We just did the coastal tour with Cicley! It was a beautiful day, along a safe cycle path with great views. Cicely stopped along the way with great snippets of local history and interesting points to see. She was a really lovely guide. The gentleman passing out the bikes was very friendly too. Highly recommend!
A memorable experience, as much the place and the service as our guide Cecily. Very well prepared and documented, Cecily had photos to support her anecdotes or show who she was talking about in her historical information. I came back moved and curious about everything she taught me following the visit to Rottingdean and the characters who lived in and enriched this town. The visit to Kipling's garden and the chapel and the history of the Morirs and Marguerite were like an enchantment. Thank you Cecily for this meeting and tour so well prepared
Super fun bike tour! One piece of history, a beautiful trip along the coast and the cute town of Rottingdean. Our guide Duncan is an enthusiastic and pleasant guy who kept the speed up so that the workout for that day could be checked off immediately 😅.
Our guide was very nice and knowledgable. The tour allowed us to see parts of Brighton we would not have seen on our own and it was informative and fun.
Amazing views of the white cliffs, a nice ride to Rottingdean, we were impressed And our guide Duncan had some nice stories to tell
One of the best tours we ever did. The owner was a delight to listen to. She even has a beautiful singing voice when she did a poem of Kipling. Absolute must do, when in Brighton
Beautiful views and friendly staff! We had a very good time and got great exercise. It was a lovely morning activity.
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!
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! 😁
Duncan was fabulous, we learned so much about Brighton and enjoyed the route along the undercliff path to Rottingdean. Would highly recommend this tour.
