Fantastic experience: Ric’s Piers and Queers LGBTQ+ tour of Brighton was absolutely wonderful. His knowledge of the history, personalities, and quotable quotes behind gay Brighton is impressive. In addition, we found Ric to be attentive, well-prepared and easily able to field all of our questions. We had a thoroughly enjoyable and fascinating afternoon. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: We really appreciated the opportunity to get a tour learning about the queer history of brighton. We particularly liked how Ric included storys of gay, lesbian and trans people, while being very aware of his language and having a poignant critical view on past and present circumstances. 100% recommend!
Fantastic experience: The guide was very friendly and seemed to have a lot of knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject. I heard a lot of interesting stories and I'm satisfied with the tour :)
Fantastic experience: Secrets of the Lanes was just that. Ric was an excellent guide. I was solo on this tour and completely interested in what was shared. I bought his book and plan on doing one of the suggested walks today; and have rabbit eared others for future visits. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Ric was terrific. So many great stories about people and places in LGBTQ+ history in Brighton. My husband and I had a wonderful experience. So glad we heard about the tour and booked ahead.
Fantastic experience: The walking tour "queers and piers" was very interesting and gives another view on brighton, the queer history of the city is stunning and rich, unbelievable that all these informations about the secret life of those people where preserved. Rick was very nice and answered all my additional questions nicely and made sure, we walked in the shadow as much as possible, as it was a hot day. Thanks Rick!
Fantastic experience: It was a very interesting tour. Not too long and not too short and well worth the money. I am really glad I went on the tour. I thought I knew a little about Brighton before going on this tour. It turns out I did not. I know a lot more now. Who would have thought that a few pebbles on a scrap of land where it meets the sea could yield such a regal and pioneering metropolis.
Fantastic experience: Ric was an absolute delight to spend time with, and his knowledge was seriously impressive! We loved our tour and heartily recommend him! Such fun and fab learning. Thank you so much Ric!
Fantastic experience: Ric had great knowledge and provided a wonderful local tour. It was great to learn more about queer history in Brighton and Ric made the tour informative, fun, and well worth while. I definitely would recommend (:
Fantastic experience: Ric was a brilliant guide. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and happy to answer questions. His tour was a great experience and helps you see and find things you otherwise wouldn't in the lanes.
Fantastic experience: Informative and with deep understanding of history and gay history of Brighton. Had a fun time!
Fantastic experience: We would definitely recommend going on Ric's Piers and Queers tour. We learnt so much about the local LGBTQ+ history which we wouldn't have known about otherwise. Ric showed great passion and love for all the history and LGBTQ+ knowledge which came across in how he spoke with such love for Brighton and our LGBTQ+ community.
Fantastic experience: A really interesting and informative snippet of Brighton over the centuries with a wonderfully warm host who could answer anything and everything. Thank you Ric!
Positive experience: The tour with Ric was really informative and full of interesting facts about Brighton and what makes it what it is today. Would recommend to anyone visiting Brighton. :)
Fantastic experience: Ric was so friendly and gave an excellent tour. We loved hearing the unique detail and history he shared on the 1.5 hour route around the lanes - great pub recommendations too!
Fantastic experience: Ric was early & easy to find at exactly the place he shared to meet. Wonderful tour that even held the attention of my teenagers! He was a fabulous tour guide with tales supported by photos on his tablet that he brought along. Greatly enhanced our experience in Brighton! Love the seaside city, love the diversity, love the history, & loved having Ric as our guide. Please share a tip with Ric for me too if you have a bit to spare, as I managed to leave my purse in the car/thought I'd lost it! He definitely deserves it & is worth scheduling the tour with him!
Fantastic experience: I had a lovely time on this tour in Brighton! I came in mid-November, which is perhaps risky weather-wise but I happened to come down on a sunny, beautiful day! Ric was a lovely host, starting off in Regency Square. I went into this tour a bit blind, so I was delighted to learn that many famous queer people have spent time in Brighton! It was really cool to learn about the history of the places these people used to reside. This was an excellent way to be introduced to the city and I can't wait to come back one day and explore all the nooks and crannies that this gorgeous seaside city has to offer.
Fantastic experience: This was a very informative and interesting tour and well worth the money . Really feel like I know so much more about Brighton and history in general. Ric was really knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Thanks Ric for the great tour! Interesting and enjoyable, it was the perfect way to kick off our weekend in Brighton
Fantastic experience: We had a great time on this tour I love the inclusion of trans stories too, it’s the perfect length and Ric is brilliant at explaining the stories, I won’t soon forget all I learnt! If you’re looking for a gay Brighton tour this is the one to do. It was even raining and windy and that didn’t ruin our experience at all!
Fantastic experience: Ric led us on an enthused and fascinating tour of Brighton’s LGBT history. Who knew it stretched back so far. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Brighton
Fantastic experience: Rick is funny, personable and knowledgeable. I went on the Peers and Queers tour and he fielded all my questions and more. I would totally recommend his services.
Fantastic experience: We really enjoyed the LGBT+ Brighton tour. Ric is really knowledgeable and friendly. We learned lots. A great way to explore the city.
Fantastic experience: Really wonderful tour! Amusing and informative. Thank you Ric!
Fantastic experience: Enjoyed an excellent tour of LGBTQ+ history in Brighton (the Piers and Queers Tour). Ric was very friendly and delivered the tour expertly, in an easily understood manner that still went into great depth and treated the subject matter with respect. The stories told were incredibly interesting, and I found myself talking non-stop about them throughout the next few days! You can tell that the tour has been researched very well, with lots of small anecdotes and fun facts adjacent to the main subject matter. I highly recommend this tour, and any other tours Ric provides.
Fantastic experience: This is a great tour! We managed to see several parts of Brighton in just 90min. We found Ric to be very knowledgeable, he had lots of great stories about specific characters from the history of Brighton and specific buildings as well. The stories were so well told that we felt like we were traveling back in time. The tour ended with an uplifting note that we particularly liked. We could have easily spent another hour listening to Ric. We highly recommend it for anyone who wants to get to know the history of Brighton! Thanks so much!
Fantastic experience: Very enjoyable and entertaining walk through the streets of Brighton. Highly recommended whether you are a visitor to Brighton or a resident. A very enjoyable, informative tour by Ric.
Fantastic experience: Great tour's with plenty of information.
Fantastic experience: Had the most brilliant small group tour of LGBTQ+ Tour of Brighton yesterday with Ric. I was born and live here, yet learnt so much more about Brighton's history. Ric was very professional and friendly. His attention to details with facts, figures and dates without any notes was breathtaking. He also made sure everyone in the group was happy and the older members went at a pace that was comfortable. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Brighton to get the most out of your trip.
Negative experience: 1.10 h tour for 10 Pounds. Our guide Rick didn't seem very enthusiastic about his work and thus his speech was more like listening to a robot. Also the content was not very convincing. All in all I do not recommend this tour.
Hi Marie.I'm sorry the tour didn't live up to your expectations, so I have arranged a full refund.Someone who came on the same evening gave a 5/5 review on another site and described me as 'a warm and lively host'. I have 112 reviews on that site with an average rating of 5/5, so I'm not sure what's gone wrong on this occasion?I'm not sure what you mean by 'convincing', but this particular tour focuses on the unusual stories and fun facts rather than the more historical focus of my other Brighton tours. But I can assure you that all the information is well-researched and absolutely true.I would also add that the tour finished exactly at the advertised time.Ric
