Our walk through the Brighton Lanes with Alex (tour guide) was delightful. Alex was very knowledgeable and accommodating. The surprise visit to Bird Blend tea shop was an excellent addition to wash down the donuts. We all had a great time.

Had a great time on this tour, got to try some great donuts and tea! Both of which I will be happy to find again in the future. I even learnt some information about Brighton that I didn't know, and I've lived here for 38 years haha!

I grew up in Brighton but wanted to see what this was like, I learnt so much about Brighton. Alex our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable of Brightons history. Donuts were all incredible aswell as the tea stop. Highly recommend booking.
Thank you for allowing us to reintroduce you to your hometown! Alex says 👋 We hope to host you again, bring the neighbors!
What a fun way to enjoy and rediscover parts of the city! Joe was a super friendly, approachable and knowledgeable tour guide, and we learned a lot about Brighton that we didn't know (despite living here!). The doughnut stops were great, with each place bringing something different to the table. The tea stop at Bird & Blend also provided an opportunity to try something totally different to normal, and explore lots of interesting flavours. Luckily, the sun was also on our side so it made for a nice, leisurely two hour tour. Thank you, Joe!!

Joe was such a lovely, knowledgable tour guide and we really enjoyed our time! Particularly loved the time spent in bird & blend - we didn’t realise it was part of the tour but I’ve always wanted free rein to sample them all!!

Enjoyable walking tour of Brighton. Alex was friendly and informative as our guide (and informal group photographer) and shared lots of snippets of local history as we wandered the lanes. For me the highlight was the stop at Bird and Blend tea shop where we got to sample and sniff their absolute myriad of flavoured teas. Doughnuts were great, for me the hot cinnamon sugar one on the pier was pinnacle Brighton. Wear comfy shoes as I reckon I got in about 8k steps!
