5.00Julien was terrific, a native “Brightoner”with great stories and historical knowledge to share. The hour+ tour was a delight as Julien provided great background and trivia about Brighton. Highly recommended.

3.00Good tour overall, guide was pleasant. However, the tour ended early and thus I cannot give more than 3 stars.
Insightful and enjoyable!

5.00This was a fun, fascinating tour by a life-long Brighton resident who knows all the Brighton stories (and helps clarify which are fact and which are fiction). I had walked around Brighton for a couple of days, but Justin showed us places I had walked by and completely missed. Highly recommended by this American tourist (and the three Brits on our tour seemed equally impressed!)

5.00I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Julian was a delight, full of stories of the history of Brighton, and we saw things I never would have found on my own. The meeting point was easy to find, the tour was well-paced, and I appreciated his recommendations for restaurants and shops. Highly recommended if you want to see more than just the seafront!
Great overview of Brighton

5.00Insightful and interesting walk to the main sights and places, funny and sympathetic tour guide. A big surprise was that I got a private tour as all other participants cancelled maybe because of the weather...
