Itinerary

Our double-decker, open-roof buses provide an incredibly engaging audio tour with amazing statistics and information that not even many locals are aware of! You can choose to stay on the cosy and practical bus for the full loop, where you can take in the educational audio commentary, or you can get on and off at each destination along the route's several stops. Come along as we begin at the well-known Brighton Palace Pier, Bus Stop 1. If you want to stroll down a beach with shingle and sand that has funfairs, arcades, cafés, and stores, step off.

The tour provides a distinct taste of the city while winding through Brighton's ancient streets, which are lined with tasteful Regency architecture. It does this by providing a plethora of fascinating facts through amusing narration.

Enjoy the unique architecture as we pass King's Road, Grand Avenue, Palmeira Square, and Lansdowne Road from the comfort of our open-top buses. From there, we take the Seven Dials to Brighton Station and Brighton Clock Tower. Get off at Brighton Station to explore the distinctive retail options in North Laine, or continue your journey to the Clock Tower to shop in the enclosed Imperial Arcade in the heart of Brighton. This is not where the tour ends! As we travel past the gated communities of Brighton Marina, Royal Crescent, and Marine Parade, take in the expansive views of the coastline from the comfort of our buses.

Simply get off at any of the stations along the way and get back on again to finish the tour—at no additional cost—if you see something that catches your attention. It's entirely up to you whether you want to make a full day out of it or see everything in an hour.
