Excellent informative afternoon - Very informative The guide was very charming and came from Brighton so was well versed. It wasn’t too much walking and he took us to parts of the Lanes we had not found. A very enjoyable afternoon. Could have done with more time with him. Thanks 🤩

Great walking tour! - Great walking tour of Brighton! As a solo traveler, I love joining walking tours to interact with others and get a local’s perspective on the city. This tour did not disappoint—we visited a lot of hidden gems which I would not have gone to on my own.

Informative and entertaining tour - We did this tour on our first day (9th June) and the tour was very enjoyable and informative.. Julian, our tour guide, had a great sense of humour, keeping us all entertained. We had been to Brighton before but it was good to do this on our first day to understand the history and also give us ideas on things to do for the next few days. Definitely recommend.

There is no way I could have found out so much about Brighton if I hadn’t gone on this tour. - It was easy to find the tour operator. We were a total of 4 people in the tour, which was fine. I enjoyed the walk and finding all the nooks and crannies. I wouldn’t have learned this much just in my own. As a result I will consider more walking tours in the future. Thank you.

Sensationally Insightful & Fun - Learn the History of Brighton from its beginning to the present! - A massive thanks to Julian who guided us through the history of Brighton, from its beginning to now, and left me with a wealth of knowledge I never would have had if I hadn’t have booked in this tour! I’ll now be sure to refer to those small alleyways as ‘twittens’ and will be careful not to order fish ‘n’ chips from the oldest oyster restaurant in Brighton 😅 Maybe it’s time for a pint at The Cricketers’ - another location you’ll learn about if you’re able to jump onto this walking tour! Massive thanks Julian - now time to explore more of the Laines and eat some fish ‘n’ chips!

Lovely Brighton Tour - The guide, Julian, gave us a tour that combined visiting some of the city's *highlights* - such as the famous pier, and the pavilion - as well as taking us to some lesser known venues such as Quadrophenia Alley, and the small streets known as 'twittens'. Lots of interesting details from a native guide. Bit difficult to hear him at times (quiet voice) but overall a really nice tour that most people would enjoy : )

Informative leisurely walking tour - Great leisure walking tour through Brighton. Nice pace and good commentary. Our guide was very personal and informative. Easy to find on the pier to start. Ended at the Grand Pavilion where there was a concert on the park. Delightful
