Located in the heart of coastal Georgia, Savannah's Historic District is a sprawling treasure trove of cobblestone streets, ornate historic homes, and moss-draped oaks that whisper tales from centuries past. The Savannah Discovery Tour offers visitors a three-hour, fully customizable pedicab experience that blends local history, haunting legends, and southern charm into an immersive outdoor adventure perfect for groups, families, and even pets. Unlike crowded city bus tours, this intimate ride makes it easy to set your own pace, pause for photos, or explore hidden corners most visitors miss.
Savannah’s Historic District was established in 1733 and features an 18th-century urban plan around 22 park-like squares adorned with statues and fountains. The district’s architecture showcases styles from Federal and Georgian to Gothic Revival and Italianate, reflecting the city’s evolution through plantation wealth, Civil War scars, and modern preservation efforts. Highlights include iconic locations like the Mercer-Williams House, famous from “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,” and the eerie, cobwebbed Andrew Low House.
What sets this tour apart is the trust and expertise of your pedicab driver, who doubles as a storyteller weaving little-known anecdotes, ghost stories, and facts about Savannah’s unique flora, including towering live oaks and the delicate blooms that scent the southern air. The route can be tailored based on your interests—whether you want to focus on architectural marvels, the city’s Civil War history, or the vibrant art scenes lining the riverfront. Traveling via pedicab also allows access to narrower streets and quieter paths where you can soak up the ambiance and snap incredible photos without hurrying.
Nearly every step in Savannah invites discovery; from the lively River Street with its cobblestones and waterfront vistas to Forsyth Park's sprawling green space and iconic fountain. Small shops, historic cemeteries, and cozy cafés pepper the route, allowing for stops that enrich your journey.
