A wonderful experience

Julian was a very knowledgeable guide and took us to some very unusual places in Brighton that we would have never found without his guidance. Highly recommend him as a guide so many thanks Julian for sharing your knowledge and giving us a pleasurable one and a half hours of strolling

Great!

Russell was very knowledgeable and interesting. He showed us several locations that I don't think we would have found on our own. It was an excellent experience and we learnt a lot about Brighton. Thank you!

Russell was our guide and he was great. There was only myself and my husband on the tour so there were lots of information sharing. Russell was knowledgeable and open to questions. Would recommend.

Excellent Tour guide and helpful tour

Excellent guide. We are experienced travelers and one of us is a professional guide in NYC, and we were very pleased with the manner, knowledge and suggestions that our guide made. Took it the first full day we were there and it helped us enjoy the city more.

Much more than just a walk

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.
