Walking tour with Julian. - Most enjoyable experience, Julian was very knowledgable, with a great sense of humour. Very informative with recommending restaurants and pubs we would have not known about otherwise. Highly recommend. Thanks Julian!

An excellent tour. - Russell was an excellent guide and knew his history. Despite my living in and around Brighton for many years he showed us things I was not aware of. Highly recommended.

Russell is the ultimate tour guide! Great tour!! - This was a fantastic tour! We ended up having an unplanned private tour with Russell, which was amazing! He was so knowledgeable & entertaining. He really engaged us and connected on a personal level. We learned so much that we wouldn’t have been able to on our own. We couldn’t have lucked out with a better guide! We are so glad we took this tour and couldn’t recommend it more!

When in Brighton Tour with Russell! - My tour with Russell was absolutely FANTASTIC! He provided a deep dive into the history of Brighton and the surrounding areas, peppered with fascinating insider tidbits that you won't find in a guidebook or online. What really set Russell apart was his willingness to go above and beyond—he answered all my 'off-topic' questions and gave me several spot-on recommendations for dinner, local eats and around town, and other must-see locations nearby. Every suggestion he provided was a hit. Five stars!

Wonderful Tour from a wonderful Guide - My husband and I were lucky enough to have a tour with Julian on a beautifully sunny, yet windy day at the end of November. Julian was engaging, witty, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to learn about Brighton from. Would highly recommend this tour!

A very interesting tour - Our guide, Julien, was very knowledgeable and took us to lots of different places we wouldn’t have noticed without him. He was just right in terms of giving us information - he didn’t overload us with history and facts. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

A very enjoyable walking tour of Brighton - We spent an enjoyable hour and a half wandering round Brighton with Russell. He shared his knowledge of Brighton with us including little known facts and certainly took us into alleyways and lanes that we would have missed otherwise.
