Second Time For Tour - Interesting history about the colonization of Savannah. We had Austin as a guide. You could tell that he loved history. He made our tour very enjoyable and fun. He was also all about safety and made sure that our ride through the city was smooth. This is my second time taking this tour and would definitely recommend this tour again. Each time, I learned something new. It's also an easy biking tour on flat surfaces and no extreme elevations.

underwhelmed. - Austin is a great guide and the bikes are in very good condition. However it is more of a walking tour with a bike. I thought we would cover more area and see more things......... I should have read the description of the tour. You cover only about 2 miles on this bike tour, which is 2 hours! I thought I would be riding more.
It was nice we got to keep the bike after and ride around town..............
