"What’s the big picture here?Savannah Bike Tours meet on Habersham Street in the middle of the historic district, where you'll saddle up on a street cruiser. Dee, the tour guide, explains a few rules and safety points, and then it’s away you go to see the sights of downtown Savannah. Be sure to reserve in advance, as the group size is capped at 14.
Tell us about your fellow tourees.This is a relaxed, easy tour that lends itself to all ages and abilities, and the three miles over about two hours couldn't be called strenuous under any circumstance. Savannah is a fairly flat city, so there are no steep uphill climbs. If you have basic bike riding skills you're good to go.
How are the guides?Dee is supremely knowledgeable about the city and has devised a coherent route around the downtown neighborhood. In addition to stories about the stops on the way, he acts as a concierge on wheels, giving dining and sightseeing advice as you roll along.
Anything you’ll be remembering weeks, months or years from now?The tour hits Savannah's most famous landmarks; highlights include Forsyth Park, mansions like the Hamilton Turner Inn, and the river, not to mention the evocative, Spanish moss–framed squares the city is most famous for.
So: What makes this tour a standout?This is a fun, physically accessible tour that covers more ground than a walking tour. You'll see all of the main downtown sights and get a charming, information-packed overview of the city’s history. Plus, in a city with such a rich food scene, even the gentlest workout feels good." - Paul Oswell
