““I really enjoyed the tour bus in Brighton because it was a relaxing way to see all the main sights without having to worry about directions. The open-top view was fantastic, and the commentary using the headphones provided made it easy to learn interesting facts about the city.” “I felt it would have been even better if the bus staff gave a short welcome to all tourists when seated, before the bus set off, along with a brief introduction about the tour. This would make the experience feel more friendly and engaging.” overall it was enjoyable. Well recommend”

“I had an amazing experience touring Brighton & the seven sisters with Ash as our Go Tours guide. Throughout the day he made sure each of us had an amazing experience, as well as letting us know about any local tips or facts he thought would be interesting or useful. It added a lot more depth to the tour which I really appreciated. Ash was warm and approachable and had a great playlist for the trip. I would highly recommend this Brighton trip, as well as Ash as your tour guide for anyone doing it in the future. It definitely was a memorable day!”

1.5 hour boat ride from Newhaven Marina to see the Seven Sisters from the sea, with smuggler tales, wildlife, and a sea swim.
“Can’t recommend this trip highly enough! Seven Sisters with the surrounding area is stunning, and there is always a chance of spotting local wild life along the way.! Sarah’s knowledge was second to none, and her pride in her home locality was beautiful to hear. It was a great way to celebrate our 60th Wedding Anniversary. The boat’s capacity was small with a couple of kids which made it all the more special. Don’t miss this!”
Solve cryptic phone clues around Brighton with Captain Bess, paced to your group, hitting the Royal Pavilion, Pier, and The Lanes.
“Good value and easy to book. Some of the clues were very difficult to solve without the hints, particularly in a small group of only two people. I think a group of 3-6 people may be better. Some of the locations on the tour were also rather obscure and not the tourist spots I was expecting to see! This perhaps suits someone who knows Brighton well already and wants to see some of the less well-known things”
