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.

Ready to ride for a cause? Join us under the oaks this May and help us support the Historic Savannah Foundation!

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.

Pedal Through History: The Ultimate Memorial Day Weekend in Savannah from a Veteran Owned Business

There is no place quite like Savannah, Georgia, when the Spanish moss is swaying in a late-May breeze and the city pauses to honor those who served. Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial kickoff to summer, and while the city is buzzing with energy, the best way to bypass the traffic and truly soak in the "Hostess City of the South" is on two wheels.

Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or just looking for a breezy way to see the sights, here is your guide to making the most of Memorial Day with Savannah Bike Tours.

Why a Bike Tour is the Perfect Memorial Day Activity

Savannah is famously flat and incredibly bike-friendly, making it accessible for everyone—from seasoned cyclists to those who haven’t been on a bike in years.

1. Beat the Holiday Traffic: Memorial Day brings crowds. While cars are stuck searching for parking near River Street, you’ll be gliding through the squares with ease.

2. Veteran-Owned & Local: We are a local, Veteran-Owned business. For us, Memorial Day isn't just a holiday; it’s a time to reflect on service and sacrifice. We take pride in sharing the military history that shaped this city.

3. Up-Close History: You can’t see the intricate details of Savannah’s ironwork or smell the blooming jasmine from inside a trolley. On a bike, you’re part of the scenery.

Memorial Day Highlights on Our Route

Our tours cover the heart of the Historic District, but during Memorial Day weekend, these spots take on a special significance:

• Tybee Island Bike Tour: Best known today for its beach vacations. Tybee was an active duty military post from the 1890s until the end of WWII called Fort Screven. Much of the post has integrated into modern Tybee Island. Hidden in plain sight.

• The Military Monuments in Savannah: From the American Revolution, to the Civil War, to modern conflicts, our tours navigate the sites that matter most in Historic Savannah on this day of remembrance.

• Bonaventure Cemetery: Take our Segway tour on Bonaventure to pay their respects at the historic gravesites of veterans dating back to the Civil War.

What’s Happening Around Town (May 2026)

If you’re visiting for the long weekend, here’s a snapshot of what to expect:

Memorial Day Bar Crawl Saturday, May 23 in North Historic District

Shabazz Seafood Festival Friday, May 22 in Metropolitan Savannah

River Street Celebrations All Weekend on Factors Walk & River St

Memorial Day Ceremonies Monday, May 25 in various Local Parks & Cemeteries

Pro-Tips for Your Holiday Ride

• Book Early: Memorial Day is one of our busiest weekends! Grab your spot online to ensure we have a bike (or an e-bike) ready for you.

• Hydrate: It’s Savannah in May—it’s going to be warm. We provide bottled water on all our tours to keep you cool.

• Stay for the Day: Ask about our what to do after the tour. Take the guided tour in the morning to learn the layout, then ask your guide what to do after your tour to continue exploring our amazing city or grab a late lunch at your own pace.

Note: All our tours are inclusive. We have trikes for those with balance concerns, e-bikes for those who want a boost, kids bikes of all sizes, and child carriers for the little ones. Everyone is welcome!

Ready to roll? This Memorial Day, skip the crowded sidewalks and join us for a ride through the most beautiful streets in America!

We look forward to riding with you!

Pedals with a Purpose: Marching Forward with Citizen Advocacy

At Savannah Bike Tours, we believe the best way to see our city is on two wheels—but the best way to honor our city is by supporting the people who make it a community.

This March, we are thrilled to announce that thanks to our riders, we’ve donated $1,220 to our monthly community partner: Chatham-Savannah Citizen Advocacy.

Why This Matters

For over 40 years, Chatham-Savannah Citizen Advocacy has been doing the quiet, essential work of relationship-building. They recruit and support local citizens to stand beside people with disabilities who may be lonely or excluded.

It isn’t just about "volunteering"; it’s about advocacy and friendship. Whether it’s helping someone navigate the healthcare system or simply sharing a cup of coffee at a local cafe, these partnerships ensure that every member of our community has a voice and a friend.

By the Numbers: March Impact

Every time you booked a tour this past month, a portion of your ticket went directly into this fund. Here’s the breakdown:

• Total Donated: $1,220

• Month: March 2026

• Goal: To support the recruitment and matching of new citizen advocates in the Savannah area.

"A community is only as strong as its most vulnerable members. We are incredibly proud to support an organization that builds bridges where they are needed most." — The Savannah Bike Tours Team

See the City, Support the City

Our Giving Gears program is our way of ensuring that the beauty of Savannah isn't just in its historic squares and Spanish moss, but in its heart. When you pedal with us, you’re doing more than just sightseeing—you’re contributing to the local organizations that keep Savannah thriving.

Missed out in March? Don't worry. We partner with a new local non-profit every single month. Check out our tour calendar to book your spot for April and help us reach our next donation goal!

Let’s keep the wheels turning for good!

The Best Way to See "The Azalea City" in Bloom

By late March and early April, Savannah is in peak "Spring Mode." While walking is lovely, you can only cover so much ground before the Southern humidity starts to kick in. A bike allows you to glide through historic squares and the entire length of Jones Street (often called the prettiest street in America) in a single morning or afternoon.

Easter Weekend Highlights:

• The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist: On Easter Sunday, the spires of the Cathedral are a sight to behold. Our tours often pause here, allowing you to appreciate the French Gothic architecture and the bustling energy of the holiday services.

• Forsyth Park Fountain: The park is the heart of Easter in Savannah. From families in their "Sunday Best" taking photos to the vibrant spring gardens, the fountain is the ultimate backdrop for your holiday weekend.

Tours for Every "Bunny"

We know holiday travel usually involves the whole family, which is why we’ve tailored our rides to be as inclusive as possible:

• The "Pedal Through History" Tour: Our classic 2-hour guided ride. It’s flat, easy, and covers the essential history from Oglethorpe’s plan to the "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" lore.

• Electric Bike Upgrades: Want to see it all without breaking a sweat? Our Glide Through History™ E-Bike tours are perfect for those who want to focus on the sights rather than the cardio.

• Family-Friendly Options: We have kids' bikes, tag-alongs, and even tricycles for those who aren't quite comfortable on two wheels.

Pro Tip: Easter is one of our busiest weekends of the year! We recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance to snag your preferred time slot.

After the Ride: Easter Brunch or Dinner

You can’t do Easter in Savannah without a proper meal. After your tour, you’ll be perfectly positioned to head to some of our favorites:

• The Collins Quarter: Located right near Wright Square (a stop on our tour), their lavender lattes and Swine Time Benny are legendary.

• Huey’s on the River: If you’re craving New Orleans-style beignets with a view of the Savannah River.

• 700 Drayton: Overlooking Forsyth Park, offering a sophisticated holiday atmosphere.

Ready to Hop to It?

Don't get stuck in holiday traffic or struggle to find a parking spot at every square. Let us show you the Hostess City the way she was meant to be seen—at a leisurely, breezy pace.

Don't Just Visit Savannah, Experience It: Why Your First Day Starts on Two Wheels

​You’ve arrived in Savannah! The Spanish moss is swaying, the historic squares are calling, and a certain undeniable charm is already wrapping its arms around you. But before you dive headfirst into the pralines and historical plaque readings, imagine this:

​Instead of aimlessly wandering, racking up steps, and squinting at maps, what if you could effortlessly glide through centuries of history, discover hidden gems, and get the ultimate lay of the land – all before lunch?

​That's the magic of starting your Savannah adventure with a bike tour!

​Why a bike tour on day one isn't just a good idea, it's the best idea:

​1. See More, Faster (and Smarter!)

​Savannah's Historic District is a pedestrian's paradise, but it's also sprawling. Imagine trying to cover 22 squares, dozens of historic homes, and winding cobblestone streets all on foot in one go. You'd be exhausted before you even hit River Street!

​Our bikes whisk you through the city’s highlights, from the majestic Forsyth Park to the architectural wonders of Monterey Square, without breaking a sweat. You’ll cover more ground in two hours than most do in an entire afternoon, giving you a comprehensive overview of the city's layout and must-see spots.

​2. Get Your Bearings (Literally!)

​One of the biggest struggles for first-time visitors is understanding Savannah's unique grid system and where everything fits. A bike tour acts as your perfect orientation. You'll learn the difference between Gaston Street and Jones Street, understand the flow of the squares, and discover key landmarks – all with a friendly local leading the way.

​By the time you dismount, you'll feel like a seasoned local, confident in navigating the city for the rest of your trip. No more endless map-staring!

​3. Uncover the Stories Behind the Beauty

​Savannah isn't just pretty; it's steeped in fascinating (and sometimes spooky!) history. Our expert guides don't just point out buildings; they bring them to life with captivating anecdotes, quirky facts, and the true stories that shaped this incredible city.

​You'll hear tales of generals, duels, secret gardens, and the vibrant personalities who called Savannah home. It's an immersive history lesson that’s anything but dull.

​4. Discover Your "Must-Revisit" Spots

​This is perhaps the biggest perk. As you cycle past charming boutiques, tempting cafes, intriguing museums, and picture-perfect squares, you’ll naturally gravitate towards places you want to explore further.

​"Oh, I want to come back to that antique shop!"

​"That little cafe looked amazing for lunch."

​"Let's spend more time relaxing in that specific square later."

​Your bike tour becomes your personalized itinerary planner, helping you prioritize where to dedicate your precious vacation time.

​5. Capture Those Iconic Savannah Moments

​Imagine gliding down a street canopied in Spanish moss, the sun dappling through the leaves, feeling the gentle breeze on your face. It's an experience that’s both invigorating and utterly charming. Your guide will even know the best spots for those iconic Savannah photos!

​Ready to make the most of your first day in Savannah? Ditch the walking shoes (for a few hours, anyway!) and hop on a bike. It’s not just a tour; it’s the best way to fall in love with Savannah, one pedal stroke at a time.

​Book your Savannah Bike Tour today and let us help you kickstart an unforgettable trip!

Pedaling with Purpose: How Your 2025 Tours Impacted Savannah

At Savannah Bike Tours, we believe the best way to see our beautiful city is on two wheels. But beyond the moss-draped oaks and cobblestone streets, our true passion lies in the community that makes Savannah so special.

That’s why we are thrilled to announce that thanks to our riders, 2025 was a landmark year for our giving program. ---

Making a Difference, One Mile at a Time

We don't just ride through these neighborhoods; we invest in them. Every time you book a tour with us, a portion of that experience goes right back into local pockets that need it most.

In 2025, Savannah Bike Tours donated a total of $8,104 to a diverse group of non-profits working tirelessly across the Hostess City.

Our 2025 Beneficiaries

We carefully select organizations that reflect the spirit, history, and future of Savannah and the surrounding Lowcountry. This year’s donations supported:

• Youth & Empowerment: Girls on the Run of South Georgia, Frank Callen Boys and Girls Club, and Greenbriar Children’s Center.

• Health & Advocacy: CURE Childhood Cancer, Tharros Place, and Chatham County Citizen Advocacy.

• Community Support: Savannah Widows Society, Catholic Charities, and First City Pride Center.

• Safety & Heritage: Lodge 7 Fraternal Order of Police and the Historic Savannah Foundation.

• Environment & Animals: Tybee Island Marine Science Center and Grr Pet Rescue.

Why We Give

Savannah isn't just a backdrop for our tours—it's our home. Whether it's preserving the architecture that makes our routes so scenic via the Historic Savannah Foundation or protecting our coastal ecosystem with the Tybee Island Marine Science Center, we want to ensure Savannah remains vibrant for generations of cyclists to come.

"Giving back is the heart of our business. Seeing the direct impact these organizations have on our neighbors makes every pedal stroke worth it."

Thank You for Riding with Us

This $8,104 donation belongs to you—our guests. By choosing a local bike tour, you’ve helped provide shelter for children, support for cancer research, and protection for our local history.

As we roll through 2026, we’re looking forward to even bigger goals and more miles of impact. We can’t wait to see you on the trails!

Pedal Through Presidential History: A President’s Day Tour of Savannah

While most people think of President’s Day as a great time for a long weekend or a mattress sale, here in Savannah, we think of it as the perfect excuse to hop on two wheels and explore the "Hostess City’s" deep connections to the Oval Office.

From the first commander-in-chief to modern-day visits, Savannah has been a favorite stop for world leaders for centuries. This February, skip the car and see the city the way it was meant to be seen—with the wind in your hair and history around every corner.

Where Washington Slept (and Danced!)

In 1791, George Washington embarked on his famous "Southern Tour." Savannah pulled out all the stops for the first President, greeting him with a festive water parade.

• The Bike Stop: Pedal over to Johnson Square to see Christ Church, where Washington attended Sunday service.

• Pro-tip: While you're in the neighborhood, look for the cannons on Bay Street known as “George and Martha.” Washington gifted them to the city after his visit!

The Ultimate Christmas Gift

One of the most famous presidential connections to Savannah didn't even involve a visit. In December 1864, Union General William T. Sherman reached the city during his March to the Sea. Spared from destruction because of its beauty, Sherman sent a famous telegram to Abraham Lincoln offering him the City of Savannah as a "Christmas gift."

• The Bike Stop: Cruise past the Green-Meldrim House on Madison Square, which served as Sherman’s headquarters during the occupation.

A Toast on a Bar Top?

Savannah is known for its "open container" laws, but one president took local spirit to a legendary level. In the 1970s, Georgia’s own Jimmy Carter reportedly stood atop the bar at Pinkie Masters to announce his candidacy for president.

• The Bike Stop: Our tours often glide right past this iconic dive bar on Drayton Street. It’s a must-see for anyone who appreciates a little grassroots political grit.

Taft’s Grand Banquet

When William Howard Taft visited in 1909, the city held a banquet so massive it required 20 white doves to be released behind him. He spent "Taft Day" parading through the streets and watching acrobats in Forsyth Park.

• The Bike Stop: We always spend time at the Forsyth Park fountain. It’s the perfect spot to park the bikes, grab a photo, and imagine the 350-pound President enjoying the Savannah sunshine.

Why Celebrate President’s Day on a Bike?

Savannah’s Historic District is a grid of 22 lush squares, making it one of the most bike-friendly cities in America. On a bike, you can cover more ground than a walking tour but still get closer to the architecture than you ever could in a trolley.

Join us this President’s Day weekend! Whether you’re a history buff or just looking for a beautiful way to spend a Monday off, our guided tours bring these stories to life.

Pedal Into 2026: Why a Bike Tour is Savannah’s Best New Year’s Tradition

As the clock winds down on 2025, Savannah transforms. The humid summer heat is a distant memory, replaced by a crisp coastal breeze and the soft glow of holiday lights reflecting off the cobblestones. While many head straight for the crowded bars of River Street, there is a better way to experience the magic of the Hostess City this New Year: on two wheels.

​Whether you’re a local looking for a fresh perspective or a visitor wanting to see it all before the midnight fireworks, here is why a bike tour should be at the top of your New Year’s resolution list.

​1. Beat the NYE Crowds

​New Year’s Eve in Savannah is legendary, but navigating the Historic District by car or on foot can be a challenge once the festivities begin.

​Park and Pedal: Skip the parking garage headaches.

​Go Further: On a bike, you can effortlessly glide from the quiet, moss-draped beauty of Monterey Square to the bustling energy of City Market in minutes.

​The Best Views: Our guides know the "secret" routes that steer clear of the heavy foot traffic, giving you a serene front-row seat to the city’s stunning architecture.

​2. A "Fresh Air" Resolution

​Forget the stuffy gym! Start your year with the wind in your face and a bit of light exercise. Savannah is famously flat, making our tours a "leisurely roll" rather than a workout. It’s the perfect way to burn off a few of those holiday calories while taking in the sights of Forsyth Park and the iconic fountain.

​3. See the "Lit-Up" Squares

​The holiday spirit doesn't end on December 25th. Many of Savannah's historic homes and 22 squares remain decked out in greenery, ribbons, and twinkling lights through the first week of January. Seeing the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist or the Olde Pink House illuminated against the winter twilight is an experience you just can't get from inside a trolley.

​4. Expert Tips for Your Night Out

​One of the best perks of a New Year's tour? Local intel. Our guides are Savannah experts who can give you the "inside scoop" on:

​The best spots to watch the Midnight Fireworks on the Waterfront.

​Where to find the best New Year’s Day brunch (and the shortest wait times).

​Hidden gems for a cozy post-ride cocoa or a celebratory cocktail.

​New Year’s Riding Tips:

​Layer Up! Savannah winters are mild, but the breeze can be chilly. Wear a light jacket and gloves!

​Book Early! New Year’s week is one of our busiest seasons. Don't wait until the last minute to grab your handlebars.

​Bring a Camera! The "Golden Hour" light in January is spectacular for photos in the squares.

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!

Roll, Don't Stroll: Why a Bike Tour is the BEST Way to Experience Savannah

​The Spanish moss is swaying, the azaleas are blooming, and Savannah is calling your name!

​As you plan your trip to Georgia’s First City, you'll see a lot of options for exploring our beautiful Historic District—from trolleys to ghost tours. But when it comes to truly experiencing Savannah, many visitors default to a walking tour.

​We're here to tell you that while a leisurely stroll is nice, a guided bike tour is the superior way to unlock the true magic of Savannah.

​Here at Savannah Bike Tours, we've put together the top four reasons why you should ditch the sore feet and hop on one of our comfortable bikes for an adventure you’ll never forget.

1. Cover More Ground, See More City (Without the Fatigue!)

​Savannah's Historic District is large, encompassing 22 historic squares and countless architectural gems. On a walking tour, you're limited to a few blocks, often missing out on stunning side streets and the full scope of our city's design.

​The Bike Tour Advantage…

​Maximum Efficiency: In a two-hour bike tour, you can glide past more stunning mansions, explore more historic squares, and cover more miles than you could in an entire morning of walking. You’ll see the famous Forsyth Park fountain and the quieter, charming residential areas beyond.

​Less Effort, More Fun: Savannah is beautifully flat, making for an easy, leisurely ride. You’ll enjoy the cooling breeze and the light activity, leaving you refreshed and ready for your evening, not exhausted and aching from a long march.

​2. Go Beyond the Beaten Path: Uncover the Hidden Corners

​Walking tours, by necessity, stick to the most congested, well-trodden sidewalks. While you’ll see the main landmarks, you’re missing the soul of Savannah that lies just around the corner.

​The Bike Tour Advantage…

​Immersive Exploration: Our bike routes are specifically designed to leave the noisy, public roads behind. We weave through the quiet, fume-free, lesser-known streets that connect the famous squares, offering a glimpse into authentic local life that most tourists never see.

​Up-Close & Personal: On a bike, you’re not viewing the city from behind a window or just passing by. We stop inside the squares, allowing you to dismount, feel the cool air beneath the moss-draped oaks, and appreciate the intricate details of the centuries-old architecture. You become part of the scenery, not just an observer.

3. Breathe Deep and Connect to the Environment

​There's a fundamental difference between moving through a city and moving with it. A bike tour immerses you directly into Savannah’s environment in a healthy, refreshing way.

​The Bike Tour Advantage…

​Active and Green: Savannah’s beauty is best appreciated with the fresh air on your face. You get to breathe in the sweet scent of magnolias and jasmine, feel the gentle temperature changes beneath the canopy of live oaks, and enjoy a quiet, eco-friendly experience.

​An Unfiltered Experience: You hear the gentle sound of the Spanish moss rustling, the distant church bells, and the stories from your guide—not the loud, scripted narration of a bus tour or the constant noise of traffic. It is an active, quiet, and refreshing connection to the city.

​4. Your Guide is Your Rolling Concierge (Not a Robot)

​Walking tours often cater to large groups, which can make a personal connection with your guide difficult. A bike tour fosters a more intimate and customizable experience.

​The Bike Tour Advantage…

​Personal Recommendations: Our small-group bike tours allow for genuine interaction. You can ask more questions and chat about local life. Your knowledgeable, local guide is not just delivering a history lesson—they are your Rolling Concierge! By the time the tour is over, you'll have all the insider recommendations on the best places to eat, drink, shop, and continue your Savannah adventure.

​A Full Day of Freedom: Many of our tours include the best perk of all: you get to keep your high-quality cruiser or hybrid bike for the entire day after the tour! Revisit a favorite square, explore a new neighborhood at your own pace, or cruise to lunch—all for one price.

A Cyclist's Guide to Savannah's Most Photogenic Spots (and the History Behind Them)

Savannah is a city that begs to be photographed. Every cobblestone, every wrought-iron balcony, and every draping strand of Spanish moss seems perfectly placed for a postcard-worthy shot. While you could walk yourself ragged trying to capture it all, there’s a better, breezier way to frame your memories: by bike!

​A bike tour not only allows you to cover more ground efficiently but also lets you pause, explore, and truly soak in the beauty that often hides just around the corner. So, grab your your camera, because here are some of Savannah’s most stunning photo opportunities, complete with a dash of history to enrich your view.

​1. The Iconic Forsyth Park Fountain: A Parisian Dream in the Heart of Savannah

Your bike tour will undoubtedly include Forsyth Park, and for good reason! Its northern end is dominated by the magnificent cast-iron fountain, often compared to the fountains found in Paris's Place de la Concorde. Installed in 1858, it wasn't just for beauty; it was originally connected to the city's waterworks, providing fresh water to the burgeoning city.

​Photo Tip: Early morning light (or golden hour before sunset) makes the water sparkle and casts long, dramatic shadows from the surrounding live oaks. Try capturing the fountain framed by the grand trees, or get creative with reflections in its basin.

​2. Spanish Moss Tunnels: Nature's Own Gothic Archways

Is there anything more quintessentially Savannah than streets canopied by ancient live oaks dripping with Spanish moss? These aren't just picturesque; they tell a story of time. The moss itself isn't a parasite but an epiphyte, drawing nutrients from the air. The trees, some hundreds of years old, bore witness to everything from colonial beginnings to the Civil War's "March to the Sea."

​Photo Tip: Look for streets where the tree canopies meet overhead, creating a natural tunnel. Jones Street and parts of Bull Street are famous for this. A wide-angle shot looking down the street, especially with a cyclist pedaling through, truly captures the magic.

​3. River Street & the Historic Waterfront: Cobblestones and Cotton Kings

Pedaling while overlooking River Street is like cycling back in time. The famous uneven cobblestones were ballast stones from ships arriving from Europe, unloaded to make room for lucrative cotton exports. The multi-story brick buildings, once cotton warehouses, now house shops and restaurants, but their historic facades retain the gritty charm of Savannah's mercantile past.

​Photo Tip: Capture the juxtaposition of old and new: the historic buildings against modern cargo ships passing on the Savannah River. A low-angle shot emphasizing the unique cobblestones adds texture and depth. Don't miss the Waving Girl statue, a tribute to Florence Martus, who reputedly waved at every ship entering Savannah's port for 44 years.

​4. The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist: Grandeur and Grace

No bike tour of Savannah would be complete without marveling at the towering spires of the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist. Consecrated in 1876, rebuilt after a devastating fire in 1898, it stands as a testament to faith and architectural resilience. Its French Gothic architecture, stunning stained-glass windows, and soaring ceilings are simply breathtaking.

​Photo Tip: From Lafayette Square, you can get a fantastic full view of the exterior, especially striking at dusk when the church is illuminated. If your tour allows for a quick peek inside (check hours!), the interior is equally magnificent for detail shots of the altar and windows.

​5. Architectural Gems: Discovering Savannah's Unique Homes

Savannah’s Historic District boasts an incredible array of 18th and 19th-century architecture, from grand mansions to charming townhouses. As you cycle, you'll encounter examples of Regency, Gothic Revival, Italianate, and Greek Revival styles. Each building has a story, often connected to the city's wealthy cotton factors, merchants, and planters.

​Photo Tip: Don't just look at the grandest homes. Notice the intricate details: the ironwork on the balconies, the brightly painted doors, the gas lamps, and the small, hidden gardens. A bike allows you to quickly and quietly find these hidden treasures off the main tourist paths.

​Ready to Roll and Capture Savannah's Charm?

​A Savannah bike tour offers not just a journey through history, but a mobile canvas for your photography. It connects you intimately with the city's beauty, allowing you to breathe in the atmosphere and frame your perfect shot at every turn.
