The experience

You'll start on Telfair Square, where the guide briefs you on the Segway before you head out into Savannah's grid of historic streets. The route passes through the city's most significant squares and past landmarks like the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, where you'll pause to take in LaFayette Square. The guide weaves in Savannah's history as you ride, from the city's founding as Georgia's 13th colony through its evolution into one of the Southeast's most layered and complex cities.

The Segway itself handles the logistics of moving through the streets. You're standing upright, balanced on the platform, which means you can take in the architecture and monuments around you without the effort of walking. The pace is set by the group and the guide, so there's time to absorb what you're seeing rather than rush past it. Historic homes, captivating monuments and fountains appear as you move through the squares, each one anchoring a piece of Savannah's story.

The whole tour runs 60 minutes, which is long enough to cover the major squares and landmarks without wearing you down. You need to be at least 16 years old to ride, and the operator notes the tour isn't recommended for pregnant travelers. If you have mobility concerns, the tour is wheelchair accessible, and service animals are welcome.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist like when you ride past it?

The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist sits on LaFayette Square, and the guide stops you there to take in both the building's beauty and the square itself. It's one of the major pauses on the route where you get a real sense of the architecture and the space around it.

Do I need to know how to ride a Segway before I book?

No. The guide briefs you on the Segway at the start on Telfair Square before the tour begins, so you'll learn how to balance and move on it before you head out into the streets.

How much of the tour is actually riding versus standing and listening?

The 60 minutes includes both riding and pauses at the major squares and landmarks. You're moving most of the time, but the guide stops you at key spots like the Cathedral and LaFayette Square so you can take in what you're seeing.

Is this tour good for someone who's never been to Savannah before?

Yes. The guide shares Savannah's history from the city's founding as the 13th colony onward, so you'll get context for the squares, buildings and monuments you're passing. It's built to give newcomers a real sense of how the city developed.

Can I do this tour if I'm not in great physical shape?

The tour is suitable for all fitness levels, since the Segway does the work of propulsion and you're standing rather than walking. The main physical demand is balance and the ability to stand for 60 minutes.
