Ride On! - A great basic tour of a historical part of the city.
Who know what you should do?
Use headphone(single) for guest and have a microphone. Even a small group can get spread out enough so the last rider can’t hear the guide.
Balancing safety of rider with getting the information.
Bikes were in good condition. Easy ride- even for 50 somethings.

Great Tour! Rent the bike for the day! - Delightful and worthwhile activity to do. The bikes were quality equipment, and the staff went the extra mile to ensure all equipment was working and felt comfortable for each rider.
I had a tour with Ron who was very knowledgeable about Savannah history, answered all questions asked by our group and was very patient guiding us around.
I went on the tour as a solo and joined others booked as well. All of us navigated the tour with no difficulties. The streets were easy to ride with and I felt like I barely pedaled most the time. Additionally, I felt like the tour was very safe, informative, would recommend it to anyone capable of riding a bike no matter their fitness level.
I wanted the early tour thinking traffic would be more limited and people crowds less. I was so glad I took the tour. It was a crisp morning but that seemed to amplify the enjoyable pedal around many squares and sites especially without crowds or a lot of traffic to compete against for fun photos and taking in of sites.
Rent the bike for the DAY! I opted not to rent the bike for the rest of the day, thinking walking around would be just as enjoyable. In hindsight I wish I had rented the bike for the day. They will provide a lock for you if you do, and you will be able to take in so many more sites, especially after the tour and gaining an understanding of how the area is laid out. With the bike you will also be able to take in more sites than even trying to ride the free DOT bus.
If you have time and plan to sit- see after the tour, I strongly encourage the bike rental for the day. I know regret not doing a full day rental and know if I make it back again, I will do a full day rental.

Great way to see the city! - We had a great day exploring Savannah on bikes! We learned a ton and had fun, all while feeling very safe on our journey. Both our guides did a great job! We opted for regular bikes (not e-bikes), Savannah is pretty flat and I think people that opted for e-bikes didn’t end up using that function.

Take a slow ride! - Great bike route and fascinating information about the city of Savannah, past and present. Pleasant and easy walk out to the shop location, from the DeSoto Hotel. Shop employees and guide Linda were all very helpful. Bikes were in excellent condition. Would have have extended the bike rental for the rest of the day to explore the city more, if I had more time before my flight.

Savannah Bike Tour Fun - Great way to tour the city and see points of interest. Slow, relaxed pace so you had time to view the sites. Linda, our guide, was great. She was very knowledgeable about Savannah’s history and ensured everyone had a safe and fun time.

Savannah's Founding - Great history of 1700s and 1800s. Revolutionary and other wars. Linda was an interesting stosquares and allowed plenty of space for questions and commentary - much appreciated. So many beautiful squares throughout.

Make sure there is no parade - The tour we had did not cover the stops that were advertised because the Veteran’s Day parade was going on. We visited only 2 squares. It was very disappointing and a waste of $49.
