South Carolina & Georgia: Charleston to Savannah

You are invited to experience true Southern hospitality as you cycle the coastline from Charleston to Savannah—discovering the region’s vibrant local culture along the way. Join us for a traditional “Beaufort social”—a quintessential Southern experience. Here, you’ll rub elbows with your neighbors—and perhaps even swing them around while dancing the Virginia Reel. As you cycle the famous Intercoastal Waterway and Spanish Moss trails, you’ll explore local culture from many perspectives, including a visit to Fort Moultrie, where Edgar Allen Poe was once stationed, a picnic at historic Fripp Plantation, and a guided tour of the Penn Center—the first Southern school dedicated to the education of former slaves. From the moss-draped streets of Savannah, you’ll cycle to the scenic Isle of Hope, all in the company of local guides who call the region home. 

Tour Highlights

  • Cycle by the pastel-hued houses of Charleston, marveling at views of sailboats and historic Fort Sumter.
  • Immerse yourself in the legacy of the Gullah people when you visit the Sea Island of St. Helena and the culture-rich Penn Center.
  • Step back in time with a cycle through the famed Bonaventure Cemetery and a guided walking tour of the charming streets of Savannah.
  • Ride beneath a magnificent avenue flanked by live oaks as you approach historic Wormsloe Plantation.
  • Cycle beneath the live oaks of the Spanish Moss Trail to arrive among the antebellum architecture of Beaufort.

Positive Impact

VBT is proud to support The Penn Center with a donation on behalf of each guest on this tour. Founded in 1862, Penn School, established by northern missionaries, was one of the first academic schools in the South to provide a formal education for previously enslaved West Africans. Now known as The Penn Center, for more than 150 years this historic landmark has been at the epicenter of African American education, historic preservation, and social justice for tens of thousands of descendants of formerly enslaved West and Central Africans living in the Sea Islands, known as the Gullah Geechee people.

Just got back from this superb bike trip, thru history laden Charleston,Beufort(SC), and Savannah. Pinkie & I have been to these cities before, but not like this. Sarah & Tim did a fantastic job herding us thru each journey, and prepping some great meals at the legendary lunch stops!! Our 6th tour with VBT, the highlights were the THREE special tours/events with Evaline in Beufort, and amazing historical Savannah tour with KT. The group bonded really well, really fun experience (again) !!!!

Southern History at its best ‼️

First time VBT rider and I can't say enough good stuff about the trip, the guides or the company. The trip exceeded my expectations! Great southern history wrapped up in beautiful scenery, incredible food, great service, good accommodations and interesting people! If you've never ridden with a group, this is a great first time trip. It's obvious VBT knows what they are doing and trains their people well. You won't be disappointed!
