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.

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!

Ready to Glide?

Whether you want a classic 2-Hour Historic Tour, a modern Electric Bike experience, or a spine-tingling Haunted Night Tour, we are ready to show you the side of Savannah that most people miss!

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!

Pedaling with Purpose: Celebrating Our February Partner, CURE Childhood Cancer

At Savannah Bike Tours, we believe the best way to experience the "Hostess City" is on two wheels—but the best way to live in it is by giving back. As we pedal through the moss-draped squares and historic corridors of Savannah, we are constantly reminded that our community is what truly makes this city beautiful.

That’s why we are so proud to announce that, thanks to our riders, we donated $551 to our February donation partner: CURE Childhood Cancer.

Why CURE Childhood Cancer?

For families facing the unimaginable reality of a pediatric cancer diagnosis, CURE is more than just an organization—it is a lifeline. Based right here in Georgia, CURE focuses on a two-part mission that resonates deeply with us:

• Life-Saving Research: They are leaders in "Precision Medicine," funding targeted research that treats a child’s specific genetic makeup rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. This leads to more effective treatments and fewer long-term side effects for survivors.

• Family Support: Beyond the lab, CURE provides immediate assistance to families. From providing warm meals in the hospital to helping with emergency financial needs and professional counseling, they ensure that no family walks this difficult path alone.

Your Miles, Your Impact

This donation of $551 was made possible by every person who booked a tour with us this past month. Whether you joined us for a "Historic District Tour" or rode the beach on our "Tybee Tour," a portion of your ticket went directly to supporting these children and their families.

In a city known for its history, we are honored to help CURE write a brighter future for the kids in our community.

What’s Next?

We aren’t stopping here! Savannah Bike Tours is committed to "Pedaling with Purpose" all year long. Every month, we select a new local partner to support, ensuring that as our wheels turn, our community moves forward too. March’s donation partner is Chatham County Citizen Advocacy.

Pedaling with Purpose: Supporting the Savannah Jaguars!

At Savannah Bike Tours, we believe the best way to experience our beautiful city is on two wheels—but the best way to live in it is by giving back to the community that makes Savannah so special.

We are thrilled to announce that our January 2026 Donation Partner was the Savannah Jaguars Youth Baseball team!

Small Gears, Big Impact

Thanks to everyone who joined us for a ride through the Hostess City last month, we were able to donate $327 to these young athletes.

The Savannah Jaguars aren’t just about home runs and double plays; they are about teaching local youth the value of teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship. These funds will go directly toward helping the team cover costs for equipment, uniforms, and travel fees, ensuring that every kid has a chance to step up to the plate.

"Community isn't just a place where you live; it's a spirit of mutual support. We are honored to help the Jaguars keep the local baseball tradition alive and well in Savannah."

Why We Give

Every month, a portion of our tour proceeds is dedicated to a local non-profit or community group. We know that Savannah is more than just historic squares and Spanish moss—it’s the people and the organizations that keep our local culture thriving.

A huge thank you to our riders! By choosing to explore Savannah’s history with us, you’re helping us invest in Savannah’s future!

Pedaling with Purpose: Our 2026 Community Commitment

At Savannah Bike Tours, we believe that the best way to see our city is from the seat of a bicycle. It’s quiet, eco-friendly, and lets you truly breathe in the history of the "Hostess City." But as we pedal through these historic squares and moss-draped streets, we’re reminded that being a part of Savannah means more than just showing it off—it means showing up for the people who live here.

While we continue our tradition of monthly donation partners, we are thrilled to announce a new additional layer of support for 2026. This year, we’ve committed to donating $600 annually each to four incredible local charities that are doing the hard work of making Savannah a stronger, safer, and more compassionate home for everyone.

Meet Our 2026 FIXED Partners

Each of these organizations addresses a vital need in our community. Here’s a little bit about why we’ve chosen to support them:

• Tharros Place Named after the Greek word for "courage," Tharros Place provides a safe haven and residential care for adolescent survivors of human trafficking. Their trauma-informed approach helps young girls navigate their journey toward healing and a brighter future.

• Shelter from the Rain This wonderful non-profit empowers single mothers by providing everything from baby supplies and household items to mental health resources and mentorship. They are a literal "shelter" for moms navigating the storms of life, helping them reach economic independence.

• Catholic Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist An icon of the Savannah skyline, the Cathedral is more than just a breathtaking architectural landmark. Their outreach programs, including the St. Vincent de Paul Society and various food distribution efforts, provide a lifeline to local families in need of food and emergency assistance.

• Union Mission For nearly 90 years, Union Mission has been on the front lines of the fight against homelessness in Savannah. From emergency housing and hot meals at their Day Center to behavioral health services, they provide the tools individuals need to rebuild their lives.

Why Your Tour Matters

When you book a tour with us, you’re choosing a "Meaningful Travel" experience. Because we are locally owned and operated, your support stays right here in Chatham County. Your presence helps us maintain these annual commitments, ensuring that as our business grows, our impact on Savannah grows with it.

We invite you to join us on the tours this year. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, know that every mile we pedal together helps fuel the incredible work of these four organizations and our monthly donation partners.

Making a Difference, One Mile at a Time

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