Paris Old Town and Latin Quarter Guided Walking Tour
When Ben from our BugBitten team walked this Left Bank route, it delivered exactly what Paris walking tours should: a genuine local guide steering you through Saint Germain des Prés and the Latin Quarter without the usual tourist crush. Three hours covers the neighbourhood's bohemian history (cafés where writers actually hung out), Roman ruins tucked behind modern streets, and WW2 tales that give the cobblestones real weight. The route finishes at a proper crêperie, and you'll taste artisanal food stops along the way. It's the kind of tour that feels less like ticking boxes and more like a mate showing you their city.

Escape Game in Bordeaux with Game Master dedicated
When Mia from our BugBitten team ran this outdoor escape game in Bordeaux, we were expecting a gimmick — but it genuinely shifts how you see the city. Instead of being locked in a room, your team spreads across Bordeaux's cobblestone quarters solving puzzles that tie into real landmarks and history. A dedicated Game Master keeps things moving and atmospheric over 90 minutes, and you leave with GoPro footage of the whole thing on SD card. It's the kind of activity that works for groups who want something more active than a museum crawl but still want that puzzle-solving buzz.

Giverny by Monet A Unique Walking Tour by an Actor Guide
When Ben from our BugBitten team wandered Giverny, an actor portraying Claude Monet himself led the way—not as a guide in the traditional sense, but as a theatrical presence moving through the village where the painter spent his final years. This isn't a straightforward history lesson; it's a performance exploring Monet's later life, his obsession with capturing light, and the paradox of reinvention after fame. The tour threads through Giverny's streets for around an hour, blending character work with the landscape that defined his work. It's a neat concept for anyone curious about Monet's mind rather than just his paintings.

Unique Adventure Immersive Track Game in Lyon
When Em from our team ran this track game through Lyon's Old Town, we got a proper feel for how well a location-based puzzle hunt can shake up the standard sightseeing grind. You're working through the city in teams, solving riddles and challenges that send you ducking into traboules (those sneaky Renaissance passageways Lyon's famous for) and less-obvious corners of the Vieux Lyon district. The format strips away screens and app fatigue — it's all about movement, observation, and figuring things out on foot. The 2.5-hour window keeps momentum up without dragging, and it genuinely suits groups after a laugh as much as couples after something a bit different from the museum circuit.
