Excellent tour. Austin our guide was very knowledgeable. Saw all the sites in what felt like a personalized tour. Well worth it.

Cheri

Anecdotal information provided by our guide made Savannah memorable. I had stories as well as pictures of our stops to share with my family that made Savannah come alive for them.

Lisa B

Excellent private history tour. Austin did a great job sharing his knowledge and interacting with us. I feel like we got a deep dive into local history as well as beautiful houses and tips for the rest of our stay

Kathleen M

Bike shop personnel were friendly and helpful in getting us set up on bikes and going over safety rules of Savannah roads. Linda, our tour ride was excellent with a lot more “inside scoop” of designated stops than you get on the trolley tours. We liked being able to keep our bikes for the rest of the day after our morning tour and hit a lot more historic sites. Highly recommend!!

Great tour of the historic squares. Lot of fun information and facts about the city. We kept the bikes afterwards and biked the city until 5p. SOW even provided a detailed map of where to/not to go to keep bikers safe if you kept the bike all day and that was helpful. Would recommend this to any visitors who are able/like to bike and see the city in a different way.

We feel this was the worst tour we have ever had. Some of the information given didn’t jive with the other tours we took. We felt like the guide wasn’t really in to the tour. He didn’t even turn around while riding to make sure all bikers were still behind him. He only counted us when we stopped. Very disappointing considering how much we paid.

We signed up for one of the historic tours in late April. Austin, our tour guide, was very well informed of Savannah history. We learned quite a lot about James Oglethorpe and his colleagues and were surprised that Georgia was originally anti-slavery just decades before the civil war. Austin was also a good speaker and excellent guide through the streets of the city. Savannah on Wheels did a great job selecting bikes for us, and providing helmets, water and baskets if needed. It was a great experience and we would highly recommend it for anyone interested in Savannah history combined with a little bit of easy biking.

We had a fabulous bike tour through Savannah. Austin was very knowledgeable and made sure we were all comfortable and safe. Highly recommend them if you’re in the area!

The staff at this place are so friendly. Since I'd opted to rent a bike for a day, I picked one up at opening. In addition to all the bike accessories I needed, I was given a map with a route to ride by all of Savannah's historic squares! The tour was great, too -- Austin had a great sense of humor while being thoughtful and sensitive to the history of this town. I learned a lot about the history of Savannah. He also did a great job directing all of us and keeping us safe on the bikes!

We had a fabulous time on the Historic bike tour with Austin. It felt like we had our own history professor navigating our way through Savannah. Highly, highly recommend a tour with Austin if you are interested in Savannah history.
