Night Flexible Private Guided Tour in Seoul(Optional Layover)

When Ben from our team took this night tour of Seoul, we got a private vehicle and guide steering us through four stops over five hours — Deoksugung Palace (or Ikseondong village if it's Monday), a traditional market for street food and drinks, N Seoul Tower for the city lights, and a temple lit up with lanterns. It's the kind of tour where you're not rushing through crowds; instead, you're getting a local read on how Seoul shifts after dark. The itinerary's fairly locked in since attractions shut early, but your guide can pivot time between stops based on what grabs you.

Lyon: Private dining experience through 3 restaurants

Skip the single-restaurant trap and eat your way through Lyon's best-kept neighbourhood bistros on this 2.5-hour crawl. Your local guide steers you between three carefully chosen establishments, each serving one course of a multi-venue meal tailored to the season and your tastes. Between bites, you'll wander the Peninsula's quieter streets whilst your guide unpacks the city's stories—part food tour, part living history lesson.

Hidden Paris and Wine Class : A Walking Tour

Wander through Paris's oldest quarters while sampling wine at neighbourhood bars in this three-hour blend of history and tasting. You'll explore hidden corners of the Marais and Île Saint-Louis with a local guide, sipping champagne, natural wine, and French reds whilst learning the stories behind each neighbourhood. Small groups keep things intimate, and paired snacks complement the four glasses you'll taste along the way.

Paris Le Marais Walking Tour: An Incredible History - Small Group

Spend two hours exploring Le Marais with a small group (maximum eight) guided by a knowledgeable local. This neighbourhood layers medieval streets, Renaissance mansions, and contemporary galleries into one of Paris's most compelling patches. You'll navigate the Jewish Quarter, pause at Place des Vosges, and hunt through the market stalls of Marché des Enfants Rouges while your guide unpicks centuries of stories—from Templar intrigue to today's thriving creative scene.

Jackson 4-Day and 3-Night Grand Teton and Yellowstone Winter Tour

When Jake from our team ran this 4-day winter loop through Grand Teton and Yellowstone, it felt like stepping into a proper wildlife documentary—except you're warm in a snowcoach watching elk herds and wolves from a distance. The tour strings together heated vehicle safaris, a horse-drawn sleigh ride across the National Elk Refuge, and a snowcoach push into Yellowstone to catch Old Faithful and steaming hydrothermal basins. Winter here is quieter and colder than summer chaos, with fewer tourists and better wildlife-spotting odds. Expect three nights based in Jackson, early starts, and plenty of glassing for bison, moose, bighorn sheep, and if you're lucky, wolves.

Amalfi Coast and Positano Private Boat Tour

Explore the [Amalfi Coast](/places/amalfi-coast)'s hidden coves and clifftop villages from a 36-foot private yacht over 7–8 hours. Depart from your chosen port and cruise past dramatic headlands toward Positano and Amalfi, stopping for swimming in turquoise waters. The crew handles onboard aperitifs and snacks whilst you decide where to eat lunch ashore; return voyage includes a tasting of house-made limoncello. Fully tailored to your pace and interests.

Paris 2-Hour Eiffel Tower Walking Tour with Professional Photo Shoot

Spend two hours around the [Eiffel Tower](/places/eiffel-tower) with a professional photographer who'll capture 300 polished images of you exploring the area. Rather than fumbling with selfies, you'll walk the neighbourhood whilst Ari directs you through different angles and backdrops. Every shot gets retouched for exposure, colour and sharpness, then delivered within 24 hours—ready to print or share. The real draw is Ari's ease: fluent in English and French, patient, funny, and genuinely invested in making the session feel natural rather than stiff.

Best Private Luxury Sunset Boat Tour in New York City - 2 Hour

When Tom from our team booked this private sunset cruise around lower Manhattan, we got the whole boat to ourselves for two hours watching the light drop behind the Statue of Liberty and across the skyline. It's a straightforward float past the major landmarks — Freedom Tower, Empire State Building, Lady Liberty up close — with a captain who knows the area and decent sightlines from the water. The crowd factor is nil (that's the point of 'private'), and you can pack your own drinks and snacks, which sweetens the deal on a nice evening.

Private Virtual Cooking Class from Sorrento

Learn to cook traditional Sorrento dishes from your own kitchen during a two-hour live video class with an Italian chef. You'll receive the ingredient list beforehand and take home written recipes. This is a genuine culinary education, not theatre—expect to chop, stir and taste your way through authentic techniques passed down through generations. Perfect for those keen to understand the foundations of Southern Italian cooking without leaving home.

Santa Barbara Wine Tour Experience - Authentic and Boutique

When Alex from our BugBitten team booked Santa Barbara Wine Canyon Tours, we got a proper insider's look at the region's boutique wineries without the pretension. Over six hours, our group rolled through the county's quieter corners in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle, stopping at smaller producers focused on quality over flash. We tasted our way through a handful of estates, sat down to a proper gourmet lunch in a vineyard setting, and picked up local knowledge from someone who actually knows the region's wine story. It's the kind of tour that feels less 'tick the boxes' and more 'let's see what's good around here'.

3 Day Murramarang Coast Journey from Batemans Bay with Meals and Villa Accom

Walk the Murramarang Coast's dramatic shoreline over three days, with vehicle support ferrying your kit between daily destinations. This guided journey traverses NSW's South Coast, threading through sandstone formations, open beaches and forested ridgelines whilst staying in beachside cabins within the National Park. All meals and accommodation included; hike at a relaxed low-to-moderate pace with proper rest built in.

Private Chartered Pontoon Boat-Up to 16 Guests with Restroom

When Lily from our BugBitten team booked this private pontoon charter, she got a flexible day on the water tailored to her group's mood. You're hiring the boat and captain for 2 to 8 hours — pick the length, pick the itinerary. In season (March–October), Crab Island's a natural draw: a shallow sandbar where you can float, paddleboard, or just drift. Outside those months or if you'd rather move around, the captain can take you dolphin-spotting through Destin Harbour or to snorkel sites. It's the kind of setup that works for groups of mates wanting flexibility without the cattle-boat vibe.

Discover Hidden Subway Secrets Below Brooklyn - Private

When Tom from our team did this Brooklyn subway tour, we descended into the transit system that literally shaped the borough's sprawl and character. A licensed urban planner walks you through two hours of hidden stations, defunct platforms, and the engineering grit keeping millions moving daily. You'll spot the Masstransiscope's psychedelic flicker, stand in the station where Michael Jackson shot 'Bad', and climb to the Western Hemisphere's highest rapid-transit platform for proper skyline views. It's the kind of tour that makes you notice the tiles and tunnels you'd normally rush past—less tourist spectacle, more real infrastructure story.

Emerald Bay Private Sightseeing Boat Tours

When Jake from our BugBitten team took this private cruise on Lake Tahoe, we cruised the west shoreline for two hours, passing Emerald Bay's turquoise waters, the quirky Vikingsholm castle tucked into the tree line, and Eagle Falls dropping straight into the lake. It's a relaxed float past some genuinely stunning alpine scenery—the kind of place where the water actually does look Caribbean despite the altitude and pine forest. You can anchor in a cove for a swim or pack a picnic, and the boat's got a decent sound system to soundtrack the ride. Good option if you want Lake Tahoe without the crowds or the hike.

Transfers from Naples to Sorrento Positano Amalfi Ravello Maiori

Private car service from Naples to the [Amalfi Coast](/places/amalfi-coast) towns of Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, Ravello, or Maiori, taking 1–2 hours depending on destination. Pompeii Transfer Car operates a fleet of Mercedes vehicles with English and Italian-speaking drivers who know the region well. The company's Traveller's Choice award reflects consistent service quality. Extend your journey with optional stops in any town—just arrange in advance.

Rockin kitchen : Fresh Pasta lesson with Music Aperitif Dinner

Learn to shape fresh pasta whilst a live soundtrack sets the tempo in a Milan design apartment. Over three hours, you'll work through the rhythm of rolling, cutting and forming, breaking for aperitifs and wine, then sit down to eat what you've made. The host customises both timing and menu on request, making this suited equally to mates after a laugh, family groups, or teams looking to bond over something tangible.

Snowshoe Adventure in the Swiss Alps

When Tom from our BugBitten team laced up snowshoes near Interlaken, the 4-hour outing felt like stepping into a quieter version of the Alps. You're guided through frosted forest and across open slopes with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau as your backdrop—the kind of scenery that makes Instagram feel redundant. The pace is steady rather than punishing, and the alpine villages tucked beneath those peaks give the walk real character. It's genuinely one of the ways to see Switzerland that doesn't involve a crowded cable car.

Elite Hobie Kayak Experience: Ultimate Premium Eco Adventure!

When Ben from our BugBitten team tried this 4-hour Hobie Kayak outing in Florida, it centred on Mike's pedal-drive kayaks—a genuinely different way to move through the water. Instead of paddling, you push foot pedals, which sounds odd until you realise it frees your hands entirely for photography, fishing, or just watching the mangroves slide past. Mike's a born-and-bred local who reads the water like a map. The vibe is relaxed but purposeful; you're out with a small group of mixed abilities, gliding through Florida's quieter ecosystems without the shoulder burn of traditional kayaking.

Miami Sunset Private Helicopter Tour

When Em from our team booked this private helicopter tour, we got a full 40 minutes circling Miami at sunset with just our group aboard. It's a straightforward luxury play: you're in a new black helicopter with proper noise-cancelling headsets, flying over South Beach, the islands, and Downtown as the light goes golden. The vibe is couples and small groups wanting to see the city from above without sharing the cabin with strangers. Arrive early for safety checks, and bring a camera—the light does the heavy lifting here.

Private Candle Massage In Da Nang

A 90-minute private candle massage in Da Nang blends heated wax infusions with therapeutic touch. Specially prepared candles—soy or beeswax with coconut, almond, and jojoba oils—melt into warm treatments massaged directly onto skin. The technique combines scent work with tactile relaxation, targeting circulation, skin hydration, and mental calm. An English-, Japanese-, or Mandarin-speaking therapist guides the session, with tea and light refreshments included.

You'll crawl through the famous tunnel network that defined the war, then swing through the city's defining landmarks—Reunification Palace, Notre Dame, the Post Office, and War Remnants Museum.

Midtown Manhattan Guided Walking Tour Semi-Private 12ppl Max

When Ben from our BugBitten team ran this Midtown Manhattan walking tour, we got the classic New York experience in 2.5 hours: Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, 5th Avenue's architectural heavyweights. It's a semi-private setup capped at 8 people max, so you're not herded through with 40 others. The guide knows their stuff and the pace keeps moving. Midtown itself is peak tourist density—all energy, construction cranes, and yellow cabs—but that's the real Manhattan beat. Works best for first-timers or anyone wanting the landmark checklist without the solo-navigation stress.

Sorrento Cooking School Cook as Locals with seaview Hands on 100%

You'll work with seasonal ingredients sourced nearby, master traditional Italian techniques, then sit down to eat everything you've cooked. The class includes a pizza demonstration, lemon marmalade prep, local wine, and transport to and from your accommodation.

Private Tour of North Cornwall for Breathtakingly Rugged Coast

When Noah from our BugBitten team booked this private North Cornwall tour, he got the full local lowdown from a former teacher who actually lives here. Eight and a half hours winding through rugged coastline, quiet harbours, and centuries-old stone villages—the kind of places that shape how Cornish people see themselves. You'll walk stretches of the South West Coast Path if you fancy it, duck into monasteries, hear proper folklore, and finish with a photo montage and Cornish gifts to take home. It's a proper day out, not a rushed tick-box.

The History of Black Georgetown

When Em from our BugBitten team ran this walk through Georgetown, it became clear that the neighbourhood's glossy present-day image masks a far more complicated past. This 2.5-hour guided tour traces the lives of Black Georgetowners—enslaved people, free citizens, and their descendants—whose stories shaped one of DC's oldest quarters long before it became a wealthy enclave. You'll move through streets that look familiar today but carried very different weight 200 years ago, finishing at Mt. Zion Cemetery where generations are buried. The guide unpacks a history that rarely makes it into the usual Georgetown narrative.

Japan

Mount Fuji, Hakone, Owakudani, Chureito Pagoda and Oshino Hakkai

When Alex from our team ran this Mount Fuji day tour from Tokyo, it packed five major stops into ten hours — a proper full-on effort to see Japan's iconic peak from multiple angles. You're driven past Hakone's volcanic valley, take the ropeway over Owakudani's sulphur vents, hunt for the perfect shot of Fuji framed by Chureito Pagoda's red shrine, and wander the reflective ponds at Oshino Hakkai. The route mixes nature, a touch of history, and landscape porn. Crowds are heavy, especially at the pagoda, and you're chasing good light across moving targets — so timing and weather matter.

Private Tour of the Kunsthistorisches Museum: Secrets of Masterpieces | Tickets included

When Sarah from our team did this private tour through Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum, she got the full art-history breakdown without the crowds. The three-hour walk tackles the museum's heavy hitters — Rembrandt, Vermeer, Caravaggio, Raphael, and ancient sculptures — but the real value isn't just ticking off famous names. The guide walks you through *why* these pieces made the cut, how artists played with our perception, and what cultural forces turned them into icons. It's for people who want to think about art, not just look at it.

Complete Cardiff Doctor Who Walking Tour

When Alex from our BugBitten team ran this Cardiff Doctor Who tour, we got the full picture of how the Welsh capital has doubled as everything from Victorian London to 1920s New York across two decades of the show. Over two and a half hours, we hit the Civic Centre, city centre, and Cardiff Bay—tracing 13 series worth of filming spots, key scenes, and the buildings that shaped iconic moments. It's the expanded version, so you're covering more ground and more Doctor Who than the shorter city-centre-only option. The mix of locations means decent walking and a real sense of how Cardiff's been quietly doing heavy lifting for the BBC.

Tokyo Meiji Shrine and Shinto Culture Walking Tour

When Jake from our team did this Meiji Shrine walk, we found it sits somewhere between tourist tick-box and genuine cultural insight—depending on your guide. You're spending two hours in one of Tokyo's most serene pockets, learning how to actually bow at a Torii gate, rinse your hands properly, and make an offering that doesn't look clumsy. The shrine itself is tucked into a 100-year-old forest that feels genuinely removed from the city's chaos, even though you're minutes from Shibuya's madness. It's small-group stuff, quiet, and deliberately paced—not a race through photo ops.

Uncommon Venice: Hidden Gems, Rooftop & Prosecco

When Noah from our BugBitten team ran this 2.5-hour tour, it nailed what we look for: actual Venetians going about their day, not crowds. The route threads through neighbourhood squares and family workshops—the kind of spots you'd miss on your own—before landing on a private palace rooftop where the Grand Canal spreads below you over a proper glass of prosecco. It's small-group stuff (max 10 people), which meant the guide could actually talk to us rather than herd us. Venice's a mad scramble usually; this one sidesteps most of it.

Boat tour along the Amalfi Coast

Six-hour boat journey tracing the [Amalfi Coast](/places/amalfi-coast)'s dramatic shoreline, passing vertical cliffs and village-dotted bays. You'll anchor for swimming and snorkelling in clear water, with prosecco, beer, water and light snacks onboard. The skipper navigates whilst you lounge on deck or dive beneath the surface—no rushing, no crowds, just the coast revealing itself gradually from the water.

Ho Chi Minh City Tour Highlights & Hidden Gems - Small group

When Ben from our BugBitten team ran this half-day tour, it hit the sweet spot for a first-timer wanting to see Ho Chi Minh City's headline moments without burning a full day. The route threads together Saigon's French colonial relics, the controlled chaos of Ben Thanh Market, the War Remnants Museum's heavy history, the Jade Emperor Pagoda's incense-thick spirituality, and Independence Palace's grand interiors. You're moving at a decent clip through District 1's core, getting a local guide's context on each stop, and the small-group format meant we weren't herded like tourists. Four hours is tight but honest — you're sampling the city's layers, not mastering them.

Guided Hebridean Farm Hike near Tobermory, Isle of Mull, Scotland

When Noah from our BugBitten team hiked this route near Tobermory, we got the proper lowdown on what hill farming looks like in the Hebrides. A passionate local farmer leads you across rough moorland for 90 minutes, introducing you to Highland ponies (a bit wild) and genuinely friendly Shetland sheep. The landscape shifts with weather and season — spring wildflowers, golden autumn bracken, winter's raw challenge — so expect anything from stunning to muddy to shrouded in mist. You'll clock real farming life here, not a sanitised version.

Shamisen Discovery in Kyoto 【Group】

Pick up a shamisen for the first time in this relaxed Kyoto session. Rather than getting bogged down in classical technique, you'll spend an hour learning to coax actual sounds from the three-stringed instrument under a professional player's watch. No prior music experience needed, no formal dress code—just show up ready to have a go. Tea and a photo with your instrument wrap things up.
