Fun and great company - Great company to rent from. Love the fact that we could keep the bikes after the tour. Also, we were late for the tour and they caught us up with the group. Very nice and professional organization.

Small tour group w a great tour guide!! Highly recommend!! - This bike tour exceeded all of my expectations. Perfect balance of history, biking and helpful recommendations for the area. Melissa was our tour guide and did a phenomanal job of running this tour. Learned a ton about Savannah history and took her up on one of her restaurant suggestions. And our group was a size of 7, so very intimate and personal, which made it all the more better. Highly, highly recommend taking this tour!!

Great way to see Savannah - Wow! Our guide Melissa was fantastic. Her knowledge of Savannah and ability to tell us the history was outstanding. We wanted to do a bike tour to see more of the city and learn some of the history. Both of which this tour accomplished. Highly recommend booking a tour.

Savannah by Bicycle - Wow! Touring Savannah by bicycle was fantastic! Our guide, Linda, was so knowledgeable and fun. We learned a lot about this magical city. Very safe and shady and going through the squares made for a wonderful way to see the city. After the tour, we were able to keep the bikes for the afternoon. With the suggested route on the map we were given, we explored further with another couple we met on the tour. So much fun! Definitely recommend to anyone able to bike.
