Super fun bike tour! One piece of history, a beautiful trip along the coast and the cute town of Rottingdean. Our guide Duncan is an enthusiastic and pleasant guy who kept the speed up so that the workout for that day could be checked off immediately 😅.
Our guide was very nice and knowledgable. The tour allowed us to see parts of Brighton we would not have seen on our own and it was informative and fun.
Amazing views of the white cliffs, a nice ride to Rottingdean, we were impressed And our guide Duncan had some nice stories to tell
One of the best tours we ever did. The owner was a delight to listen to. She even has a beautiful singing voice when she did a poem of Kipling. Absolute must do, when in Brighton
Beautiful views and friendly staff! We had a very good time and got great exercise. It was a lovely morning activity.
Duncan! Thank you very much for showing us a wonderful time and a pleasant tour. We loved the history, the little jaunt over to Rottingdean, and especially your song. I’ll recommend it to any friends in the area. Cheers!
The bike tour was fun! As a cycling beginner, I was being taken care of by the tour guide Duncan. The coastal tour is flat and easy which is suitable for all levels of cycling experience and ages. Although it was quite busy in the city and beach front. The view of undercliff was amazing!! Although the tour is 2.5 hours, it was not difficult. In fact, we even did some city tour then to the coast on Sunday (23rd June). Thanks for Duncan’s encouragement and compliment, the tour gave me more confidence on cycling. Yesterday, I even cycled from London to Windsor Castle!! If I would not have joined the tour, I wouldn’t be confident to cycle outside of London! Highly recommend this tour for everybody who loves cycling and nature! 😁
Duncan was fabulous, we learned so much about Brighton and enjoyed the route along the undercliff path to Rottingdean. Would highly recommend this tour.
We had a great time on the tour. The guide told us that, in the end, we'd probably gone around 15km! It was one of the best ways to see the city, coast, and surrounding areas and we even fit in time for a little pub stop!
Really enjoyed the bike tour led by Cicely who was full of interesting information about the area. Highlight was riding along the under cliff path past waves crashing against the shore nearby. The wet weather didn’t dampen our enjoyment at all!
