Private: Downtown Las Vegas Food Tour of 6 Dishes & Hidden Gems

When Charlie from our team ran this Downtown Las Vegas food tour, we stepped straight off the Strip into the city's actual food scene—three hours hitting seven different spots that actually matter. You're tasting real Vegas here: a lobster montadito that's buttery and packed, an elote dog that lives up to the hype, a charity pizza slice, shrimp cocktail, musubi with teriyaki, a chocolate number, and whatever secret dish they've lined up that day. Downtown's got character—a bit rough around the edges, less polished than the casino stretch, but where the flavour is.

Dolphin spotting in the Gulf of Olbia

Search for dolphins in the Gulf of Olbia aboard a 8-metre dinghy skippered by a trained marine biologist who explains the creatures' behaviour and habitat. The 90-minute voyage departs from Pittulongu beach, a sheltered cove backed by restaurants and car parking. You'll spot bottlenose and striped dolphins hunting in their natural waters whilst sipping cold drinks and rinsing off with fresh water between sightings.

Private Minivan Transfer to or from Schiphol Airport

When Noah from our BugBitten team booked a private minivan to Schiphol, it ticked the box for a fuss-free airport run. You get picked up from your Amsterdam accommodation or dropped at the terminal without the train-station shuffle, in a modern, air-conditioned van with a driver who knows the route cold. Journey time varies between 10 and 35 minutes depending on traffic and where you're headed. It's straightforward: show up, get driven, arrive on time.

1h30m Wine Tasting and Visit to Val D'Orcia

Spend 90 minutes at Poggio del Moro, a working winery and art space in Val D'Orcia's rolling countryside. Walk through functioning vineyards, the oil mill, and barrel cellars with Tatiana or a wine specialist, learning how the estate produces organic wines without synthetic pesticides or heavy-handed processing. Taste three wines paired with house bruschetta in an intimate setting that doubles as a contemporary art venue.

Scottish Highlands and Glencoe Tour - Castles, Glens & Waterfalls

When Lily from our BugBitten team ran this 10-hour loop from Glasgow, we covered proper Highlands ground—starting with the photogenic village of Luss on Loch Lomond's edge, then pushing into Glencoe Valley where the mountains close in and the light gets moody. Along the way we ticked off Inveraray Castle (seat of Clan Campbell), peeked at Stalker and Kilchurn from a distance, and threaded through waterfalls and glens that justify the drive north. It's pitched at both history heads and landscape obsessives, though the pace is steady rather than rushed.

Australia

Whale Watching Adventure Ballina

When Noah from our BugBitten team booked the Ballina Byron Marine Adventures whale watching tour, the NSW coast delivered. This 2.5-hour trip motors out from Ballina in search of humpback whales, with four daily departures keeping the groups lean and sightlines clear. The crew knows their stuff — marine biology background means you're getting actual insight into behaviour and habitat rather than just 'ooh, there's one.' Dolphins, turtles, and seabirds show up too. The guarantee is solid: no whales, you get a free return trip. It's the kind of tour that works for families, first-timers, and locals after a proper ocean hit.

Kangaroos, mangroves and the ocean

This six-hour coastal run takes you through three distinct ecosystems along Australia's shoreline. You'll spot raptors and waders across open water and mangrove thickets, track kangaroos in their natural setting, and explore a beached wreck at Osprey House Environmental Centre. The tour finishes at Scarborough Harbour, where you can pick up catch-of-the-day straight from the fishing boats.

🚌 Day Trips & Sightseeing

Greece

An exciting exploration of Peloponnese at ancient Corinth, Mycenae and Nafplio

When Mia from our BugBitten team ran this eight-hour Peloponnese loop, we covered three heavy-hitter archaeological zones in one hit: Ancient Corinth's temple ruins and agora, Mycenae's famous Lion's Gate and royal tombs, and the coastal charm of Nafplio. The driver knew the history cold and ferried us in a comfortable air-con minibus from Athens. It's a packed day through some of Greece's most storied landscape — Bronze Age palaces, Venetian fortifications, neoclassical squares — best suited to travellers who want serious ground covered without faffing about with public transport.

Private Luxury Transfer from Athens to Athens Airport

When Alex from our BugBitten team booked this private transfer from central Athens to the airport, we found it a straightforward way to dodge the stress of navigating Greek traffic on a departure day. You get a dedicated driver, a clean air-conditioned car (sedan for smaller groups, minivan for up to seven), and door-to-door pickup—no waiting around for shared shuttles or wrestling luggage onto public transport. It's a one-hour run depending on traffic, and the inclusions cover water, WiFi, and a professional who knows the route cold.

Sunset sail Aboard Manakai Catamaran

When Charlie from our team sailed the Manakai, we found ourselves on a proper piece of Hawaiian sailing history—a handcrafted catamaran built by William Brown, son of legendary waterman Woody Brown. The 90-minute sunset cruise hugs the Waikiki coast under a bold, unmissable rainbow sail, with a smaller guest capacity that keeps things genuinely relaxed rather than cattle-pen packed. The open-deck layout and friendly local crew set a loose, barefoot vibe. You're looking at either a basic ticket with a complimentary drink or the Premium option (21+ only) with early boarding and all-inclusive island cocktails. It's less theme-park spectacle, more sailing the way locals actually experience it.

90 Minutes Surfing Lesson in Canggu

Catch your first waves or refine your technique with a 90-minute surfing lesson at Canggu's breaks. You'll work with experienced instructors in small groups, receiving personalised feedback tailored to your ability. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to progress, the lesson balances practical skills with genuine time in the water, all with proper safety measures and gear provided.

Santorini Private Romantic Tour with Wine Tasting & Dinner

When Sarah from our BugBitten team booked this private tour, she got the full Santorini romance package — just the two of you, a driver-guide, and six hours threading through the island's quieter corners. You'll hit a cliffside winery for wine tasting with local bottles included, then settle in at a seaside taverna for a proper Santorinian spread (salads, fish or steak, more wine) timed to catch the sunset without the tour-bus crush. It's couples and honeymooners territory, though anyone after a slower, more intimate island experience will appreciate the vibe.

Private Fishing Tour - Sunset (transportation included)

When Sarah from our team booked this private fishing tour off Santorini's south coast, we got a genuine evening on the water—not the sanitised version. You're on a 52-foot wooden boat with a local female captain who'll teach you how to fish the traditional way, or you can just watch and soak it in. The five-hour experience wraps around the sunset, with swimming, snorkelling, and dinner made from whatever you've caught that day. The volcanic cliffs loom nearby, and the sea is genuinely clear. It's a proper small-group escape from the Santorini crowds, and transport's sorted.

Hiking Mountain Akramitis Rhodes

When Charlie from our BugBitten team hiked Akramitis, Rhodes' second-highest peak, we discovered a side of the island most tourists miss. This guided 4.5-hour trek cuts through Natura 2000 protected forest and rocky terrain to a summit with 360-degree views across Rhodes and the Aegean beyond. It's a proper leg-workout — 9km with 421m elevation gain — but the payoff is solitude and sweeping vistas that justify the climb. Small-group guided hike, snacks and kit included, suited to anyone with solid fitness who's ready for a real walk.

VIETNAM WAR MEMORIES at KY ANH TUNNELS & CHIEN DAN CHAM TOWERS

Explore the hand-carved tunnel networks of Ky Anh, built during the 1960s American War when villagers dug passages with basic tools to survive bombardment. This 5–6 hour tour takes you through narrow, dimly lit passages where you'll crawl alongside locals who lived through the conflict, then visit the 11th Chien Dan Cham Towers. Unlike the polished Cu Chi site, Ky Anh preserves the raw reality of wartime survival—cramped quarters, warning systems, everyday resilience. Lunch and transport included.

Mondello & The Royal Park of Favorita

Pedal through Palermo's coastal and royal heritage on this 4–5 hour guided cycle tour. Starting from the 19th-century fishing quarter of Borgo dell'Arenella—home to the Florio family's Belle Époque villa—you'll ride along the shoreline to the sandy stretch of Mondello, then inland through the sprawling Favorita Park. This 400-hectare former royal hunting ground, established in 1799, shelters the Palazzina Cinese, a Bourbon retreat. The route returns you to the city centre, weaving together Palermo's industrial past, maritime character and aristocratic landscapes.

Niu Che Shui Chinatown Murders Game Tour

When Jake from our BugBitten team ran the Niu Che Shui Chinatown Murders game tour, we stepped into a 2-hour puzzle hunt through Singapore's heritage quarter hunting a fictional serial killer. You're split into small teams (2–5 people) and given a game kit, then sent loose through the neighbourhood to solve clues at your own pace. The gamemaster stays in character throughout—a longtime Chinatown resident who weaves actual local history and people (Samsui women, money lenders, shop owners) into the narrative as you move between spots. It's a clever blend of crime-solving, local storytelling, and self-guided exploration that works because Chinatown itself is buzzing and atmospheric.

Bali Private Car Hire with Chauffeur

Skip the rental-car hassle and let an experienced driver navigate Bali's unpredictable streets while you decide the itinerary. This flexible private car hire spans 8–10 hours, with hotel or port pickup across major tourist areas. You set the pace and destinations—whether that's rice terraces near Ubud, Tanah Lot's clifftop temple, or beach towns like Kuta and Sanur—while your English-speaking chauffeur handles traffic, parking, and logistics.

Private Introduction to Vienna Walking Tour

When Alex from our team did this 3-hour walk through Vienna, we got the real story behind the city's grand facades. A historian guide steered us through centuries of empire, revolution, and reinvention, stopping at landmarks like Stephansdom and the Museum Quartier. Vienna's the kind of place where every corner has layers—Habsburg pomp, Austro-Hungarian politics, modern art galleries tucked beside medieval streets—and this tour picks the threads worth pulling. You're moving at a steady pace through the city centre, mixing with other small groups of curious types, mostly travellers and locals brushing up on their own backyard.

Catherine Horizon - Top Luxury - The Best Day & Dinner Cruise

Spend two days aboard the Catherine Horizon exploring Halong Bay's fishing villages, limestone karsts and hidden coves. This luxury cruise combines kayaking through emerald waters, hands-on cooking classes using local ingredients, tai chi at sunrise and visits to traditional communities. Meals and most activities are included, leaving you to simply unwind between experiences and soak in the bay's dramatic geology.

Historic Free Tour of Hamburg Old Warehouse District

When Ben from our team walked Die Speicherstadt in Hamburg, we got the real story behind this 19th-century warehouse district without the museum entry fees. The 100-minute free tour covers the district's guts as a trading powerhouse, architectural standouts like Chilehaus, and how it's reinvented itself today. You're walking through narrow lanes lined with red-brick giants and canals, mostly with other curious travellers. The pay-what-you-wish model means no upfront cost — just tip your guide at the end based on what you reckon it was worth.

2-Day Brisbane Electric Mountain Bike Rental

Hire a top-spec electric mountain bike for two days and explore Brisbane's trail network at your own pace. Each rig comes fully kitted with safety gear and repair essentials, maintained by Ben Forbes, a competitive racer who also advises on route selection and bike setup. Suits riders of any fitness level thanks to electric assist—you'll cover more ground and tackle climbs without gassing out. The rental includes a Gap Creek Trail Map to guide your exploration.

Old Military Jeep Tour Conquering Hai Van Pass

Tackle Hai Van Pass in a stripped-down US Army Jeep with an experienced driver, navigating one of Asia's most dramatic mountain crossings. This 5–7 hour circuit from Da Nang winds through cloud-wrapped peaks, past cascading waterfalls and forested ridges. You'll stop to photograph the panorama, breathe the cooler air at altitude, and soak in views that shift between jungle canopy and open sky. Lunch at a local seafood spot (your shout) breaks the journey.

Great Ocean Road Coastal Spectcular with Wildlife Wonders

This 11.5-hour coastal drive reverses the typical Great Ocean Road route to sidestep tour-bus queues and catch softer morning light at the 12 Apostles. You'll visit a working chocolate farm, descend into Loch Ard Gorge to hear its shipwreck history, walk through Otway Ranges rainforest, and lunch at a seaside cafe. The route follows the Surfcoast Shire's winding coastal road, stopping for photos and spotting wild koalas near Kennet River and kangaroos at Anglesea golf course. A quality ice-creamery visit rounds out the day.

Crystal River Manatee Swim & Snorkel Tour-Small Group Local guide

When Tom from our BugBitten team headed to Crystal River on Florida's Nature Coast, he was banking on a proper encounter with wild manatees—and the 3-hour snorkel didn't disappoint. You're in a small group boat cruising gin-clear shallows where these massive, gentle creatures drift past like underwater tanks. The guide's got real local knowledge about the animals and the ecosystem, and the whole vibe is respectful rather than circus-like. Gear's sorted (wetsuit, mask, snorkel), and they hand out hot chocolate and water between swims. It's peak winter season when manatees congregate, so you're in the right window.

Tour of Seaside and Cannon Beach

When Tom from our team ran this 3-hour coastal loop with Onward Adventures, we rolled from Seaside down to Cannon Beach in an air-conditioned van, stopping at the historic salt works, the rocky drama of Haystack Rock, and viewpoints across Ecola State Park. The Oregon coast here feels wilder than it looks from the highway—there's real maritime history layered into both towns, from the old salt-making operations to the lighthouse that locals genuinely call 'Terrible Tilly.' It's the kind of tour that works best if you're new to the region and want the geography and backstory before you pick your own deeper dives.

Hollywood Horror Story: The Black Dahlia Funeral Limo Tour

When Noah from our BugBitten team ran this tour, we climbed into a limo and followed the trail of Elizabeth Short's final days across Los Angeles—from the glamorous joints of 1940s Hollywood down to the grim South LA streets where her body was discovered in 1947. It's a three-hour true crime deep-dive that strips away the myth of the 'Black Dahlia' and shows you the actual woman and the unsolved case that still clings to the city's dark reputation. The limo format gives it an old-school vibe, though you're absolutely sitting with strangers the whole way.

Learn to Surf in Daytona Beach Beginner Surf Lessons for All

When Charlie from our team pitched up at Daytona Beach for a beginner surf lesson, we found a well-run operation that genuinely gets first-timers up and riding. The whole thing's pitched at absolute novices — families, couples, solo travellers keen to tick the box. You rock up to the local shop for a quick check-in, then head to the sand where instructors in lime-green rash guards walk you through the basics before you're paddling out. Most guests manage to stand up in that first two-hour session, which is genuinely rewarding and keeps the vibe upbeat.
