Small-group tours, day trips, cooking classes and multi-day adventures. Every tour vetted for traveller reviews first.

Ultimate Palma Historic Highlights Palaces, Gardens and Cathedral
When Lily from our BugBitten team ran this walking tour through Palma's Old Town, she got the proper architectural rundown—Gothic Cathedral, hidden plazas, palace facades—plus the golden ticket: skip-the-line entry to La Seu, the cathedral that even Gaudí had a hand in redesigning. It's a solid three-hour trudge through narrow streets, cobblestones, and up-and-down terrain in one of Spain's prettiest medieval quarters. You'll finish near the cathedral with time to grab a café cortado and soak it in, or keep exploring on your own steam.

Private 4-hour City Tour of Malaga
When Ben from our team ran this private 4-hour tour around Málaga, we got the full architectural rundown — Gibralfaro Castle perched 132 metres up with views that stretch across the city, plus a cherry-picked mix of Moorish fortresses, the cathedral, and Roman theatre depending on what took our fancy. It's a slow-paced, customisable meander through the city's landmark hits, suited to anyone who wants a guide and a driver handling the logistics while you soak in the sights. The vibe is geared toward small groups (minimum two people) wanting flexibility rather than rigid itineraries.

Montserrat Day Trip with Cable Car Ride
This seven-hour private excursion takes you from [Barcelona](/places/barcelona) to Montserrat's dramatic rock formations and Benedictine monastery. Your local guide handles all logistics—train and cable car included—leaving you free to explore at your own pace. Visit the Basilica, ride the cable car up the mountain, and discover viewpoints like San Miguel whilst hearing stories tailored to your interests, whether that's history, hiking, or the renowned Boys Choir.

Private Half-Day Walking Tour of Alicante
When Jake from our team ran this private walking tour of Alicante, we got a solid four-hour trawl through the city centre with a dedicated guide. You'll hit the main landmarks—the co-cathedral, town hall, the long Explanada promenade, the basilica, and views up to Santa Barbara castle—without fighting a tour group. It's central, walkable, and the guide can pivot if you want to linger or explore further. Best suited to couples or small groups who want flexibility and don't mind the pace being entirely in your hands.

Granada Geopark: Desert, Prehistory and Local Cuisine
When Ben from our BugBitten team ran the Granada Geopark tour, we spent nine hours exploring a landscape shaped entirely by geology. The geopark sits in southern Spain where ancient rock formations have literally carved out how locals live and eat. We wound through badlands and desert terrain, poked into prehistoric caves, and shared a proper local lunch with a small group (up to 20). An air-conditioned minibus ferried us between stops, and a local guide narrated the whole story—how the land's bones became the region's backbone.

Pamplona tour from San Sebastian
When Ben from our team ran this Pamplona tour from San Sebastian, we got a proper feel for Navarre's capital in six hours flat. You hit the main squares where the Running of the Bulls kicks off each July, walk the old walls, peek at the cathedral, and soak up the city's bullfighting heritage with a bilingual guide steering the way. Transport from San Sebastian is locked in, so it's a straightforward dash from the coast to this intense, history-soaked place—and back before dinner.

Cano-Rafting
When Mia from our BugBitten team ran this, cano-rafting proved a genuinely different spin on river sports — you're piloting your own single or double kayak down a Class III stretch of Spanish river rather than packed into a big raft with strangers. It's set in Montanejos, a scenic spot in the Valencian interior known for thermal springs, and the whole experience runs about three and a half hours. The outfit positions itself as the only operator doing this particular hybrid in the area, and they back it with proper kayak-trained guides who stay close throughout.

Private Alhambra palace tour and Granada from Motril cruise port
When Noah from our BugBitten team booked this private tour from Motril cruise port, we were after a proper look at Granada's showstopper: the Alhambra Palace and its gardens. It's a solid 7-hour run from the port that skips the queues and pairs a guided walk through Moorish architecture with free time to poke around Granada itself. The area's a mix of Renaissance city buzz and Nasrid heritage — the kind of place where you'll clock the snow-capped Sierra Nevada framing everything. You'll get a private guide for the palace complex and your own transport throughout, which beats joining a cattle call of cruise passengers.

Full day Bike Rent in Valencia
When Tom from our team rented a bike for the day in Valencia, he found it a solid way to cover a lot of ground without the rush of a guided tour. The city's pancake-flat terrain and extensive bike lanes make it accessible—you get a padlock and map, then pedal at your own pace through the old Turia riverbed (a converted 9km park), past the gleaming City of Arts and Sciences, and out to the port and beach. It's 10 hours of freedom to explore a city that genuinely suits two-wheelers, though you're very much on your own to figure out where to stop and what matters to you.

Private Barcelona Bike Tour, Gaudi's Art and Medieval Districts with Local Guide
When Tom from our team took this private e-bike tour through Barcelona, he covered serious ground in three hours—from medieval laneways to Gaudí's sprawling Sagrada Familia. The ride strings together the city's headline sights: Arc de Triomf, Plaça Reial, Barceloneta's beachside edges, and the grand Passeig de Gràcia. Your guide is a local who actually knows the backstories and can point out both famous stops and quieter corners. It's the kind of tour that gets you moving through different eras of Barcelona without getting bogged down in a single spot.

Rafting experience on the Ulla River
When Jake from our team ran the Ulla River with this outfit, we found a solid mid-range whitewater hit that doesn't demand prior experience or elite fitness. The Spanish river serves up Grade 3 rapids — punchy enough to keep you engaged, but not so gnarly that first-timers feel out of their depth. Four hours of paddling in sync with your crew, reading the water, dodging rock gardens, and generally getting soaked. Guides handle safety tight; wetsuits and kit included. Age minimum is 14, and you'll paddle alongside families, mates on a dare, and proper river nerds all mixed in.

4-hour private boat with Captain for up to 9 people
When Lily from our BugBitten team booked this private boat charter on Spain's Costa Tropical, she got a focused 4-hour run along some genuinely dramatic coastline. The captain handles navigation while your group (up to 9 people) takes in the Cliffs of Maro, the whitewashed town of Nerja, and a handful of wilder beaches most day-trippers miss. It's a stripped-back coastal tour—no frills, no crowds, just the water and the landscape. Drinks and fuel are sorted, so you're not nickel-and-dimed once aboard.

Transfer León to El Capricho Winery and return to León
When Sarah from our BugBitten team booked this transfer to El Capricho Winery outside León, she was after a straightforward run out to the vineyard without the faff of navigating Spanish motorways herself. It's a five-hour round trip by car, tolls already sorted, dropping you at the winery gates and bringing you back to León. Nothing fancy — just clean vehicles, a driver who knows the route, and you arrive ready to explore the estate. Handy if you're based in the city and want a reliable way to reach the wine region without the hire-car stress.

Tour in the Archaeological Museum of Madrid
When Alex from our team ran this 90-minute tour at Madrid's National Archaeological Museum, we got a proper sprint through Spanish history — from prehistoric times right through to the Mudejar period. The museum itself is a quiet, well-organised space in central Madrid that tends to draw serious history buffs and curious travellers rather than rowdy tour groups. You'll clock some genuinely striking pieces: the Lady of Elche (a limestone sculpture that's become an icon of Iberian art), ornate Lebrija chandeliers, and intricate Andalusian coffered ceilings that show off medieval craftsmanship. The pace is brisk but manageable, and the whole thing feels less like a cattle-run and more like having someone walk you through the highlights.

Guided Tour from Seville Discovering Gibraltar
When Tom from our team did this 10-hour run from Seville down to Gibraltar, it felt like stepping into a pocket of British oddness planted on Spain's southern edge. You climb the Rock itself—the real draw—and get proper views across to Morocco on a clear day. The tour handles transport from Seville, a guided minibus loop around the Rock hitting the main spots (St. Michael's Cave, that wild suspension bridge), then turns you loose in town for lunch and duty-free browsing. It's a solid day out if you're based in Seville and want to see something genuinely different without mucking about with rental cars or train schedules.

Small Group Basque Coast Tour Zumaia Flysch Txakoli and Lunch
When Charlie from our team did this Basque Coast tour, we got a proper sense of why this region punches above its weight. Seven hours threading together the dramatic Flysch cliffs at Zumaia, coastal vineyards growing Txakoli wine, the fishing village of Getaria, and a sit-down lunch of chargrilled fish—it's the kind of day that doesn't feel rushed even though there's a lot of ground covered. Small groups (max 7 people) mean your guide actually knows your name, and you're not queuing behind tour buses. The whole thing leans into how locals actually live here rather than ticking boxes.

Olite Royal Palace & Local Wine Experience with Gastronomic Lunch
When Jake from our BugBitten team ran this five to eight-hour tour, he walked into a genuine 15th-century castle that actually feels like one—all dramatic towers and courtyards, no velvet ropes and crowds. The Royal Palace of Olite is a sprawling National Monument in Navarre's wine country, the kind of place that stops you mid-step. After the palace, you head to a local winery for serious tastings paired with proper snacks, then finish with an optional sit-down lunch at Asador Iriberri, where they take their grilled meat and wine pairing seriously. It's a full day that threads together history, wine, and food without feeling rushed.

8-Hour Formentor and Sineu Market with boat trip Tour in Mallorca
When Charlie from our team ran this tour, we got a genuine split-screen day: two hours loose in the medieval Sineu market surrounded by citrus stalls, leather goods, and local tapas bars, then a coastal swing through Mallorca's drama zones—hilltop viewpoint at Es Colomer, Formentor's white-sand beach for a swim or paella, and a cliffside ferry ride through Pollensa Bay past coves and old watchtowers. The coach is air-conditioned, the guide knows the area's stories, and the pace lets you actually breathe. It's roughly 7–8 hours door-to-door, and it hits both the inland soul and the postcard coast in one go.

Private Transfer from Sitges to Barcelona Airport
When Tom from our BugBitten team booked this private transfer from Sitges to Barcelona Airport, it ticked the boxes for a stress-free ride without the bus-stop faff. You're picked up in a quality vehicle with a bilingual driver who keeps tabs on your flight status, so you're not refreshing your phone every five minutes wondering if you'll miss boarding. The 50-minute drive cuts through the coast road into the city, and it's dead straightforward — suited to families, solo travellers, and anyone who'd rather not wrestle luggage onto public transport after a beach break.

Private Tour: Santiago Bernabeu Stadium & Modern Madrid with Hotel pick up
When Noah from our team booked this private tour, we got the full Madrid experience wrapped around a Santiago Bernabeu visit — no queuing, dedicated guide, and a chauffeur for the afternoon. You're picked up from your hotel, skip straight into Real Madrid's museum and stadium (one of Europe's finest, UEFA-rated), then cruise past the city's grand landmarks: Plaza Cibeles, Paseo de Recoletos, the gleaming Madrid Towers financial district, and Plaza Castilla. It's a polished 4-hour loop aimed at Real Madrid fans and anyone wanting a guided hit of central Madrid without the public transport faffing. The crowd tends toward tourists staying nearby, and you'll move at a leisurely pace between stops.

Palma Premium Tour from North Area with guided walk and Cathedral
When Charlie from our BugBitten team ran this Palma Premium tour, it ticked the boxes for a hassle-free introduction to Mallorca's capital. You're picked up from your hotel, dropped within walking distance of the Cathedral, and guided through the old town's winding streets before exploring the Cathedral itself—all in a climate-controlled coach with a seat guaranteed. It's a 7–8 hour outing that bundles transport, a 45-minute walk, and Cathedral entry into one package, leaving you with nearly four and a half hours to wander, eat, or shop solo. Suits travellers who'd rather skip the public transport puzzle and want curated context without feeling rushed.

Private Barcelona Full-Day Personalized City Tour
When Mia from our BugBitten team ran this private tour, she got to shape the entire day around what she actually wanted to see — no fixed itinerary, no coach full of strangers. Barcelona's a dense, layered city, and having a guide who knows the backstreets of the Gothic Quarter, the modernist sweep of L'Eixample, and exactly where to grab decent patatas braves makes a real difference. The tour spans six hours and includes pick-up and drop-off, though you're paying entry fees separately. It's the kind of setup that works brilliantly if you've got a rough idea of what draws you — whether that's Gaudí's half-built Sagrada Familia, the tile-work at Parc Güell, or the food stalls at La Boqueria.

Group Tour of La Alhambra Generalife,Alcazaba,Carlos V
When Charlie from our team ran this tour, we got a solid taster of Granada's Alhambra without the palace queues. You're walking the fortress walls, the Alcazaba, and the Generalife gardens—the quieter, greener corners that let you actually breathe and take photos without 200 people in the frame. It's a 90-minute to 2-hour loop with an official guide who speaks both English and Spanish, covering the military and garden architecture that built this place. The Sierra Nevada backdrop doesn't hurt. Fair heads-up: the famous Nasrid palaces are off the menu here, which is a trade-off for fewer crowds and a more relaxed pace.

Carved Cova Route by Kayak
When Mia from our team paddled out to Cova Tallada near Alicante, we found ourselves gliding into one of Spain's most dramatic sea caves without the crowds you'd expect. This 3-hour kayak trip hugs the Montgó cliffs, mixing paddling with snorkelling in genuinely clear water and a guided float through the cave itself. You're sharing the experience with a small group and one guide-instructor, which keeps things manageable. The whole vibe feels less tourist-trap, more 'we actually found something worth doing' — though the early logistics and gear setup mean you're not quite in the water within minutes of arriving.

Lanzarote: Bike Rental and Discovering The Island
When Mia from our BugBitten team picked up a bike in Lanzarote, she found herself pedalling through one of Europe's most visually striking islands. This is straightforward bike rental with a freedom angle — you grab your bike during operational hours, lock up your gear, helmet on, and the island's yours to explore. Lanzarote's volcanic terrain, white-washed villages, and coastal roads make it a natural for cyclists, whether you're after a quick day loop or a longer multi-day spin. The rental outfit will point you toward decent routes, but the real appeal is setting your own pace across this rugged, dramatic landscape.

Murcia Private Walking Tour
When Charlie from our BugBitten team walked this route through Murcia, we found a straightforward way to get the city's layout and main sights down in three and a half hours. The tour hits the Cathedral, the ornate Real Casino, and the compact city centre with a local guide leading a group of up to 15 people. Murcia itself is a mid-sized Andalusian city with a gentler pace than the bigger tourist hubs—quieter plazas, genuine tapas bars, and a real lived-in feel. It's not flashy, but that's rather the point.

Pork Paradise: Iberian Gastronomy Tour
When Tom from our BugBitten team ran this two-hour Iberian gastronomy tour in Spain, we got the real story of how the country's most prized cured meats and cheeses come to life. You kick off at a local abacería—the kind of spot where Spanish folks nab a pre-dinner bite—for three sausages, three cheeses, and a glass of sherry. Your guide walks you through the whole craft: pig breeding, diet, curing timelines, the lot. Then it's off to an authentic tapas bar for another drink and a spread of traditional pork-based bites. Two stops, two hours, proper food culture without the fluff.

Private transfer: Barcelona to San Sebastian, 2h Stop in Pamplona
When Lily from our team booked this private transfer from Barcelona to San Sebastian, we were after a straightforward way to bridge two cities without the usual transport headache. This seven-to-eight-hour journey splits the drive with a two-hour Pamplona stop, giving you a genuine breather and a chance to stretch legs or grab lunch. You're paired with an English-speaking local driver who handles the luggage and knows the region well enough to point out worthwhile stops. It's the kind of service that trades the chaos of buses and taxis for door-to-door reliability — handy if you're travelling with luggage or just want to arrive without faffing about.

Gaudi Lesser-Known Art: Colonia Guell, Casa Vicens & Bellesguard
Step away from Sagrada Familia crowds on this six-hour private tour exploring Gaudí's lesser-celebrated masterworks across [Barcelona](/places/barcelona). Your specialist guide navigates you through Colonia Güell—a 19th-century workers' complex whose experimental crypt informed the basilica's design—followed by lunch with tapas at a traditional spot. Then discover Bellesguard's neo-Gothic towers melded with Catalan modernism, and finish at Casa Vicens, the architect's inaugural residential project. Skip-the-line access and audio guides included.

Tour of the Mosque-Cathedral and Alcazar of Cordoba
When Sarah from our team ran this three-hour walk through Córdoba, we got the full sweep of the city's layered past. The Mosque-Cathedral hits you first—that forest of striped arches and the weird, brilliant collision of Islamic geometry with Christian additions tells the whole story of medieval Spain in one building. Then the Alcázar, a fortress that's part castle, part garden, with towers and courtyards that let you actually picture the Catholic Monarchs plotting their next move. Our guide knew the detail; tickets were sorted. It's a solid half-day that doesn't pretend to be casual—you're walking, you're thinking, you're taking it in.

Private 2-Hour Sightseeing Tour in Madrid
When Ben from our team booked this private Madrid tour, we got a straightforward two-hour spin through the city's headline sights — Palacio Real, Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol, Temple of Debod, and a drift through La Latina's winding medieval streets. You're paired with an English-speaking local driver who knows the city's history and handles the navigation while you soak in the architecture from the vehicle. It's a flexible option if you want a no-fuss introduction to Madrid's centre without the tour-bus crowds, though don't expect to linger or step inside the major landmarks.

Oviedo Civil War Tour
When Ben from our BugBitten team did this 90-minute Civil War walking tour through Oviedo, we got a properly grounded look at the Spanish Civil War's northern campaign — specifically the siege and bombing of the city between 1936 and 1937. An Asturian historian guide walks you through the military conspiracy that kicked things off, the first street battles, and the scarred facades still bearing shrapnel and unexploded ordnance from the bombardment. It's a heavy subject, but done with real expertise and local context. Fair warning: it's not an easy stroll, and the tour doesn't shy away from the repression that followed.

Private Tour: Costa Brava Hike from Barcelona
A seven-hour guided hike along the Costa Brava's Cami de Ronda coastal path, departing from [Barcelona](/places/barcelona). You'll traverse rugged cliffside routes near Calella de Palagrugell, spending roughly five hours on foot with a certified mountain guide. The route reveals Mediterranean vistas from multiple vantage points whilst showcasing the region's native plants and wildlife. Hotel pickup and drop-off, water, snacks and transport in a private air-conditioned vehicle are included.

4-Day Guided Tour Northern Spain from Barcelona
When Jake from our BugBitten team ran this four-day loop north from Barcelona, we hit seven Spanish cities at a brisk clip: San Sebastian, Bilbao, Santander, Santillana, Covadonga, Oviedo and Salamanca. It's a coach-based cultural sprint through the Basque Country and Asturian highlands, mixing Michelin-star food cities with medieval towns and coastal scenery. You're travelling in an air-conditioned coach with a bilingual guide, sleeping in first-class hotels with porter service thrown in, and breakfasts and dinners sorted. Aimed at travellers who want to see a lot without faff — though the pace does mean you're never anywhere long enough to really breathe.

Discover the major cultural attractions of Palma De Mallorca on a Private Tour
Explore Palma's layered past on a four-hour private tour tracing the city from Roman settlement through Islamic Madina Mayurqa to its Christian present. Your guide collects you from port or hotel and drives you to Bellver Castle for panoramic views, then leads a walk through the old town's narrow streets before heading south to Valldemossa, one of Mallorca's most picturesque villages. You'll return to your ship or accommodation with a solid grounding in the island's architectural and cultural timeline.

A Day Unveiling Mallorca's Hidden Gems - lunch included
Spend nine hours traversing Mallorca's quieter corners, from the dramatic cliffs and terraced slopes of the Tramuntana range to the artistic village of Valldemossa and the island's flatlands beyond. You'll walk medieval pathways, eat a full spread of regional dishes at a local table, and discover Bonany Hermitage—a hilltop sanctuary meaningful to islanders for centuries. A pearl factory rounds out the route before your return to Palma.

Touristic highlights of Montblanc on a Private half day tour with a local
Explore Montblanc's medieval streets with a knowledgeable local guide over four hours. This walled town reveals Gothic and Romanesque architecture at every turn, while doubling as a gateway to the Cistercian Route, a UNESCO-listed pilgrimage network. Your guide steers you away from the obvious stops, introduces you to where locals actually spend time, and points out places to eat and drink like someone who lives here. You'll leave with genuine insight into how this corner of Spain has held together for centuries.

Gran Canaria Private Transfer from Costa Meloneras to Las Palmas (LPA) airport
Skip the taxi queue at Costa Meloneras and arrive at Las Palmas airport without fuss.

The half-hour journey covers all taxes upfront, so no surprises at handover.

ATV Guided Tour to The Waterfalls Fuentes del Algar
Tear across Costa Blanca's backcountry on an automatic quad, carving through mountain terrain toward Fuentes de Algar's tiered pools. This 3–4 hour guided ride splits evenly: an hour's off-road routing out, an hour swimming in crystalline waterfall basins, then the return journey. Your guide adapts pace and technicality to match your abilities, whether you're a first-timer or seasoned rider. Finish with edited footage and stills captured throughout.
