Michael was a wonderful tour guide, very informative and entertaining! Made sure to give a shady option to stand when we stopped for stories, and a couple of places to sit for a rest as well. We walked all over Brighton, but it did not feel taxing or too much! I would highly recommend.
Thanks and glad Michael was able to help ensure you didn't melt! Do try our 'Baleful Brighton' Ghost Tour too!
Michael was a fantastic tour guide and the tour was really informative and funny with lots of quirky stories about Brighton and its inhabitants. It was a great way to spend my birthday morning!
Thanks!! (and a very belated 'Happy Birthday'!
Such an interesting tour! Michael was great and explained everything really well - knew all the names and dates and who did what! Also good for pub recommendations after hah Walk was a nice length, plenty of shady spots (it was a hot day when we did it) and public toilets en route too.
Thanks for the review and glad you didn't melt!! And pub reccos are a must have!
Michael is such a knowledgeable guy.. Soo many funny stories, and local stories. The tour was great Highly recommend..
Many thanks!!
Michael was excellent, he was great fun for my youngest but enough terrible history to keep my teen happy (and me). It was the hottest day and he adapted to stop us all boiling and find shady spots. I will definitely be booking more tours around the country if they are all this good.
Thanks Debbie! Great to hear the feedback, especially as we're so new in Brighton! We have 8 tours across 4 cities - also in Cambridge, Oxford and Norwich. If you do them all we'll give you an extra free tour! :-)
