I love Brighton, and spending time by the beach is both relaxing and fun. So get ready for some sun, sand, and exhilaration.

Start your adventure in London before heading to the vibrant seaside town of Brighton. Once there, the fun continues at the iconic Brighton Pier, a 1,722-foot-long Victorian masterpiece packed with thrills and nostalgia. Explore arcades, enjoy classic rides, and soak up stunning sea views as your host shares fascinating stories of the pier's past. Don't forget to try your luck at winning quirky prizes!

Next, it's time to chill out in Brighton Beach. Spread out your blanket, soak up the sun, and listen to the soothing sound of the waves. If you're up for some adventure, the beach offers plenty of activities like kayaking, paddle boarding, and beach volleyball. 

Feeling hungry? Indulge in Brighton's famous fish and chips, donuts or ice cream right on the pier. Whether you prefer a sit-down meal with sea views or a casual bite, there's something for every palate. 

After sampling some delicious local food, explore the vibrant Churchill Square Shopping Centre, Brighton's premier shopping destination. With over 70 shops offering everything from high-street fashion to unique local finds, there's something for everyone. Your host will navigate you through the bustling centre, helping you discover the perfect souvenirs and gifts. Conveniently located near the beach and train station, Churchill Square is the ideal place for a relaxed shopping spree.

Wrap up your Brighton experience with a visit to the awe-inspiring Brighton i360. This futuristic observation tower offers unbeatable panoramic views of the city and beyond. Glide up to 138 meters in a spacious glass pod and marvel at the 360° vistas of the sea, the South Coast, and the lively city below. If you're lucky enough to catch the sunset, you're in for a spectacular treat.

Throughout the day, your local host will sprinkle in insider tips, uncover hidden gems, and tailor the experience to your interests, making your visit to Brighton uniquely memorable. From soaking up the sun on the beach and indulging in delicious seaside snacks to shopping till you drop and enjoying breathtaking views from the i360, this Brighton adventure promises to be a day full of fun, discovery, and unforgettable moments.

It was great to have JJ pick out the right foods to eat as well as give us the background and history of London.

He shared his wealth of information entertaining 4 teenage boys with the history of Great Britain and highlights of London. Then we moved on to Borough Market where he showed us all the best eats with a little history mixed in. We ended the tour at a local pub, with a pint, stories, laughs, and a new friend! Thanks JJ!

She thoughtfully planned out the tour for me based on what I was interested in. She was very knowledgable about the areas we went to and made recommendations for other places to go after my tour and for future trips. The tea and scones we had were also delicious! I will definitely recommend this to anyone I know who is traveling to London :)
