Savannah on Two Wheels: Why South American Travelers (and Pulzo!) Are Falling for Our Historic Streets

There is nothing quite like the magic of introducing someone to Savannah for the very first time. The moss-draped oaks, the historic squares, the gentle coastal breeze—it’s a city built to be savored slowly. And lately, we’ve noticed a wonderful trend: more and more of those first-time smiles are coming from visitors traveling all the way from South America!

Savannah’s charm is officially going global, and we are absolutely thrilled to be at the center of the excitement.

Pulzo Puts Savannah Bike Tours in the Spotlight

On May 21, 2026, major South American media outlet Pulzo published a fantastic feature highlighting Savannah as a must-visit destination. But the real icing on the cake? Their massive YouTube channel—boasting over 650,000 subscribers—featured a gorgeous video segment all about our beautiful city, and Savannah Bike Tours got a starring role!

Seeing our bright cruiser bikes and historic routes shared with hundreds of thousands of viewers across South America was an incredible honor. It turns out that the open-air, active, and intimate experience of a bike tour translates perfectly in any language.

Why South American Travelers are Choosing Savannah

So, what is drawing our new friends from Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, and beyond to the Hostess City of the South?

• History You Can Feel: Unlike modern metropolis destinations, Savannah offers deep-rooted history, stunning architecture, and a distinct cultural flavor that feels like stepping into a storybook.

• The Perfect Climate: Our warm, welcoming weather makes for an ideal escape, especially for those looking to swap seasons or enjoy a classic coastal Georgia spring and summer.

• A Brisk, Authentic Experience: South American travelers love authentic local experiences. Rolling through the squares on a bike allows visitors to cover more ground than a walking tour, while still getting up close and personal with the city's hidden gems in a way a tour bus never could.

Skip the Tie: Why a Savannah Bike Tour is the Ultimate Father’s Day Gift

Let’s be honest for a second: Dad does not need another tie. He probably doesn’t need another "World’s Okayest Father" coffee mug, either. What he actually wants is to spend some quality time together, out in the sunshine, doing something that doesn't feel like a chore.

If you are trying to figure out how to celebrate Father’s Day in Savannah this year, we have a suggestion that beats sitting in a crowded restaurant waiting for a table: get him out on two wheels.

Here is why a guided ride with Savannah Bike Tours is the undisputed champion of Father’s Day gifts.

1. Cruising the "Secret Alleys" (Where Trolleys Can't Fit)

If Dad loves history, architecture, or just exploring, he’s going to love our routes. While the massive tour trolleys and buses are stuck on the loud, crowded main thoroughfares, our bikes glide right into Savannah’s quiet residential lanes and historic alleys. We’ll show him the hidden courtyard entrances, the secret gardens, and the stunning historic details you completely miss from a car window. It's the real Savannah—up close and personal.

2. Ditch the Slow Walking, Keep the Easy Pace

Walking tours are great, but in June, the Georgia heat starts making its presence known. Our bike tours offer the perfect compromise. You get the open-air, intimate feel of a walking tour, but the natural breeze from pedaling keeps everyone cool. Plus, we cover way more ground in two hours than you ever could on foot—from the iconic fountain at Forsyth Park to the cobblestones of Jones Street—without wiping Dad out.

3. Great for the Whole Crew (or Just You and Dad)

Whether it's just you and your dad catching up, or the whole extended family coming along, riding together is an instant icebreaker. Our tours are laid back, low-stress, and designed for all fitness levels. Savannah is flat as a pancake, and traffic moves at a famously mellow "Slow-vannah" pace. It’s pure, easy riding.

4. Post-Ride Local Intel

Our guides don't just know their 1733 history; they know where the best cold drafts, sweet tea, and local barbecue are hiding. By the end of the tour, you’ll have a personalized itinerary of local, dad-approved spots to grab lunch or a drink right after we park the bikes.

Ready to roll? Spots fill up quickly for Father's Day weekend. Head over to our booking page to secure your standard bikes or upgraded e-bikes, and let’s make this a Father’s Day he actually talks about next year!

Beat the Heat, Catch the Breeze: Why a Bike Tour is Savannah’s Ultimate Summer Adventure

Summer in the Hostess City is pure magic. The Spanish moss catches the golden afternoon light, the jasmine is in full bloom, and the city slows down to that iconic, relaxed "Slow-vannah" pace.

But let’s be real for a second: summer in Georgia also brings some serious heat.

If you are trying to figure out how to explore our beautiful Historic District without melting on a walking tour or feeling trapped behind the window of a crowded, noisy trolley, that does not have A/C, we have the ultimate local secret: you need to get on two wheels!

Here is why a ride with Savannah Bike Tours is the absolute best thing to do in Savannah this summer.

1. You Make Your Own Breeze

When the thermometer climbs, walking from square to square can feel like a marathon. But when you are cruising down Jones Street (rightfully called the prettiest street in America) on a bicycle, you are instantly creating your own refreshing breeze. You get to stay active, enjoy the fresh air, and cover three times as much ground as a walking tour—all while staying completely cool.

2. The "Secret Alley" Advantage

The big tour trolleys and buses are great for waving hello from afar, but they are physically restricted to the main thoroughfares. Savannah's true summer charm is hidden away in our quiet residential lanes, secret garden views, and narrow alleys where the Spanish moss hangs low. On our bikes, we glide right past the traffic and into the peaceful, shady corners of the city where locals sip iced coffee on their stoops.

3. Ditch the Script (and the Sweat) on an E-Bike

Want the breeze without the burn? Our Glide Through History™ Electric Bike Tour is the ultimate summer hack. You get all the incredible history, local lore, and stunning architecture, but with a customizable electric boost. You can fly up the occasional small incline and cruise through the historic streets effortlessly without breaking a sweat.

4. We’ve Quite Literally Got You Covered

We know that packing for a summer day out can be a hassle. That’s why we operate with a strict "no gatekeeping, no hidden fees" policy. When you book a tour with us, we supply absolutely everything you need to stay safe and comfortable at no extra charge:

• Chilled water to keep you hydrated

• Sunscreen and bug spray

• Helmets and comfortable bikes

• Even rain ponchos (just in case one of those classic, quick afternoon Southern showers rolls through!)

5. Tour with a Purpose

We aren't just tour guides; we are your neighbors. Savannah Bike Tours is locally grown and veteran-owned. Our storytelling is completely unscripted, deeply authentic, and full of local insight. Plus, we love this city deeply, which is why a portion of every single ticket sale is donated directly back to local Savannah charities.

Ready to Roll This Summer?

Whether you want to pedal through 300 years of history on our classic Pedal Through History® Tour, cruise effortlessly on an E-Bike, or even take a 25-minute drive out to catch the ocean air on our Tybee Island Historical Tour, we have a spot on the frame waiting for you.

Spaces fill up fast during the sunny summer months, so don't wait until you're melting on the sidewalk!

Biking for a Cause: Celebrating Our Partnership with the FOP and Looking Ahead to May

At Savannah Bike Tours, we believe that the best way to honor our city’s history is by supporting the people who protect its future. Every month, we select a local organization to receive a portion of our tour proceeds, allowing our guests to contribute to the Savannah community simply by hopping on a bike.

Today, we are thrilled to share the results of our April partnership and introduce our featured organization for May!

April Wrap-Up: Supporting Our Local Heroes

Throughout the month of April, a portion of every ticket sold was dedicated to the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Mobley-Giles-Willis Lodge #7.

This local lodge does incredible work supporting our law enforcement officers and their families, fostering community relations, and ensuring that those who wear the badge have a strong support system right here in Savannah.

The Results Are In! Thanks to everyone who joined us for a ride last month, we are proud to announce a total donation of:

$1,391

These funds go directly toward the Lodge’s mission of community service and member support. We want to extend a massive "Thank You" to our April guests—you didn't just see the sights; you made a tangible difference for Savannah's finest.

Looking Ahead: May is for Preservation

As we roll into May, we are shifting our focus to the very streets and structures that make our tours possible. We are excited to announce that our May donation partner is the Historic Savannah Foundation (HSF).

The HSF has been the guardian of Savannah’s architectural soul since 1955. From saving the Davenport House to revitalizing entire neighborhoods, their work ensures that the "Museum Without Walls" we enjoy today remains intact for generations to come.

How You Can Help This Month:

• Book a Tour: A portion of your booking fee throughout May goes directly to the HSF.

• Spread the Word: Tell your friends and family that their Mother’s Day, Memorial Day. or graduation weekend bike tour helps preserve Savannah’s historic skyline.

• Learn the History: Our guides often highlight specific HSF-saved sites during our rides!

Pedaling with Purpose

Whether we’re supporting the officers of Lodge #7 or the preservationists at HSF, our goal remains the same: to give back to the city we love.

Pedal Through History: Why a Savannah Bike Tour is the Ultimate Mother’s Day Treat

Forget the standard brunch wait times and the predictable bouquet of flowers. This Mother’s Day, give Mom something she’ll actually remember: the wind in her hair, the scent of blooming jasmine, and a leisurely ride through the most beautiful city in the South.

Whether she’s a history buff, a nature lover, or just someone who appreciates a good photo op, a Savannah Bike Tour is the perfect way to celebrate. Here’s why a two-wheeled adventure beats a crowded restaurant every time.

1. Skip the Crowds, Keep the Charm

Mother’s Day is one of the busiest days of the year for Savannah’s dining scene. Instead of spending two hours in a lobby waiting for a table, you could be gliding through the 22 historic squares. Our tours offer a serene escape from the holiday hustle, allowing you to soak in the Spanish moss and cobblestone charm at a relaxed pace.

2. Low Effort, High Reward

Don't worry—we aren't training for the Tour de France! Savannah is famously flat, making it one of the most bike-friendly cities in the country. Our guided tours are designed to be easy-going and accessible for all fitness levels. It’s enough activity to feel refreshed, but gentle enough that Mom can still wear her favorite sundress.

3. See More in Less Time

Walking the Historic District is lovely, but you can only cover so much ground on foot. On a bike, you’ll see:

• The Forsyth Park Fountain: The iconic centerpiece of the city.

• Jones Street: Often called the prettiest street in America.

• Hidden Gems: Secret gardens and architectural details you’d likely miss from a car window.

Make a Day of It: The Perfect Itinerary

Want to be the "favorite child" this year? Pair your bike tour with these local stops:

Picnic in Forsyth Park: Grab sandwiches from a local deli and relax under the oaks.

Shopping on Broughton St: Let Mom pick out a little something special.

Riverside Rooftop Drinks: Toast to Mom with a view of the Savannah River.

5 Reasons a Savannah Bike Tour is the Ultimate Way to “Pedal Through History”

Savannah is a city built for slowing down. While the trolleys rumble past the moss-draped oaks, and the walking tours brave the humidity, there is a "Goldilocks" way to see the Hostess City: on two wheels.

At Savannah Bike Tours, we don’t just show you the sights; we invite you to live them. If you’re deciding how to spend your morning in the Historic District, here is why a bike tour is the undisputed champion of Savannah sightseeing.

1. The "Secret Alley" Advantage

Savannah’s beauty isn't just in the 22 famous squares; it’s in the quiet, residential lanes and hidden courtyard entrances where the big trolleys simply can't fit. While other tours are restricted to main thoroughfares, our routes are designed to glide through the lesser-known gems. You’ll see the real Savannah—the one where locals sip coffee on their stoops and the Spanish moss hangs just a little lower.

2. Your "Rolling Concierge"

We believe a tour guide should be more than a historian; they should be your local best friend. Every one of our guides is a city-licensed expert who treats the end of the tour as the beginning of your trip. We call it the “Rolling Concierge” service.

Need to know which coffee shop has the best lavender latte? Or which pub has the shortest line on a Friday night? We’ve got the inside track. While our competition focuses on high-volume rentals, we focus on high-quality connections.

3. Comfort That Rivals Your Living Room

Let’s talk about the gear. We know that a bike ride is only as good as the seat you’re sitting on. Our 1-speed pedal cruisers are built for one thing: maximum comfort. Our seats are famously "worth more than the bike itself," ensuring that even after two hours of pedaling, you’re ready for a long lunch, not a nap.

4. Small Groups, Big Stories

There is a major difference between being "Customer #45" and being a guest in our group. By keeping our tours intimate, we allow for a conversational pace. You can ask questions, pause for that perfect photo shot in front of the Forsyth Fountain, and actually hear the stories without the distortion of a megaphone.

5. Pedal, Then Explore

One of the best perks of riding with us? The adventure doesn't have to end when the stories do. Our guides will give you recommendations on the best places to go, things to do, and eat or drink after the tour. This allows you to take all those "insider tips" your guide just gave you and head straight to that hidden cafe, Jones Street photo op, or recommended house museum, at your own pace.

Savannah Bike Tours vs. The Rest: What’s the Difference?

When looking for bike tours in Savannah, GA, you’ll likely see options. While others are a fellow local business, we believe our "Pedal Through History®" philosophy offers a different flavor of Southern hospitality. For example, we know the difference between a good tour and the best experience of your entire trip is in every little detail. Which is why, in addition to amazing seats, bikes, and guides. We provide water, helmets, sunscreen, bug spray, ponchos, and even gloves on the rare cold winter days! Oh, and of course, Savannah Bike Tours is the only Veteran-Owned local Savannah bike tour company in Savannah. And we make significant donations to local charity each month!
