Fantastic cycle, great tour
We just did the coastal tour with Cicley! It was a beautiful day, along a safe cycle path with great views. Cicely stopped along the way with great snippets of local history and interesting points to see. She was a really lovely guide. The gentleman passing out the bikes was very friendly too. Highly recommend!

AN ENCHANTMENT Tour well prepared by Cecily full of historical info by the English Channel
A memorable experience, as much the place and the service as our guide Cecily. Very well prepared and documented, Cecily had photos to support her anecdotes or show who she was talking about in her historical information. I came back moved and curious about everything she taught me following the visit to Rottingdean and the characters who lived in and enriched this town. The visit to Kipling's garden and the chapel and the history of the Morirs and Marguerite were like an enchantment. Thank you Cecily for this meeting and tour so well prepared

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 😅.

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!
