Important Operational Information

How It Works

For groups of 12 or more, you may send us an inquiry at booking@sightseeingo.com. Although we do not guarantee bulk deals for all our tours, there are some tours for which we can offer discounted pricing. Ordinary hop-on-hop-off bus tickets are entitled to group savings. Attractions, pass items and combo tickets aren't.

Due the nature of this type of tour and varying demand, group travellers should be aware that there is no guarantee that the group will be able to travel altogether as the available seats vary from stop to stop and depends on demand each day. The group may need to split up and/or wait for the next bus(s).

As, we cannot guarantee that the group shall be able to travel together as one group, therefore we will reduce the group size down to 4-5 smaller groups per ticket (depending upon group size).

We enjoyed our bus tour, with earphones provided to plug in at your seat for guided commentary. We completed the route so that we could decide where to hop off on our second circuit. We had a wonderful view sitting on the top deck, in the front seats which are under cover. The rest of the seats, on top, are open. It was showery day, so we were sheltered and comfortable despite being on top. A very good way of seeing Brighton and getting your bearings if, like us, you are first time visitors there. We boarded at the beginning of the tour, on the sea front near the pier. However, it took us 10 minutes to find the bus stop and had to ask a local kiosk owner before we found it. We had already walked past it, not noticing. It's just a normal bus sign. You have to look closely before you notice that the sight-seeing bus stops there. A good way of exploring Brighton. We would have only seen a fraction of the city if we hadn't done this tour. Reasonably priced in comparison to others.
