The overall experience was excellent. Below are the itinerary details and additional recommendations. After gathering at the station, the guide will lead everyone to the platform to board the train. Please remember the time and station where you need to get off (though the guide will also come to remind you during the ride). Upon arriving at Brighton Station, you will transfer to a 16-person minibus. At this point, you will switch to another guide (the driver). Guide Paul is fantastic—a local resident of Brighton—who provides detailed explanations and shares local stories and geological knowledge, helping us gain a deeper understanding of the White Cliffs and Brighton. Itinerary: Station集合-Train to Brighton-Transfer to minibus-Devil’s Dyke-Alfriston village for lunch-West side of the White Cliffs-East side of the White Cliffs-Wimington Long Man Each segment of the drive won’t take long (approximately 20-30 minutes), but the time spent at each location is a bit short (approximately 30-90 minutes). However, this is typical for a day trip—visiting many locations makes for a fulfilling experience! For lunch in the town, you’ll need to quickly choose a restaurant, otherwise you might end up rushing through your meal. The return train ticket has no time restrictions or designated station, so you don’t have to take it all the way to London Bridge. We got off at King’s Cross Station. 👍 When leaving, Paul offered two options (take the train back or stay in Brighton for a bit longer), and he was very kind to drive us to a place near the pier. However, it’s actually not too far to walk on your own. I recommend staying in Brighton to explore, take the i360 for the views, and enjoy some seafood. 👏 However, don't leave too late for the return trip. I suggest arriving at the station by 9:00–9:30 PM, as the 11:00 PM train is likely to be canceled (Paul recommended this, and we did see the 11:00 PM train canceled on our return).

From the moment we met our guide at the train station to our drop off point we felt so well taken care of! Ish met us and made sure we all got onto the train without any problem. He was very kind and attentive! Fantastic person to start our journey with. From there he dropped us off with our bus/travel guide Anton who was also very kind and thoughtful. We happened to be out and about during a very warm day but he made sure to provide us with water and a/c. He was knowledgeable and made a point to make sure everyone felt engaged. Would recommend this tour to others!
