Unmissable tour of Brighton - I had an amazing time on An Historical Walking Tour of Brighton and its Hidden Gems! Sam was so knowledgeable and made the history of Brighton really come alive with fascinating stories and fun little facts. We explored some hidden corners I’d never have found on my own, and the whole thing was super relaxed and enjoyable. It wasn’t just about the big historical landmarks; there were loads of quirky details and surprises too. I came away feeling like I really understood Brighton’s unique character. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting—or even locals!
