Is it a safe bike ride from historic district? Also is there somewhere for a gluten free meal near here? What recommendations do others have for restaurants or grocery stores?

I took an Uber from the historic district and we traveled by highway part of the way, so it’s hard to know if there would be a safe bike route that did not include the highway. The neighborhood surrounding the cemetery seemed mostly residential, so probably okay to bike but I did not see many restaurants in the immediate area. Especially with specific dietary concerns, you might want to consider eating in the historic area and then heading to the cemetery with water/snacks. It’s definitey worth the trip! (And bring bug spray!)

We bought a map and did a self-guided tour. They have graphics of the well-known and big statues obviously shown on the map, as well as graves of historical interest. However, there's probably some insight in a guided tour that might be interesting. To answer your question, they only cancel the tours if it's a heavy downpour.
There are 4 of us going in a couple of weeks, but 2 members of the group are not big "walkers". Is this a hike, or a stroll? I'm assuming there are plenty of benches and shade trees, but I was wondering if there is a lot of uphill walking. Are there water fountains on the grounds or should we take our own water? Average age of this group is 68. We are in Savannah for 3 days, but from what I can tell, this is a "must see". What do you think?
A:
This is a "long" stroll. "..plenty of benches" is a stretch, but there are a few and it can be driven through as well. Bring water and you will love it. It's very shaded. Enjoy
