Solo tour - Very informative and timed to perfection. I particularly appreciated the fact that the tour went ahead with just one person

Highly Recommended - Julien was terrific, a native “Brightoner”with great stories and historical knowledge to share. The hour+ tour was a delight as Julien provided great background and trivia about Brighton. Highly recommended.

Insightful and enjoyable! - This was a fun, fascinating tour by a life-long Brighton resident who knows all the Brighton stories (and helps clarify which are fact and which are fiction). I had walked around Brighton for a couple of days, but Justin showed us places I had walked by and completely missed. Highly recommended by this American tourist (and the three Brits on our tour seemed equally impressed!)

The Best Way to Meet Brighton - I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Julian was a delight, full of stories of the history of Brighton, and we saw things I never would have found on my own. The meeting point was easy to find, the tour was well-paced, and I appreciated his recommendations for restaurants and shops. Highly recommended if you want to see more than just the seafront!

Great overview of Brighton - Insightful and interesting walk to the main sights and places, funny and sympathetic tour guide. A big surprise was that I got a private tour as all other participants cancelled maybe because of the weather...
