An Easy, Informative Ride with Duncan - 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!

My 1st bike tour - The bike tour was fun! As a cycling beginner, I was being taken care of by the tour guide Duncan. The coastal tour is flat and easy which is suitable for all levels of cycling experience and ages. Although it was quite busy in the city and beach front. The view of undercliff was amazing!! Although the tour is 2.5 hours, it was not difficult. In fact, we even did some city tour then to the coast on Sunday (23rd June). Thanks for Duncan’s encouragement and compliment, the tour gave me more confidence on cycling. Yesterday, I even cycled from London to Windsor Castle!! If I would not have joined the tour, I wouldn’t be confident to cycle outside of London! Highly recommend this tour for everybody who loves cycling and nature! 😁

Great way to see Brighton - We had a great time on the tour. The guide
told us that, in the end, we'd probably gone around 15km! It was one of the best ways to see the city, coast, and surrounding areas and we even fit in time for a little pub stop!

Wonderful bike tour and would definitely recommend. - Really enjoyed the bike tour led by Cicely who was full of interesting information about the area. Highlight was riding along the under cliff path past waves crashing against the shore nearby. The wet weather didn’t dampen our enjoyment at all!

Must-do scenic tour in Brighton with loads of history info - This was the second tour these past couple of days with Brighton Bike Tours. Both Cecilly and Duncan put a fantastic tour together. The laminated pictures to give more perspective to the historic areas was pretty much the icing on the cake! Thoroughly enjoyed the City Tour (lots of Brighton history info), and Costal Tour was so scenic. We stopped over at a small pictersque pub in Rottingdean, and that was a nice touch on the already scenic tour.

Beautiful and Memorable - We had a great time biking across the lovely coasts of Brighton, it was a nice and a moderately sunny day, with the waves occasionally splashing on us to add to our excitement!! Our guides- Cecily and Duncan were very sweet and helpful through out, we weren’t a seasoned bike riders and took some extra time to reach the destinations and they were always around chatting and making us feel a part of the group ❤️
Also they were so kind to capture some of our bike riding moments which we will cherish for ever!
Thank you Cecily and Duncan for such a wonderful experience 🙏😍
Thank you

Enjoyable Brighton by bicycle - Duncan brought our family for an enjoyable coastal bike tour. During the trip, he explained a lot of history of Brighton with pictures of the early years. We were lucky to have a bright sunny morning with mild wind and it is highly recommended to enjoy Brighton by bicycle.

Lovely way to get in the highlights of Brighton. Felt like a local and safe, kind guide, mostly level riding - Lovely way to get in the highlights of Brighton. Felt like a local and safe, kind guide, mostly level riding, plenty of breaks for information and a sip of water.
