Who is behind this site

Oliver Bennett, Brighton bus tour guide and local sightseeing specialist, on the open-top bus with Brighton Palace Pier behind

Oliver Bennett

Oliver is a Brighton local who has guided sightseeing around the city since 2022. He has shown the pier, the Pavilion, the Lanes and the seafront to well over a thousand visitors, most of them here for the first time and short on time. His ground is the practical craft of a good day out: which stop to hop off at, which sight repays a slow look and which is better admired from the top deck, and how to tie a scattered coastal city into one easy loop. Ask him what makes the tour worth it and the answer is short. Good views, honest commentary, and a ticket that keeps working on the normal buses.

What Oliver does and does not do here

Plainly: Oliver guides sightseeing in Brighton, but he is not the voice on the City Sightseeing bus. That tour uses recorded commentary in seven languages, not a live guide. Oliver's role on this site is research and reporting. He has ridden the route, he knows the city firsthand, and he vets the featured listing the way a local professional would, without pretending to narrate a bus he does not work on.

That distinction matters to us. A guide claiming firsthand experience it does not have is the exact thing we built this site to avoid.

How this site checks its facts

Every figure on this site traces to a real source. The tour's rating, review count, route, stops, ticket rules, frequency, season and accessibility come from the operator's official Viator listing and cross-checked operator pages, and we re-check them rather than letting them drift. Where a value moves, like the price for a given date and currency, we send you to the live listing instead of freezing a number that could go stale.

Attraction facts work the same way. Details for the Royal Pavilion and the i360 come from those venues' own pages, and where we could not verify something we say so instead of guessing. Prices you see quoted are attributed to their source.

How this site makes money

When you book through links here, you land on the operator's official Viator or GetYourGuide listing and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That is the entire model. It does not change your price, and it does not soften what we tell you about the tour. The full note is on the affiliate disclosure page.
