The Experience

How much of Savannah can you actually see in a morning without spending the whole time walking? A bike covers the ground—most of the historic district, River Street, the squares and the landmarks—with enough time to stop, photograph and hear the story behind each place. You start at Forsyth Park Fountain, the most photographed spot downtown, then move through City Market to learn the founder's city plan and how it still shapes urban design today. The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist comes next, with its landmark spires and the history of how the Irish built something big here.

The route takes you past the Andrew Low House, where the Girl Scouts of America were founded, and through the SCAD campus to see how the art school's restored buildings have reshaped the city's identity and economy. You'll see the square tied to the mystery of "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," and end at River Street to learn about Savannah's maritime heritage, the plantations and the goods that built the port economy. The bikes have front baskets for your things, seats designed for comfort over a couple of hours, and helmets are provided for anyone who wants one. Water comes with you, and the guide handles the talking—you just ride the quieter streets that link the main paths.

The tour runs 2 hours and welcomes kids from age 5 onward; infants can ride in a stroller or specialized seat if you arrange it. All fitness levels work here because the pace is set by the group and the stops are built in. A restroom is available at the shop before or after you ride.
