Free Brighton Walking Tour

Do you want to join the only Brighton free tour with a born and bred Brightonian? What’s more his family have lived here for at least 480 years! Nat always found Brighton and its history fascinating, and after exploring the world himself he could think of nothing better than to show Brighton back to the world. And what’s not to love about a city with an extravagant royal palace and stables, the world’s oldest electric railway and aquarium, a party every night of the week and of course the beach! He therefore founded Free Walking Tours Brighton – Real Brighton Tours, completely run by one guy, where a percentage of earnings even go to a local homeless charity.   

The Best of Brighton Walking Tour explores the highs and lows of Brighton history.  Whether you’re looking for a disappearing turkey, dolphins that look like fish, horses given their own palace, a brewer burnt in a barrel and a ninja river, the Best of Brighton Walking Tour has it all.  

The Murder, Malice and Mystery Tour dares you to explore the darker side of Brighton’s history. Legs found in a suitcase, bodies disappearing with literally no trace and the whole of the government almost bombed into smithereens. Attend only if you think you are brave enough! 

Nat loves to make his tours funny and engaging so forget boring history classes. The well researched tours draw on Nat's experience with both history and acting and are accompanied by pictures to bring the locations alive.  So book your space now!

Nathaniel was a cheerful, informative and enthusiastic guide for our Brighton tour. His historical knowledge of the town was second to none, and his delivery was amusing and concise. The tour was just the right length, leaving us feeling it was certainly a worthwhile trip through Brighton. Would highly recommend! Carol B

Super way to spend a couple of hours in Brighton, finding out more about the city and its history. Nat is a true local and is very knowledgeable and passionate about Brighton and has some great facts and stories to tell, some them including his relatives! Been on a few walking tours now in various cities and this one ranks up there with the best. Thanks Nat TheSouth18
