Distillery Tour

When Charlie from our BugBitten team ran this 45-minute distillery tour in the Wye Valley, we got the full picture of how a small Welsh gin maker actually works. The distillery sits tucked into proper countryside โ€” quiet, pastoral, the kind of place where you can see why they're obsessed with local botanicals. You'll walk through the production setup, learn what makes their gin different, then settle into the tasting room for a proper G&T and a few smaller pours to compare. It's a tight group setting, relaxed pace, and the kind of thing that works whether you're a gin enthusiast or just curious how the stuff gets made.

Doon The Watter

When Lily from our BugBitten team boarded this Clyde coastal cruise near Dunoon, she stepped into Scotland's maritime past โ€” all within an hour on the water. You'll cruise past the historic piers and lighthouses that once buzzed with paddle steamers and Clyde puffers, while keeping eyes peeled for seals and porpoises cruising the Holy Loch. It's a gentle, locals-and-visitors mix kind of affair, perfect if you want proper scenery without a full-day commitment, and the light's usually golden for a camera.

6 hour Private tour of the Lake District.

When Tom from our BugBitten team ran this private 6-hour Lake District tour, we covered two genuinely charming villagesโ€”Grasmere and Hawksheadโ€”plus a couple of the region's best tarns (mountain lakes, for those new to the Lakes). The pace feels unhurried: you're in your own vehicle with a knowledgeable guide rather than herded onto a coach, so photo stops happen on your schedule. The valleys are properly unspoilt, and the two tarnsโ€”Tarn Hows and Blea Tarnโ€”deliver that postcard scenery without the usual tour-bus crowds. It's a solid way to see what makes the Lake District tick if you've got six hours and want to skip the usual tourist grind.

Urban Canvas: Exploring Shoreditch's Vibrant Street Art

When Tom from our team took this walking tour through Shoreditch, it was a solid primer on East London's street art scene. The 2 hour 40 minute loop tracks major murals and installations across the neighbourhood โ€” work by Banksy, Jimmy C, David Speed and others โ€” while the guide unpacks their techniques and the artists' influence on the area's identity. It's a working-class neighbourhood that's become a magnet for taggers and muralists, so expect walls that shift seasonally and crowds of tourists doing the same walk. The tour wraps with a hands-on moment where you can add your own piece to a designated wall.

Small-Group City Running Tour in Canterbury

When Sarah from our team ran this Canterbury tour, she found a clever way to tick off the city's major sights without the typical walking-tour shuffle. You're moving at a gentle jog or run (pace adjusts to the group) along the old city walls, hitting the four corners and diving into the cathedral quarter's layered history. It's an hour to 90 minutes of storytelling on the move through one of England's most historically loaded towns, with frequent stops that let you actually catch your breath and absorb what your guide's telling you.

When Em from our team joined this life drawing class in Bristol, we found ourselves in a private studio with a handful of other people, an experienced artist at the helm, and a live model ready to go. It's a 90-minute session held in a proper venue with a full bar on site โ€” the kind of setup that works equally well for a casual creative night out or a bucks/hens group looking for something a bit different. Materials are all sorted for you, so you just show up ready to draw.

When Sarah from our team tackled the Magicians Heist room in Glasgow's West End, she found herself locked in a bespoke puzzle-fest with a magic-heist storyline. The 1 hour 15 minute session pulls you through custom-built props and riddles designed in-house โ€” no off-the-shelf stuff here. It's the kind of experience that works for groups of mates wanting a laugh and a mental workout, set right in the heart of Glasgow's buzzy West End where you can grab a drink before or after.

Stonehenge and Bath City Tour - Private tour from Bath

When Sarah from our team ran this private tour, we got the full Bath and Stonehenge treatment in a single eight-hour push. Your guide is a Bath native with half a millennium's worth of Stonehenge visits under their belt โ€” the kind of local knowledge that turns a standard sightseeing loop into something with real texture. You'll hit Bath's Georgian architecture and that standout viewpoint overlooking the city, then head out to the stone circle itself. It's pitched as an ideal first-timer's overview, and the private-vehicle setup means you're not crammed in with thirty other tourists.

When Lily from our team booked this private Speyside whisky tour out of Inverness, we got a full day threading through Scotland's most celebrated distillery region. The itinerary is flexible โ€” you pick which three or four distilleries suit your taste, though the suggested route takes you to Glenfiddich for a proper tour and tasting, the Speyside Cooperage to watch coopers at work, and then two more tastings at Glenallachie and either Glenfarclas or Cardhu.

Private Guided Tour Secrets of the Six Wives Hampton Court Palace

When Noah from our BugBitten team booked Sarah's private tour at Hampton Court Palace, we got a masterclass in Tudor drama delivered by someone who actually knows the building inside out. This 90-minute to 2-hour walk focuses hard on Henry VIII, his six wives, and the palace intrigue that played out across the 16th-century apartments and chambers where it all happened. Sarah's a social historian and Blue Badge guide who's worked at the palace since 2008 โ€” she's not just reciting facts, she's unpacking the architecture, artworks, and real stories of the people who lived and died here. The palace itself is a split personality: Tudor on one side, Baroque rebuild on the other, but this tour keeps you locked onto the bloodier, more dramatic half.

When Lily from our BugBitten team booked this private rickshaw tour, she got a leisurely two-hour spin through London's heavyweight sightsโ€”Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, then Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus. The route wraps up in Mayfair, Covent Garden, and Soho, hitting the swagger spots without feeling rushed. One rickshaw seats three comfortably, and the outfit runs multiple vehicles as a loose group if you've got bigger numbers. It's the kind of tour where you actually see things from a seat that isn't a tour bus, and the pace lets you soak in the city's energy rather than sprint between photo stops.

When Tom from our BugBitten team did this London pub crawl, it wasn't your standard Harry Potter pilgrimageโ€”it was a tour through the actual watering holes that inspired and housed the wizarding world. Over two and a half hours, you'll hit four pubs where J.K. Rowling found her muse, where the cast actually drank, and where scenes from the books were born. It's part literary history, part boozy nostalgia, threading through central London's hidden corners with a guide who knows the odd storiesโ€”the fights, the character discoveries, the real-world magic behind the franchise.

You're collected by a private driver who takes the wheel while you clock the Giants Causeway (UNESCO site), Carrick-a-Rede ropebridge, Dunluce castle ruins, the Dark Hedges (yes, the Game of Thrones spot), and Ballycastle's shorefront. The eight-hour loop covers 80-odd kilometres of dramatic cliffside scenery, with scenic stops peppered throughout. It departs from either Belfast or Derry depending on your base. The drive itself is the starโ€”your guide handles navigation so you just watch the coast unfold.

Seven hours touring ten lakes across dramatic mountain terrain, with stops at famous landmarks and traditional villages dotted throughout. The minivan holds a max of seven people, so it stays intimate โ€” Ben reckoned the guide knew the place inside out and wasn't shy about sharing local stories.

When Sarah from our team booked this Holyhead shore excursion, we got a proper look inside Caernarfon Castle with a small-group guide who actually knew their stuff. Built in the 1280s by Edward I, this fortress sits bang in the middle of a working Welsh town โ€” less tourist theme park, more genuine historical stronghold. You'll walk the castle walls, climb the Eagle Tower, and stand in the rooms where Welsh princes were crowned. The tour runs 3 hours 15 minutes total, with a guided stint around the castle interiors followed by half an hour to poke around the shops or linger inside. It's a solid option if you're docked at Holyhead and want substance over a rushed tick-box.

It's a blend of history, folklore, and modern spectacleโ€”the kind of itinerary that appeals to culture-chasers and photo hunters alike.

You're collected from the city, driven out to the ancient stone circle, then swung past the cathedral townโ€”all handled by a single guide-driver who's been running this route for years. The outfit trades on reliability over flash, and it shows: they pack you in an air-conditioned car with water and bathroom stops, handle the logistics, and leave the ticket-buying to you.

This 90-minute tour threads together the town's real scandals, crimes, and colourful characters โ€” all delivered on the actual streets where these stories unfolded. By the time the Bard gets a mention, you've already met Tudor rogues, dodgy merchants, and the folk who made Stratford tick long before tourists arrived. It's a small-group setup with guides who've clearly done their homework, and the whole thing moves at a comfortable pace that lets the stories breathe.

It's a solid 10-hour day in a landscape that feels genuinely wild and steeped in old folklore. The vibe is contemplative rather than frantic; you're moving at a pace that lets the place sink in.

When Sarah from our team ran this 2.5-hour walking tour through central London, we started at the bustling Covent Garden and wound through the city's oldest quartersโ€”the kind of streets where centuries of history pile up in the architecture. The guide took us past major landmarks that shaped modern London, finishing at Westminster Abbey's exterior. It's a tight group (12 people max), which keeps things manageable in crowded spots. London's city centre draws everyone from school groups to pensioners, so expect a mix, but the semi-private cap means you're not shuffling along in a 40-person mob.

The guide walked us through the 1888 murders that terrorised the East End, pulling in period documents and photographs to build out what actually happened versus the legend. It's a sombre, historically grounded tour aimed at true-crime buffs and history heads rather than thrill-seekers.

You'll cover 5km alongside the Ship Canal, past the Lowry and Imperial War Museum North, with a guide who's clearly done their homework.

A single guide with 25 years' knowledge steers you through four hours of the Scottish capital's standout architecture and history, mixing the spots everyone photographs with the corners locals actually hang around in. It's just you and your guide, which means the pace is yours and conversation flows naturally rather than being broadcast to a crowd.
