Matt is a local guide who knows the hidden gems, most scenic routes and the best pubs, tearooms and cafes in East Sussex. We have included an indicative itinerary in the Tour Details passing through 7 of our favourite Secret Sussex spots. However, this private tour can be totally adapted to suit the interests, wishes and physical capabilities of the clients.

So, if it’s history that excites you we can focus on castles, historic buildings and monuments. If you want to sample English ale and pubs we can visit local breweries and the best village inns. If you love to stretch your legs we can include walks to beauty spots with fantastic views. If you prefer to admire the scenery from a car we can drive along hidden country lanes.

Each tour will start with a briefing session during which the guide will offer suggestions but will also listen to ideas from the clients to enable a truly unique tour. The guide will also adapt the tour in the light of adverse weather conditions.

We had a wonderful day in Sussex with Matt. We visited the Seven Sisters, The Long Man of Wilmington, the pretty villages of East Sussex and other places of interest. In addition Matt adapted his driving tour to include other places that we wished to see. With Matt’s pleasant disposition and knowledge we had a wonderful day. Highly recommended.

Matt was an absolute gem. He went out of his way to pick us up from our hotel in Brighton and we spent a wonderful day with him. He was completely open to our suggestions and had great ideas of what would make our visit perfect for us. We highly recommend!

My wife and I spent a delightful afternoon with Matt on a personalized tour that perfectly balanced driving and walking. We met in Lewes and traveled south to East Sussex, where we explored some truly stunning locations. The highlights of the tour included the breathtaking Seven Sisters cliffs and the intriguing Long Man of Wilmington. Along the way, we also visited charming villages, historic churches, and quaint towns that added to the overall experience. Matt was an absolute delight as a guide, sharing his extensive knowledge and making the tour both informative and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the beauty and history of East Sussex.

we were a group of 3-one wanted to walk along the cliffs and two wanted a shorter walk and a bit of driving in the area. Matt picked us up from the station and instantly configured a day that met all of our plans. He was so lovely and knows this area so well. It was a day trip for us from London and we will definitely plan another Sussex tour with Matt. Highly recommend!
Fabulous Sussex
