This was the second tour these past couple of days with Brighton Bike Tours. Both Cecilly and Duncan put a fantastic tour together. The laminated pictures to give more perspective to the historic areas was pretty much the icing on the cake! Thoroughly enjoyed the City Tour (lots of Brighton history info), and Costal Tour was so scenic. We stopped over at a small pictersque pub in Rottingdean, and that was a nice touch on the already scenic tour.

We had a great time biking across the lovely coasts of Brighton, it was a nice and a moderately sunny day, with the waves occasionally splashing on us to add to our excitement!! Our guides- Cecily and Duncan were very sweet and helpful through out, we weren’t a seasoned bike riders and took some extra time to reach the destinations and they were always around chatting and making us feel a part of the group ❤️ Also they were so kind to capture some of our bike riding moments which we will cherish for ever! Thank you Cecily and Duncan for such a wonderful experience 🙏😍 Thank you Nilima and Prathibha

Duncan brought our family for an enjoyable coastal bike tour. During the trip, he explained a lot of history of Brighton with pictures of the early years. We were lucky to have a bright sunny morning with mild wind and it is highly recommended to enjoy Brighton by bicycle.

Lovely way to get in the highlights of Brighton. Felt like a local and safe, kind guide, mostly level riding, plenty of breaks for information and a sip of water.

We had a fabulous bike tour with Cicely. I was a little anxious as I had not been on a bike for a long time. All was fine and we could not have asked for more. Brighton has lots of wonderful bike lanes making everything very accessible. Despite knowing Brighton, it was so good to get a more detailed history and learn more about it and by cycling you got to know how everything joined up. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn about Brighton and get a feeling for your surroundings. Thank you Cicely and Duncan for providing such a memorable afternoon.

We walked around Brighton before the tour began but wold never have gotten to know Brighton like we did if we hadn't spent the afternoon riding with Cecily. she was very sweet, knowledgeable and we would have missed the best parts of the city if we didn't have her guidance. Biking with a local is definitely the best way to really feel you have gotten to know a town. Duncan and Cecily. were great and the bikes were comfortable..

Duncan, the tour guide, made this Tour. His local knowledge and stopping at all the key places made for an exceptional tour

Yesterday we had a wonderful team day out with Ian and Duncan as our cycle guides. 14 people all different levels enjoyed a gentle ride through the city and along the beach front to Rottingdean where some of us had a swim in the bay and then we all lunch at the White Horse overlooking the bay. It’s an easy flat 4 miles each way ride and our guides made it very interesting with their local knowledge. We had an absolutely wonderful time
