  • 5Fantastic cycle, great tour

    We just did the coastal tour with Cicley! It was a beautiful day, along a safe cycle path with great views. Cicely stopped along the way with great snippets of local history and interesting points to see. She was a really lovely guide. The gentleman passing out the bikes was very friendly too. Highly recommend!

    Our guide was very nice and knowledgable. The tour allowed us to see parts of Brighton we would not have seen on our own and it was informative and fun.

    One of the best tours we ever did. The owner was a delight to listen to. She even has a beautiful singing voice when she did a poem of Kipling. Absolute must do, when in Brighton

About Brighton

Brighton, on the Sussex coast, is a lively seaside city of pebble beach, Regency architecture, a pier and narrow shopping lanes.

Brighton grew from a fishing village into a fashionable resort in the eighteenth century, and in the early nineteenth the Prince Regent, later George IV, rebuilt his seaside villa as the Royal Pavilion, an Indian-style palace with domes and minarets over an interior in Chinese taste. Palace Pier, which opened in 1899, stretches out over the sea with arcades and rides, and the pebble beach, lined with deckchairs and cafés, runs below the seafront promenade.

Top-ranked sights in Brighton: Devil’s Dyke, Royal Pavilion, Brighton Dome.
