Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield, carries on this legacy.

​There is no better way to truly appreciate the past than to slow down and experience it up close. A bike tour allows you to feel the cool breeze under the historic oaks, hear the church bells chime, and take in the powerful monuments that pay tribute to our heroes.

​Special Appreciation for Our Veterans

​As a token of our sincere gratitude, we offer a 10% discount on all our tours for active military and veterans. It’s a small way for us to say "thank you for your service" and invite you to explore the city you helped protect.

​This Veterans Day, and every day, we invite you to join us for a leisurely, two-hour ride. Let our expert local guides share the stories of Savannah's past and present, offering a fresh perspective on this unforgettable city.

​ Happy Veterans Day from the Savannah Bike Tours Team!

​We encourage you to honor a veteran in your life and support the many organizations in our community that serve them. Whether you're a local or a visitor, we look forward to welcoming you for a unique, historical cycling adventure!
