Entertaining tour of how “terrible” Brighton history is!!

5.00Michael 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.
A fun informative few hours

5.00Such 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.
A must have for newcomers

5.00Michael 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.
