Only in Brighton! Guided Walking Tour

If you’re looking to dig a little deeper into the city’s history beyond the usual spots, you might want to check out Ric Morris Tours. The main offering is the classic walking tour, aptly named “Only in Brighton!”, which focuses on celebrating the unique quirks of the city. What makes this service stand out is the guide himself, Ric Morris. He holds the Blue Badge Tourist Guide qualification, which is essentially the highest professional standard in the UK for guiding, covering Southern, South East England, and London. It’s good to know you’re getting someone who really knows their stuff, and the tour has been described by Latest magazine as “Fun, entertaining and well-informed.”

Ric’s expertise isn't just theoretical; he’s been living in Brighton since 2007, and he earned his Blue Badge accreditation back in 2012. He is also a published author, having written A-Z Hidden Brighton Walks, which Harper Collins put out in March 2023. This background means he brings a lot of specific, local knowledge to the walks. It’s also worth noting that his experience includes working on the Soho LGBTQ History Tour between 2001 and 2013, which provides context for one of his specialized routes.

Beyond the flagship tour, Ric Morris Tours offers two other specific walks: Piers and Queers, which delves into the city's LGBTQ+ history, and Secrets of the Lanes, focusing on those hidden passages we all love. If you decide to go, the tours generally run for about 80 minutes. They keep the groups manageable, capping them at 25 people, though if you’re planning on going with a larger group (8 or more), it’s best to book ahead. While the tours happen across Brighton, you often see references to Ric Morris Tours operating near Komedia in North Laine. The service is available continuously, with bookings open throughout 2026, so there’s plenty of time to fit one in.
