      Fantastic Day Trip from London
      A long, but really fantastic day trip away from London. We were blessed with beautiful weather yesterday Thursday 30/1/25 (sun, no rain, no wind!). Definitely a worthwhile experience if you have time. All the guides were friendly and helpful and made the day enjoyable

      Perfectly planned and timed tour at the Seven Sisters Cliffs
      The trip was excellent and well planned. Paul was a fantastic guide and let us explore the place ourselves. The stop at Midland farm was a great choice and overall, the journey was easy and comfortable. Highly recommended!

      Stunning views!
      We took the Seven Sisters and South Downs tour on December 9th. The whole trip was very well organized and the guides were very knowledgeable. We saw the Devil's Dyke, the Long Man of Wilmington, the White Horse, and the Seven Sisters Cliffs which is stunning! The weather wasn't so great but we expected it. Overall it was an awesome trip and very recommended!

      Seven sisters second time
      Another excellent time with these guys, this was the 3rd time I’ve took this tours did the Sussex one as well and seven sisters twice. The guy who met us at London bridge ticket office was really nice(wish I had his name) made sure keep us updated when we suppose to leave and where is he at the train incase any problem may happen. Brighton is lovely city people are extremely nice, we had Adam as our guide full of knowledge patient, Friendly, made sure were not too cold or too hot at the bus. The tour it self takes around 6 hours the seven sisters are gorgeous one of the places I’m willing to go back over and over and over without hesitation. The only problem was we were stopped for a lunch break at the nice village called alferston or something similar. The pub we’ve been told there gonna be decent food for my opinion was awful, how much can you screw a burger? Well apparently you can. Amazing tour worth every penny just as my personal opinion bring your own lunch .

      So worth it! A must see!
      This tour is so worth it! This was our 2nd trip to London and we wanted to explore outside of the city. We met Tom in London who guided us on the train to Brighton, where we then met with our guide/driver Adam. Adam was fantastic, he was very informative and made sure everyone was comfortable. He took the time to explain the cool sites and landscape. Although windy and rainy, it was beautiful and worth it if you want a different cultural experience. The food and drinks we had were fresh and delicious, the local cider tasting was very cool, and of course we had to bring home some local mead!

      Incredible Memories Visiting the Seven Sisters, South Downs & Sussex
      My husband & I visited the Seven Sisters, South Downs, and Sussex and it was nothing short of magical, thanks to our relaxed and personable guide. From the very beginning, they set the tone for an unhurried, enjoyable experience, ensuring we could fully immerse ourselves in the breathtaking beauty of the landscape. The views of the chalk cliffs were jaw-dropping, and the South Downs countryside was serene and lush—truly a feast for the eyes. What made the tour extra special was our stop at the Middle Farm in Meade for a hot tea & lunch. They gave us ample time to take plenty of photos at the beautiful cliff sides and beaches, soak in the scenery, and ask questions without ever making us feel rushed. It felt more like exploring with a knowledgeable friend than a formal tour. If you’re looking for a tour that lets you truly savor the experience without the hustle of rigid schedules, this is it. The Seven Sisters and South Downs are stunning. Highly recommend!

      Enjoyable day seeing the villages and listening to the stories told to us by Paul our guide/driver, who was excellent throughout the day with his knowledge of the area. After being in London, it was nice to see the beautiful English countryside.

      What a great tour! We loved the cliffs, seeing local sites and learning about the area from our very knowledgeable tour guide, Adam. If you like exploring and want to get away from the hustle of the city, book this tour. It really made our vacation special and memorable.

      Gorgeous views of the coast
      A wonderful day exploring the coast. Our tour guide, Adam, was so great and personable. Always willing to answer questions and offer any recommendations we asked about. Such beautiful views from different areas. Such a gorgeous area of the country that we didn't know was there.

      Above and beyond service
      The tour alone would have merited a 5 star rating. Our guide was knowledgeable, personable, and even showed us a few interesting historical sites, not on the itinerary to personalize our Experience. The highlight, however, was something I didn’t expect. I had left my phone on the tour bus. Losing your phone in a foreign country is a calamity I would not wish on anyone. The driver not only contacted me to let me know its whereabouts, the tour owner personally boarded a train an hour from Sussex to London , met me at the station near my hotel and brought me my phone thank you so much for saving my trip !

      Spectacular!!!!
      We had an amazing time! Adam was the best tour guide. He took his time and explained all the area with us.he was pleasant and you could tell he loved the scenery and was happy at his job! He took care of us and made sure we were all ok with the walking routes. There were 5 of us that were all seniors and he made sure there was something for everyone. He entertained us with local folklore and stories and I would highly recommend him to anyone - this tour is beautiful and scenic. If you love nature you will love this tour. Not too difficult of a walk but we did sit and admire some beautiful sights while others ventured further down the paths. Well worth taking!!!! Thank you Adam,

      Great day trip to t
      A very enjoyable day ! No glitches from the meet-up at the train station in London to the drop off at the station in Brighton. A very clean and up to date bus. And the weather was perfect. Guide Kevin did a great job showing us the sights and explaining the history an geology of Sussex. He also gave some insightful context to life in the UK in times past and the present. A wonderful host for the day. We highly recommend this trip.

      Fantastic tour with a great guide
      Kevin was an excellent guide. He took us throughout Sussex county and provided great details along the way, especially about the chalk hills we were traveling on a nd that greated the cliffs. This was a small group tour which made it even better. There were a number of stops, Kevin walked at a speed appropriate for his guests (some of us were old and slow). He was very knowledgeable, provided just the right amount of detailed and answered everyone's questions. He took us to both sides of the cliffs to allow for 2 different perspectives. It is windy, so be prepared. The Seven Sisters cliffs are definitely white, whereas the White Cliffs of Dover have greyed over the years.

    Amazing full-day tour! The tour bus was very clean and promptly departed. I was a bit concerned that we would spend more time on the bus than off, but that was not the case. We spent plenty of time exploring and visiting some of the most beautiful and scenic sites. Our tour guide, Kevin, was very informative, knowledgeable and accommodating, and had a great sense of humor. He knew all of the best photo spots. If you're thinking about touring the South Downs area, we highly recommend Brighton & Beyond Tours. Thanks, Kevin, for helping to make this one of our most memorable experiences!

    One of the best UK trips that I have ever done. 🥰

    I have always seen this hike online and from friends doing it, but never had the chance to do it myself.

    What a beautiful experience!
    100% a must do in the UK.

    Started at 11am from Seaford town.
    We walked about 60minutes up the first cliff (or so we thought) but it turned out to be an extra one.
    However on the way down, we stumbled across the cutest little seaside cottage serving refreshments, with sculptures and art to view, run by a lovely couple.

    Two coffees & two yummmmmy home made cakes for £10 with an amaaaazing view of the cliffs from their 200yr old beach house. #STUNNING

    Then next part of the hike took us inland, along the river path, (as you could not cross it) so this took a good 60-90mins extra.
    It was a beautiful day; so we weren’t bothered, but we hadn’t thought of the extra time ahead of scheduled.

    The rest of the trip took us about 3hours.
    The beat 30,000 steps achieved from Seaford town library to Eastbourne (The Cumberland hotel) 🩵

    *parking in Eastbourne was free on a Sunday.
    (Bus from outside The Cumberland Hotel) to Seaford Library took about 30mins.

    We booked the Brighton and Beyond Seven Sisters small group tour for our friends who were visiting from the US. The four of us had a fantastic day. Lawrence is very knowledgeable, interesting to listen to, and could answer any of our questions. The day turned out to be quite nice and mostly sunny, but since there was a chance the clouds would move in later, Lawrence rearranged the itinerary to get us to the best view of the chalk cliffs early on while the sun was still with us. The tour is well worth the time and money and we would highly recommend others to go with Lawrence, and Brighton and Beyond, to see the Seven Sisters and surrounding countryside. Thank you Lawrence!

    From the moment the lovely Ish picked us up and escorted us on the train from London Bridge to Brighton, our day trip with Brighton and Beyond was simply perfect. The van was comfortable and Lawrence, our driver was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, pointing interesting things out as we went along. The tour took us to many outdoor sites in the area beyond Brighton: Devil’s Dyke, The Long Man of Wilmington, Beachy Head, Birling Gap with views of the Seven Sisters, but the best spot was one that most people don’t even know about called Seaford Head Cliff Walk, which provided us with the most incredible views of the Seven Sisters with the late afternoon sun shining upon them. We were able to walk down to the beach and Lawrence understood that it was important for us to have some time there, just soaking in the atmosphere of such a beautiful spot (his idea). We stopped at a lovely working farm called Middle Farm where we were able to have lunch or tea and peruse their gift shop, brewery, etc. The end of the trip was spent driving along the sea and through the city of Brighton before being dropped off at the train station to make our way back to London at our leisure (train tickets provided as part of the cost of the trip). I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who is interested in the history, topography, geography and culture of South East England. It was an amazing day out that I will never forget! Five Stars for Brighton and Beyond!

    Me and my father decided to try and book this tour, because my father wanted to see the Seven Sisters. And we did not regret going on the tour. We went yesterday, the 27th of september. First of all we want to thank Kevin, our guide, for an amazing day. It was clear how knowledgeable he was. He told some Great stories about the places we visited, and was very clear in the Way he spoke. Given the fact that we are from Denmark, english is not our first language so it was nice to be able to understand every word. Other than that he was an excellent driver, we felt safe the whole way. And he just knew alot of fun facts as well about the places. And showed us alot of stuff we wouldn’t have been able to find on our own. He was a Great guy to talk to, and you could have conversations with him as well, which is Great! Thanks alot to Kevin, for a great day. And to Brighton and beyond tours, it was a well put together trip, we can highly recommend other people to take it!

    Such a perfect day out! Kevin is fantastic, we couldn't have asked for a better guide - he made the day so fun and interesting, full of stories and knowledge about the area. We got so lucky with the weather, the sun shining made the beautiful views even more spectacular. Our group was great, so a lovely way to meet people. The minibus was also quite luxurious and unlimited bottles of water are provided, which was a nice bonus.

    My husband and I took the Seven Sisters tour from Brighton. The pick up location was easy to find and the tour company sent a reminder email complete with a directions option the day before the tour. We had no problem finding our guide and driver, Paul. We had to wait for the group coming down from London as the train was delayed. Paul comminicated with the whole group regarding the delay and how it would affect our day. Once we were all loaded in the van, off we went to our first stop. Paul's commentary, history and general information as we went along was wonderful. Paul was happy to answer questions from the group, take photos and remind us of our return time. The weather even co operated! The van was comfortable, and climate control was amazing! Paul was very organized with our belongings as we went along. At no time were we left feeling rushed! As members of our group asked questions and made comments, Paul adapted his commentary to suit all of us.

    I highly recommend our guide, Paul. He was charming, and loaded with relevant information. The Seven Sister hills are well worth seeing from the various viewpoints we were brought to. Warning -- the van has small seats and no one overweight would fit in them or fit down the aisle. Our group was all trim enough to fit, but it was a tight squeeze into the back row. I don't think they should sell seats in the back row as those four seats are crammed in there. It was worth it for the incredible views and the excellent guide.

    What a great trip! What a wonderful guide! This itinerary hit all my desired sites with time allowed to explore, wander, and photograph. Guide, Adam, was exceptional in his commentary and friendliness. Our small group, totaling around 13, traveled in comfort at a perfect pace. Gorgeous countryside and interesting history. Don’t miss this superior experience and the natural beauty of Sussex.

    I'm not normally a fan of tours, because i feel they are somewhat limiting and limited by fellow travellers and the knowledge and enthusiasm of the guide. This tour excelled my expectations.
    My husband, Phil had booked the tour as a birthday treat while we were in Brighton, and from stepping onto the 15 seater tour bus, our tour guide, Adam made us feel welcome, and assured us of a good time with what to expect from the outset.
    We were forewarned to wear sturdy footwear as a moderate degree of walking was required to access the wonderful views.
    Adam's knowledge, professionalism and enthusiasm for the local area were enlightening without being overly tedious.
    I had an absolutely brilliant time yomping around the Sussex countryside and taking in all the wonderful views.
    Can't recommend this tour highly enough, if only as a starter to exploring "Brighton and Beyond"!
