    "We have benefited from having Marc Gardiner as the official tour guide for our Brighton & Hove Jewish history tours. His extensive knowledge, infectious enthusiasm, and friendly demeanour have made the tours all the more memorable. Marc effortlessly navigates through historic details and fascinating anecdotes, and ensures that everyone feels engaged and included on every tour. A remarkable guide - highly recommended!"

    Jasmin Aziz, BNJC (Brighton & Hove Jewish Community)

    "Marc is knowledgeable, articulate and very likeable. We have done both the Brighton and Hove walks (Brighton twice) and each time we learnt something that we didn't know before. Marc goes at a pace that suits everyone, and is very amenable to everyone's needs. He is full of interesting facts and imparts knowledge in a friendly, chatty manner. He managed to keep the group engaged and interested for the entire time, and left everyone vowing to book him again. I would have no hesitation in recommending Marc."
