The weather was not perfect but the guide, Adam was great trying to best plan for the day considering the weather conditions and provide lots of historical background making the trip fun. Also the mini bus was a top quality making the ride very comfy. Definitely recommend and I'll be back in a summer time.

It’s one of the most amazing and intense trip I had in UK. Adam is the best! He makes sure that all guests will make the most memorable time despite the weather. If given a chance, I would love to do this tour again on a different season. All the places we visited are beautiful and captivating! ❤️❤️❤️

Much much better experience than I expected given some of the reviews I saw online. I'm glad we ignored negative reviews and went to see for ourselves! Our little girl enjoyed it and we wouldn't mind going again.

Really well thought out treasure hunt that helped us find places in Brighton that we wouldn’t have found ourselves.

Interesting views. The pod was also interesting to ride in.
