Spokes & Stewardship: Celebrating Our June Donation to Tybee Island Marine Science Center!

At Savannah Bike Tours, we love exploring the historic streets, the moss-draped oak canopies, and the vibrant beauty of our city from the best seat in town—a bicycle saddle. But as much as we love Savannah’s rich history and architecture, we are equally passionate about protecting the incredible coastal ecosystem that surrounds us.

That’s why we are thrilled to announce that our June Monthly Donation Partner is the Tybee Island Marine Science Center, and thanks to our amazing riders, we’ve donated $444 to support their mission!

Why the Tybee Island Marine Science Center Matters

Just a short drive (or a very ambitious bike ride!) down the road from our historic district lies Tybee Island, home to some of the most diverse and fragile marine life in Georgia. The Tybee Island Marine Science Center does incredible work right on North Beach, focusing on:

• Conservation & Research: From monitoring loggerhead sea turtle nesting sites to caring for marine life in their coastal galleries.

• Hands-on Education: Hosting year-round programs, "Walks, Talks, and Treks," and touch tanks that teach kids and adults alike how to be responsible stewards of our beaches and oceans.

• Community Impact: Giving locals and visitors a deeper appreciation for the salt marshes, tidal zones, and marine creatures that make Coastal Georgia so unique.

Our $444 donation goes directly toward helping them maintain their tanks, fund educational programs, and continue their critical conservation efforts. Every time you book a tour with us, you're helping fuel these community contributions!

Did You Know? The Georgia coast has some of the most vital salt marshes in the country, acting as a natural nursery for marine life and a buffer against storms. Protecting them starts with education!

Looking Ahead: Rolling into July with Girls on the Run

Our commitment to giving back doesn't stop when the calendar turns. We are already gearing up for our July Monthly Donation Partner: Girls on the Run!

This fantastic organization inspires girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. We can’t wait to support their mission of empowering young girls in our community next month.

Want to help us make an even bigger impact for July? Come take a spin through history with us! Grab your family, book a standard cruiser or an e-bike tour, and let’s pedal for a purpose together.

Rolling Through the Host District: Why Summer is the Best Time to See Savannah by Bike

There is a distinct magic to Savannah in the summer. The Spanish moss hangs heavy over the squares, the scent of jasmine is thick in the warm air, and the city slows down to a beautiful, leisurely pace.

While some people think summer in the Lowcountry means staying indoors under the air conditioning, locals know the real secret: the absolute best way to experience the city right now is on two wheels.

1. You Get Your Own Personal Breeze

Walking around the Historic District in July or August can feel a little like walking through warm honey. But when you climb onto a bicycle, you instantly create your own breeze. Cycling through Savannah’s iconic, canopy-shaded streets like Jones Street or Washington Avenue offers a built-in cooling system that walking just can't match.

2. Up-Close Views (Without the Smoggy Windows)

Savannah’s famous urban design is meant to be appreciated out in the open. Trolleys and buses are great, but they keep you behind glass. On a bike, you can roll directly up to the edge of the fountain at Forsyth Park, peer through the wrought-iron gates of historic mansions, and duck into quiet cobblestone alleyways where larger tour vehicles can't fit.

3. We Beat the Summer Traffic

Summer brings plenty of road-tripping visitors to our coastal haven. Instead of circling the block looking for parking near the busy River Street or the hot spots around Forsyth Park, a bike lets you glide right past the traffic to hear stories about Savannah’s rich history and culture.

Summer Riding Tips from the Pros

To make the most of your summer cruise, keep these three rules in mind:

• Ride Early: Book the earliest morning tour available. The morning sun filtering through the live oaks is stunning, and you'll wrap up your ride right as the midday heat starts to peak.

• Hydrate Like a Local: Always pack an insulated water bottle. (If you tour with us, we keep you fully stocked with cold water, sunscreen, and bug spray so you don't have to stress).

• Go Electric if You Want to Chill: If you want the open-air experience without the physical workout, an E-Bike tour is a game-changer. You get all the views and all the history, completely sweat-free.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Ready to ride for a cause? Book your next tour today and help us make March just as impactful as February!

The Local’s Guide to St. Patrick’s Day 2026: Why Two Wheels are Better Than Four

Savannah’s St. Patrick’s Day isn't just a holiday; it’s a season. In 2026, with the parade falling on a Tuesday, March 17, the city is bracing for a massive "long weekend" of festivities starting as early as Friday, March 13.

​Whether you are a first-time visitor or a seasoned local, navigating the Hostess City during the second-largest St. Patrick’s Day celebration in the U.S. can be daunting. Between the road closures, the "green" fountain crowds, and the lack of parking, your best friend this year isn't a rideshare app—it’s a bicycle.

​2026 Milestone Events

​To plan your visit, keep these key 2026 dates on your radar:

​March 6 (Friday): The Greening of the Fountain at Forsyth Park (12:00 PM). A perfect day for a midday bike tour to see the water turn emerald.

​March 14 (Saturday): The Tybee Island Heritage Parade. Expect the downtown historic district to be bustling with "pre-game" energy.

​March 17 (Tuesday): The Grand Parade (10:15 AM). The main event!

​Why Biking is the "Secret Weapon" for 2026

​If you try to drive into the Historic District on the weekend of the 14th or the morning of the 17th, you’ll spend more time in your car than at the pub. Here is why we recommend seeing the city on two wheels:

​1. Bypass the Gridlock

​During parade week, the city creates a "Security Zone." Major arteries like Bay Street, Broughton, and Abercorn become strictly controlled. While cars are diverted into endless loops, bikes can navigate the peripheral lanes and smaller brick-paved alleys, getting you to your destination in a fraction of the time.

​2. The "Step-Through" Advantage

​At Savannah Bike Tours, our fleet includes comfortable step-through bikes. Why does that matter for St. Paddy's? Because if you’re wearing a kilt, a tutu, or a heavy green blazer, you want a bike that is easy to hop on and off without a wardrobe malfunction!

​3. Front-Row Square Access

​Savannah has 22 historic squares, and during the parade, they are packed. A bike allows you to scout multiple squares (like Lafayette or Madison) quickly to find that perfect pocket of shade or the best view of the marching pipe bands.

​Pro-Tips for Navigating the Festive Chaos

​Pro-Tip #1: Arrive Early. If you have a tour booked with us at 502 East Broughton St, plan to arrive at least 20 minutes early. Broughton Street is the heart of the action, and the sidewalk traffic can be as slow as a parade itself!

​Pro-Tip #2: The "Open Container" Zone. Remember that while Savannah has a famous "to-go cup" policy, it only applies to the historic district (North of Jones Street). Also, safety first: Please don't drink and pedal. We want you to enjoy the history, not become part of it!

​Pro-Tip #3: Lock it Up. If you’re hopping off your bike to grab a green snapdragon or a Guinness, ensure you use the racks provided. Avoid locking bikes to historic railings or trees—the city is strict during festival week!

​What You’ll See on tour during the week of St. Paddy’s

​While the party is on the river, the story of the Irish in Savannah is in the streets. On our tours, we’ll dive into:

​The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist: The stunning backdrop for many Irish festivities.

​Emmet Park: Named after the Irish orator Robert Emmet, this is the "Celtic Heart" of Savannah.

​The Factor's Walk: See where the history of trade and the Irish labor force shaped the very walls of the city.

​Book Your 2026 Tour Now!

​Availability during the week of March 13–17 vanishes fast. If you want to see the moss-draped oaks and the historic architecture without getting stuck in a pedestrian traffic jam, a guided bike tour is your golden ticket!!

Riding Solo, Never Alone: Why Savannah is a Dream for Solo Travelers

There is a specific kind of magic that happens when you travel solo. You aren't beholden to anyone else’s itinerary, you can linger at a historic plaque for as long as you like, and—in a city as friendly as Savannah—you’re never truly alone for long.

If you’ve been eyeing a getaway to the "Hostess City" but are wondering if it’s the right fit for a solo adventurer, we have some good news: Savannah is one of the most welcoming, walkable, and bikeable cities in the South.

Here is why your next solo trip should involve two wheels and our moss-draped streets.

1. The Safety of the "Small Town" Feel

While Savannah is a thriving city, the Historic District feels like a series of interconnected neighborhoods. Because the city is laid out on a grid system punctuated by 22 lush squares, it is incredibly difficult to get lost.

For solo travelers, this layout is a safety net. You are rarely more than a few blocks from a bustling cafe, a friendly shopkeeper, or a landmark that can help you find your bearings.

2. We’ve Got a "Vision Zero" Mindset

Savannah is actively investing in making its streets safer for everyone. Through the Savannah Vision Zero initiative, the city is currently rolling out significant safety improvements—including expanded bike lanes, better street lighting, and enhanced pedestrian crossings.

When you’re out on a bike, you’ll notice that Savannah drivers are accustomed to "Slow-vannah" speeds. Between the horse-drawn carriages and the curious tourists, the pace of traffic here is naturally mellow, making it a low-stress environment for cyclists.

3. The Ultimate "Icebreaker": A Guided Bike Tour

The biggest hurdle of solo travel can be the occasional bout of "Where do I go now?" or the slight awkwardness of dining alone.

Joining a Savannah Bike Tour is the perfect solution.

• Instant Community: You’ll spend two hours with a small group and a knowledgeable guide. It’s the easiest way to meet fellow travelers without the pressure of a formal social setting.

• Local Intel: Our guides don’t just talk about 1733; they know where the best solo-friendly bars are, which squares are the quietest for reading, and which restaurants have the best "bar seating" (the secret weapon of the solo diner).

• The Safety of Numbers: Exploring with a guide allows you to see the hidden gems and "off-the-beaten-path" lanes with the confidence of a local expert leading the way.

4. Tips for the Solo Cyclist in Savannah

To make your solo adventure even smoother, keep these tips in mind:

• Stick to the "Roads with Squares": Streets like Bull, Habersham, and Abercorn have sqaures which slow traffic, are well lit, and very walkable.

• Daylight is Your Friend: Savannah is beautiful at night, but for solo cycling, we recommend sticking to the daylight hours to fully enjoy the architecture (and the pavement conditions!).

• Lock it Up: Like any city, "Lock it or Lose it" applies. So just lock up your car so you can explore the city, museums, or shops with peace of mind.

Ready to roll? Whether you want to bike or e-bike on one of our guided history tours, we’d love to be part of your solo journey!

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: 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.

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.
