Highlights

What makes Brighton unique? The beach pebbles...a bizarre fairytale palace...eccentric characters...lesbian and gay life...Green politics...vibrant graffiti...colourful Regency architecture...the feeling that you're somewhere a bit... different ? Only in Brighton! is a 90-minute fact-filled and tongue-in-cheek walk around the main sights and hidden corners of the city. For the visitor, it is an insider's introduction; for those that already know the city, it's a revelation and celebration. This is a small group tour (max 12) for a high quality experience.

  • 5Brilliant tour of LGBTQ+ history

    I went on the Piers and Queers walking tour, led extremely entertainingly, by Ric Morris. The information about the lives and histories of a range of LGBTQ+ people across a wide span of time, was fascinating, well-researched and presented. I felt it was an excellent timeline showing how once being queer in any sense had to be hidden and denied, compared to our experience of today when you can buy same-sex wedding cards in WHSmith! I loved the way Ric illustrated the stories at each stop and his great use of quotes. I went with a friend, who like me, is also a Tour Guide, and we both thought this was a fantastic experience

  • 5First tour after the lockdown

    I really enjoyed this tour. Learned a lot about Brighton as it was my first visit. Definitely glad I listened to his advice about visiting the Royal pavilion from the inside. Would like to book other Ric's tours as well.

    Rick was friendly, engaging, funny entertaining and warm. He pitched the tour perfectly. We have been to Brighton many times but saw different places and learnt many facts. There were 10 of us in the group from different cultural backgrounds and Rick managed this well. He chatted to each of us and took time to explain the context of the information he was sharing. The folder of pictures to support the discussion was interesting and engaging. The tour lasted and hour and 20 minutes. It went quickly, it wasn't rushed but was perfectly timed. I would recommend this tour and hope some friends will go

    I took my parents on this tour for their anniversary, having had their honeymoon in Brighton, and as i now live in the city. As my aunty and uncle were in town they also came along! We all really enjoyed the pace and variety of information, it was interesting for both those that know Brighton well and first time visitors. It gave us lots to talk about over dinner afterwards!

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.
