Sensationally Insightful & Fun - Learn the History of Brighton from its beginning to the present! - A massive thanks to Julian who guided us through the history of Brighton, from its beginning to now, and left me with a wealth of knowledge I never would have had if I hadn’t have booked in this tour! I’ll now be sure to refer to those small alleyways as ‘twittens’ and will be careful not to order fish ‘n’ chips from the oldest oyster restaurant in Brighton 😅 Maybe it’s time for a pint at The Cricketers’ - another location you’ll learn about if you’re able to jump onto this walking tour! Massive thanks Julian - now time to explore more of the Laines and eat some fish ‘n’ chips!

All that I had hoped for - Russell was very personable and certainly very knowledgeable. He paced the tour well and with humour. Russell allowed me plenty of time to take photos. He also related history to my own experiences in the UK

The real treasure of Brighton - Julian, the Guide! - Julian, Brighton in his steps, brings you to places and corners which you would not find by yourself, which you otherwise would have missed... A very enjoyable experience... Thank you for that colourful afternoon! I wished I could have talked to you more, but had lost my voice, so was a happy listener instead... Highly recommended!

Bank Holiday Treat - Very nice. We thought that we knew Brighton well but we learnt a great deal more. Particularly found the visit to the famous "Quadraphenia Alley" really interesting!
