Great fun ghost tour
We enjoyed the ghost tour, it was fun for the whole family. The guide was very knowledgeable and kept the experience fun. The guide spoke to us and asked questions to keep us engaged. I would highly recommend to anyone who loves history and enjoys a good ghost story.

Spooky fun!
I did the Baleful Brighton ghost walk on Thursday 20 August and Mariella was an excellent guide. We started at the Pavilion as a storm rolled in from the sea front which greatly assisted the atmosphere so unlike me, definitely pack an umbrella, coastal weather is unpredictable. XD We went from there to the Lanes and to finish, the beach. Even though I’m familiar with Brighton already I learned lots of spooky facts I never knew. It was great fun and although there was a bit of confusion about the meeting point, we got it sorted out in the end. The directions to the meeting point send you to where the Royal theatre is but the actual meeting point is written as at the George IV statue outside the north entrance to the pavilion gardens. That’s the one you want! I really enjoyed the tour and would be happy to do the other one, Barmy Brighton on my next holiday.

Many thanks and especially thanks for pointing out the issue with meeting point. Glad you enjoyed (and sorry about the British summer weather!)

Brighton Ghost Tour
Brilliant - Michael is an engaging and natural guide who blended ghost stories with Brighton history to keep the kids and I thoroughly entertained. Hard to believe he has only been doing this for 2 months!
Operator response
Thanks and yes, Michael may be new to guiding but it is clearly his calling! Glad you enjoyed!!!

Quite good once we got going.
We could not find anyone to do our tour for the first ten fifteen minutes. The post code took us to just opposite the Theatre.
This needs to be looked at as we nearly gave up, if the lady hadn’t called to ask where we were we would never have found her.
Marilese I think her name was. She was very knowledgeable and made it fun too.
The post code or starting point needs to be addressed!
Operator response
Many thanks for the review - this has happened a couple of times on meeting point when folks have booked through a 3rd party so I'll go through and make sure we're clear why this has happened.

Ghostly Fun - Highly recommend
What a fantastic ghost walk in Brighton! Our guide, Michael, was incredibly peppy, engaging, and absolutely packed with knowledge. As history enthusiasts, we especially loved all the extra stories and details he shared—it felt like getting much more than just a standard tour.
Not only was the walk entertaining and informative, but Michael's extensive knowledge of Brighton’s history and ghostly tales really shone through and made the whole experience memorable.
If you're visiting Brighton and looking for something fun, fascinating, and a little spooky, we highly recommend this tour. Thanks, Michael, for a brilliant evening!
Operator response
Wow what a lovely review for Michael! We're still pretty new to Brighton and what successes we've had so far have been very much down to Michael. I'm liking 'peppy!!' in particular!
