Cannes: Sunset & Fireworks Night Cruise by Boat
When Charlie from our team tried this, the RIB left the harbour while the sun was still well up, and the real show started once the light began to soften over the water. The cruise runs for about two and a half hours and heads first towards the Lérins Islands, the low green lumps just offshore from Cannes, before turning back towards the bay. From there the boat holds roughly 300 metres from the fireworks barges of the Cannes Pyrotechnic Art Festival, close enough to feel the bangs in your chest but not so close that you're dodging debris. The setting does a lot of the heavy lifting: the palms and pale façades of the Croisette, the glint of moored yachts, and a steady stream of other boats doing the same loop. Because the group is kept small, it felt more like a private outing than a packed tourist trip. BugBitten's view is that it's a cracking way to spend an evening on the Riviera, as long as you know what you're signing up for on the water and come prepared for the weather and a bit of spray.

Guided Scooter Tour
Ride a modern scooter through the winding coastal roads of the Côte d'Azur on this two-hour guided tour. Your guide navigates you to the region's most striking viewpoints, balancing scenic stops with steady riding. The compact scooter handles steep terrain, and you'll feel the Mediterranean air as you move between villages and vistas. Helmet provided. A blend of motion and sightseeing, suited to those comfortable on two wheels.

Ride A Vespa Through Paris with a guide
When Em from our team tried this, she found the Vespa ride through Paris a relaxed way to take in the city's big landmarks without the slog of walking between them. The tour runs about 1 hour 30 minutes and opens with a short safety briefing before you set off behind local guide Raphaël, who leads on a motorcycle with a sidecar. The route sweeps past the Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides, Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe, with quieter side streets threaded between the headline sights. Central Paris traffic is busy, so the ride feels lively rather than sleepy, but the pace is set to keep newer riders comfortable. Expect a mix of fellow travellers craning for photos and Parisians going about their day around you. At BugBitten we liked that the format suits couples sharing a scooter as well as solo riders who want a bit of adventure without driving the whole way.

Normandy D-Day Semi-Private Tour from Paris with Hotel Pickup
A 12-hour guided exploration of Normandy's D-Day landing sites departing from Paris with hotel collection. Your dedicated local guide meets you in Bayeux to lead you through Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach, the American Cemetery, and Overlord Museum whilst a separate driver handles transport. The split-role approach keeps your guide focused entirely on historical storytelling and context rather than navigation, allowing for a measured pace through this pivotal World War II landscape. Small groups of 7–8 people ensure genuine engagement without the exhaustion of larger coach tours.

EXPLORATION - Visit of the estate, the cellars & tasting

Skip the monuments and queues. This seven-hour roaming session puts you with a neighbourhood insider who steers clear of postcards and guidebooks, hitting working cafés, neighbourhood shops, and food spots locals actually frequent. No two tours follow the same route—your guide reads the day, the weather, the crowds, and takes you where it feels right. You'll eat proper things, drink what's good, and see the Paris that exists between the famous landmarks.

Verdon Gorge and Provence Private Scenic Sightseeing Tour
This six to seven-hour private tour threads through southeastern France's most dramatic landscapes.

Versailles Marie Antoinette Walking Experience with actress
When Jake from our team caught this Versailles street walk, a professional actress playing Marie-Antoinette led us through the town's lanes before we hit the Château proper. It's a clever one-hour warm-up that reframes what you're about to see — the actress walks you through where the Queen actually lived and moved, touching on court drama, her kids, her romantic entanglements, and those refuge spots like the Trianon. The whole thing hinges on an actor who can hold your attention for sixty minutes, so the quality of performance matters. It's the kind of thing that either slots in perfectly before your main Versailles visit or stands alone if you're just curious about the gossip and grit behind the gilt.

Nice : Old Town and Castle Hill Walking Tour
This two-hour walking tour traces Nice's layered history from the Monument du Centenaire through Place Massena's Piedmontese grandeur, the vibrant Cours Saleya flower market, and the narrow maze of the Old Town's pastel-coloured streets. The route culminates atop Castle Hill, where you get sweeping views across the Promenade des Anglais, the port, and beyond. Your guide provides local context in English, Spanish, French, or Italian, and can help arrange tickets to sites along the way.

A 10-hour guided exploration of the Estérel coast and Saint-Tropez departing from Nice. Travel via scenic roads in a panoramic electric vehicle with seven others maximum, then cross by boat to the legendary port.

Cetacean Boat Tours in the Basque Country
Head out on a 4.5-hour boat expedition from Saint-Jean-de-Luz into the Bay of Biscay to spot cetaceans in their habitat. Your small group travels 45 minutes offshore to the Gouf de Capbreton, an oceanic trench where dolphins, whales and porpoises congregate alongside seabirds and fish. A professional skipper navigates these waters where over fifteen cetacean species swim year-round, offering genuine wildlife encounters rather than captive displays.

Toulouse Private & Personalized Tour - Highlights & Hidden Gems
Walk Toulouse at your own tempo with a local guide who shapes the route around what actually interests you. Over 2–6 hours, you'll see the famous brick basilicas and arcaded squares, then slip into the quieter quarters locals favour—courtyards, riverside stretches, neighbourhood cafés. Your guide fills gaps with stories and context that don't make it into mainstream guides. The itinerary forms after you chat through your preferences; you set the pace and decide where to linger.

Discover Hidden Paris: Montmartre or Le Marais or Latin Quarter
A 3-hour private walking tour through one of Paris's three distinct neighbourhoods—Montmartre, Le Marais, or the Latin Quarter—led by a local guide who knows the backstreets and backstories. You'll wander cobbled lanes and hidden courtyards at your own pace, discovering the haunts of artists and revolutionaries whilst learning how ordinary Parisians shaped each quarter's character. A café stop halfway through lets you sit with coffee, wine, or tea and a pastry, experiencing the rhythm locals know.

Discovery of Chamonix with French aperitif
A three-hour guided walk through Chamonix's landmarks and scenic viewpoints, followed by a regional wine tasting paired with local charcuterie and cheese.
