My wife and I were lucky enough to have a tour with Julian on a sunny afternoon and fortunately for us we were the only ones at that time. Julian was very knowledgeable, and by living in Brighton most of his life, took us to not only the popular places but also those we would have easily missed, providing a large amount of history along the way and made this a far more enjoyable experience. A thoroughly enjoyable stroll and would recommend it to anyone.
Russel knows a lot about Brighton and addressed our questions. He is knowledgeable and showed us places we would never have visited. It was great!
Our guide, Russell, was excellent. Very knowledgeable and funny, learned lots of history and culture
Most enjoyable experience, Julian was very knowledgable, with a great sense of humour. Very informative with recommending restaurants and pubs we would have not known about otherwise. Highly recommend. Thanks Julian!
Russell was an excellent guide and knew his history. Despite my living in and around Brighton for many years he showed us things I was not aware of. Highly recommended.
This was a fantastic tour! We ended up having an unplanned private tour with Russell, which was amazing! He was so knowledgeable & entertaining. He really engaged us and connected on a personal level. We learned so much that we wouldn’t have been able to on our own. We couldn’t have lucked out with a better guide! We are so glad we took this tour and couldn’t recommend it more!
An intimate walking tour with a knowledgeable individual. We are happy to recommend this tour. David and Susie (Belfast)
My tour with Russell was absolutely FANTASTIC! He provided a deep dive into the history of Brighton and the surrounding areas, peppered with fascinating insider tidbits that you won't find in a guidebook or online. What really set Russell apart was his willingness to go above and beyond—he answered all my 'off-topic' questions and gave me several spot-on recommendations for dinner, local eats and around town, and other must-see locations nearby. Every suggestion he provided was a hit. Five stars!
We spent an enjoyable hour and a half wandering round Brighton with Russell. He shared his knowledge of Brighton with us including little known facts and certainly took us into alleyways and lanes that we would have missed otherwise.
We really enjoyed our walking tour with Julien. It was very interesting with the right amount of information and lots of insight into the city. We would thoroughly recommend this tour
