Charles Dickens Private Walking Tour

When Noah from our team tried this private walking tour, we traced the streets and settings that shaped Charles Dickens both as a man and a writer. London's a different place when you're hunting the real locations behind his novels — the neighbourhoods he wandered, the characters he observed, the grit he turned into prose. It's a 3-hour ramble through the city with a local guide who knows which corners sparked his imagination. You get picked up from your hotel, so no mucking about with the Tube, and it's just your group and the guide the whole way.

Intimate Montmartre Art & Gourmet Stroll – Private Experience

Wander Montmartre's winding streets on a three-hour private tour, tracing the footsteps of Picasso and Van Gogh through the neighbourhood's artistic heritage. You'll visit Renoir's gardens at the museum, watch working painters at Place du Tertre, climb to Sacré-Cœur for sweeping city views, and pause for pastries and coffee in a local café. A guided exploration of bohemian Paris tailored to your pace.

Coffee, Donuts & Chocolate Tour

When Mia from our BugBitten team did this Portland breakfast crawl, we clocked three hours hitting the city's best-loved coffee joints, artisanal donut spots, and chocolate makers across downtown. It's a walking tour through the Rose City's third-wave coffee scene—think specialty beans, wild donut flavour combos, and single-origin chocolate education. The vibe is relaxed and foodie-focused, packed with locals and visitors keen to actually taste what makes Portland's food culture tick, not just snap Instagram shots.

4 Hours Bottom Fishing Day by boat from Marbella

Spend four hours fishing the Mediterranean off Marbella's coast, targeting bottom-dwelling species from a working boat. A skipper guides technique and positioning whilst you handle rods and reels in open water. The crew supplies all equipment and bait; you bring patience and a willingness to get saltwater on your clothes. Soft drinks, water and snacks keep energy up between bites. This isn't spectating—you're actively fishing, not cruising.

Limo Private Transfer Boston to Logan International Airport

When Em from our team needed a ride to Logan from downtown Boston, we booked this private limo transfer to skip the usual airport shuttle chaos. It's a straightforward 30-minute door-to-door service that handles the corporate traveller, families with kids, and anyone who'd rather not wrestle luggage onto the T. The car arrives on time (they track flights), the driver knows the route cold, and you get a clean, air-conditioned cabin with water and WiFi to kill the journey. No surprises, no hidden costs—just reliable point-A-to-point-B luxury when you need it.

Platja de Migjorn Sailboat Trip

Spend seven hours sailing along Platja de Migjorn, one of Spain's most striking beaches, aboard a well-equipped sailboat with a knowledgeable skipper. You'll explore crystalline waters ideal for snorkelling and paddleboarding, with ample space to relax between swims. The boat comes fully provisioned with coolers, speakers, and safety gear, making it straightforward to spend the day afloat with minimal fuss. Families with young children are catered for, and no prior sailing experience is necessary.

Private Transfer from Rome to Positano with Stop a Pompeii

Skip the hassle of train changes and packed buses. A private driver whisks you from Rome to Positano in a comfortable, air-conditioned car, pausing for roughly two hours at Pompeii so you can explore the preserved Roman city without backtracking later. You arrive refreshed on the [Amalfi Coast](/places/amalfi-coast), ready to settle into your accommodation rather than scrambling to fit sightseeing in afterwards.

Private canyoning adventure in the Buitreras Canyon

Descend into Málaga's most dramatic canyon system with a local guide who knows every rappel and waterslide. This 6-hour private adventure takes you through the Buitreras Canyon, past the Alemanes Bridge and into the Los Alcornocales Natural Park. You'll abseil down rock faces, wade through pools, and navigate natural obstacles with proper kit and insurance. Optional lunch at a traditional Andalusian restaurant follows if you want to refuel on regional specialities.

Sunset Helicopter Tour-Miami Iconic Coast and City Views

When Em from our team booked this Miami helicopter tour, we were after unfiltered views of the coastline without the hype. Thirty-five minutes in the air sweeping from Fort Lauderdale down to Miami Beach lets you clock the sprawl of high-rises, the snap between ocean and city in a way ground-level never shows. It's straightforward aerial sightseeing — not a lesson in aviation history or a champagne-fuelled party (though you can add bubbles). The vibe is businesslike, the views genuinely good, and it's the kind of thing that works best if you've got a clear day and realistic expectations about what a helicopter ride actually delivers.

Make Your Own Gin Experience and Saigon Baigur Distillery Tour

When Ben from our team rolled up to Saigon Baigur in District 9, we weren't expecting much beyond a polished tourist experience — but the distillery actually surprised us. You get a proper walkthrough of Southeast Asia's largest premium gin operation, see the working stills, learn about Vietnamese botanicals, then design and distil your own bottle from scratch under a distiller's eye. It's three hours total, split between the factory floor, the gin-making classroom, and a wrap-up cocktail in the garden bar. The whole vibe feels genuinely hands-on rather than staged, and you leave with a personalised gin that's genuinely yours.

Full Day Tour Pompeii–Sorrento -Positano

An eight-hour drive through Campania's most storied coastline, connecting Pompeii's haunting ruins with the clifftop villages of Sorrento and Positano.

You'll cover ancient sites, dramatic seascapes, and charming towns at your own pace, with someone reliable managing the vehicle and tackling Campania's unpredictable roads.

Pompeii, Herculaneum & Mt. Vesuvius Guided Tour from Sorrento

A comprehensive 9-hour journey from Sorrento through three of southern Italy's most significant archaeological sites. Spend two hours with a licensed guide exploring Pompeii's street-level ruins, then move to Herculaneum where volcanic ash preserved timber beams and household objects in striking detail. The day concludes with a hike up Mount Vesuvius itself, the volcano responsible for both sites' preservation, offering views across the Bay of Naples from the crater rim.

Photography & Sightseeing in Whistler & Squamish

When Em from our BugBitten team ran this 8-hour tour, we found a genuinely solid blend of hiking and photography tuition along the Sea to Sky corridor. Your guide — someone with over two decades of camera and trail experience — picks you up from your accommodation, drives you through Squamish and Whistler, and spends the day teaching landscape photography while you're actually out on the walks. Small-group setup means real one-on-one feedback on composition, light, and how to nail shots of waterfalls and old-growth forest. The area itself is gorgeous and relatively quiet compared to some Canadian tourist circuits, and you'll also pick up some context on the local Squamish First Nations.

Icefields Pkwy: Lake Louise | Bow | Peyto|Glacier - PRIVATE TOUR

When Em from our team booked this private tour along the Icefields Parkway, we got a full day of the Canadian Rockies' showstopper lakes and glaciers without the tour-bus crowds. The route strings together Lake Louise, Bow Lake, Peyto Lake, and the Athabasca Glacier—some genuinely stunning stops—with a licensed driver handling the winding mountain roads while you take in the scenery. It's a 10–12 hour haul depending on how long you linger, and the vehicle comes cleaned between trips. Best for groups wanting flexibility and no navigation stress, though the guide here is more point-and-drive than deep-dive storyteller.

Whistler Intro to Backcountry Skiing and Splitboarding

When Alex from our team tried this intro to backcountry skiing and splitboarding near Whistler, we stepped beyond the resort boundary into quiet, untracked terrain — proper backcountry, but with the safety net of a professional guide walking us through the fundamentals. The day runs 6–8 hours depending on snow and fitness, and you're sharing the experience with a small group (max 6 people). It's not a gentle introduction: you'll need intermediate-level skiing or snowboarding chops and solid cardiovascular fitness to enjoy it rather than suffer through it.

West Kelowna Wine Trail - Visit 5 wineries

When Lily from our BugBitten team booked the West Kelowna Wine Trail, she expected a straightforward tasting circuit—instead, she found herself part of a cheerful, costume-friendly romp through five Okanagan Valley wineries. The tour hits a rotating selection of spots (Crown & Thieves, Frind, Mt Boucherie, Indigenous World, Black Swift, Quails Gate and others), each pouring award-winning drops and offering views over vineyards and the lake. The whole thing runs 4–7 hours depending on how keen you are, and the vibe is decidedly more playful than pretentious. It's the kind of outing where dressing up in a theme is actively encouraged—not mocked.

You'll get four hours of guided attention and the flexibility to linger where things grab you, backed by door-to-door private transport.

The Secrets of Coco Chanel : Unraveling the Fashion Icon

A 90-minute walking tour through Paris that traces Gabrielle Chanel's rise from obscurity to fashion revolutionary. An actress performs scenes from Coco's life as you pass the Ritz and Rue Cambon headquarters, exploring how personal reinvention and business acumen built a global luxury empire. The tour balances her creative breakthroughs with the complexities of her character, revealing what lay beneath the legendary persona.

Wine SPA and Salt Cave for 1-12 people

When Sarah from our BugBitten team tried Beer Baths Letna in central Prague, she stepped into one of Central Europe's more unusual spa experiences — a sprawling wellness complex built on old Czech bathing traditions, but with a modern twist. You soak in your choice of wine, beer, or luxury wellness baths (single or couples' tubs with whirlpool), followed by time in Prague's largest salt cave, complete with a 16th-century well and salt fireplace. It's intimate — max 12 people across the baths — and runs about an hour, though there's no rush to leave after your soak.

Prague Penthouse Party with After Party Access

When Tom from our team hit this Prague penthouse bash, it was exactly what you'd hope for on a buzzy Friday night in the city centre. You're looking at six hours of rooftop views, a live DJ, open-bar drinks (two hours' worth), and a crowd of travellers keen to swap stories and dance. The real kicker is the included ticket to Epic Prague afterwards, so when the penthouse winds down, you roll straight into one of the city's biggest clubs. It's polished without feeling stuffy, and the vibe leans properly social.

Half Day Gold Coast Brewery Tour

Spend three to four hours exploring the Gold Coast's craft beer scene with a local guide. Visit three working breweries, taste their signature brews, and learn how the region's hop industry has flourished. Small groups keep things intimate whilst you chat directly with brewers and discover what sets each operation apart. The tour departs from designated Gold Coast meeting points—note that it's roughly an hour by train from Brisbane CBD to the starting location.

Tours of Santa Barbara . ( Private ) 6 hours .

When Jake from our team ran this Santa Barbara private tour, he covered a lot of ground in six hours—the operator promises a proper mix of well-known spots and quieter local finds across the region's varied landscape. You're driven in an air-conditioned vehicle with a guide, a photographer tagging along to grab shots, and lunch thrown in if there are three or more of you. The whole thing is designed to move, not dawdle: expect sustained walking, stairs, and some light climbing, which is why they cap participants at 62 years old and enforce a minimum fitness level. It's not a coach-full-of-tourists affair—this is private and hands-on.

Two-and-a-half hours of curated stops and creative direction, with all images and video handed over the same day.

Vy's Kitchen Private Cooking Experience

Spend four and a half hours cooking with Chef Vy in Hoi An, starting with a farm and market run to source ingredients, then building a meal from family recipes in the bistro kitchen. You'll eat what you've made in the relaxed dining room afterwards. Vespa transfers from central Hoi An are included.

Super Sugamo Local Foodie Adventure

Wander through Sugamo, a neighbourhood that's fed Tokyoites for a century, with a local guide who knows every shopkeeper by name. You'll graze at five food stops, sit down for a proper lunch, and finish with a sweet treat—the kind you can't find anywhere else in the city. Three hours, no tourist crowds, the sort of afternoon that sticks with you.

Minneapolis Local Bar Tour with Tastings

When Lily from our BugBitten team ran this Minneapolis bar tour, she got a proper sense of why locals are genuinely proud of their drinking spots. Over two and a half hours, you'll hit a handful of carefully picked bars across different neighbourhoods, guided by someone who actually knows the city's character and can chat properly with bartenders who've weathered decades of brutal winters and sports heartbreak. It's less about racking up drinks and more about understanding what these places mean to the people who keep them alive.

When Sarah from our BugBitten team ran this private tour around Kefalonia's northwest coast, she got a proper taste of why this island draws both backpackers and the yacht-set. You're driven through four contrasting spots — the cave system at Melissani, the pastel-washed harbour village of Assos with its Venetian ruins, the earthquake-spared elegance of Fiskardo (now a billionaires' playground), and a photo stop overlooking Myrtos Beach's dramatic white cliffs. It's an 8–9 hour loop, all by private car with air con, so you're not sweating on a minibus with 40 others. Meals aren't included, so you'll want to budget for lunch somewhere along the way.

4h Executive Private Tour Bucharest City - Fabulos Experience

When Charlie from our team took this 4-hour private tour through Bucharest, it felt like having a local mate in the driver's seat—literally. You get a dedicated guide and car (just your group), so you're not herding with 30 other tourists. The route hits the obvious landmarks: the enormous Palace of Parliament, the Village Museum (a bit of a time-jump into rural Romania), Calea Victoriei's grand avenue, Revolution Square, and the Patriarhy Church. It's pitched as flexible, so if something grabs you, you can linger. Bucharest itself has that post-Soviet vibe—grand old bones, street art, and traffic chaos—which makes exploring it on your own terms genuinely worthwhile.

Make Valencian 'Pizza' in Ruzafa

Learn to make coca, Valencia's answer to pizza, during this hands-on 3.5-hour session in the Ruzafa neighbourhood. You'll shop the local market with your instructor to handpick seasonal vegetables, then build and bake your own crispy beer-based dough creations. The naturally vegan recipe travels home easily, and you'll wrap up with a market-sourced lunch featuring seasonal sides and homemade dessert—sorbet and fruit in summer, cooked fruit compotes in winter.

Private Photoshoot in London

When Charlie from our team booked a private photoshoot in London, we got a proper sense of what it's like to be on the other side of the camera without the usual awkwardness. Nikole runs a 1-hour session focused on portrait, couples and family work—the kind where she handles the composition side and you're left to just exist naturally. She scouts locations beforehand, helps you pick outfits that work, and leans on a decade of shooting across Europe and beyond to catch genuine moments rather than stiff poses. It's intimate, one-on-one work in a city that's frankly full of photogenic corners.

Bali ATV Adventure – Explore Ubud Trails, Rice Fields & Waterfall

Blast through Ubud's backcountry on a quad bike, navigating jungle tracks, rice paddies, and forest paths that most visitors never find. This 90-minute guided ride follows terrain that shifts between adrenaline-pumping descents and slower, photo-friendly stretches. You'll pass working rice fields, spot waterfalls tucked into ravines, and emerge mud-splattered and grinning. Guides handle safety and route-finding; you just grip the handlebars and stay alert.

Lan Ha Bay Day Tour From Ha Noi - Daiichi Cruise (VIP3)

When Noah from our team ran this 14-hour Lan Ha Bay cruise from Hanoi, it ticked the boxes for a solid all-in maritime day out. You leave Hanoi early, drive to Cat Ba Island, then board the Daiichi — a VIP-tier vessel — for swimming, kayaking, and a Vietnamese cooking class sandwiched between seafood lunch and a sunset tea spread. The bay itself is a knockout: limestone karsts rising from turquoise water, dotted with floating villages and quiet anchorages. It's a sweet spot between tourist infrastructure and actual scenery, and suits couples, small groups, and families after a day away from the city.

Private Boat Tour : Discover Lake Como

When Tom from our team took this private boat tour on Lake Como, we got a taste of what the lake really offers beyond the postcard villas. You're out on the water with a captain and crew for anywhere between 1 and 4 hours, plotting your own course along the shoreline — stopping to swim in proper clear water, nosing into villages like Nesso, or cruising past the grand estates that line the banks. It's the sort of flexible setup that works for couples after a quiet morning on the water or families wanting to mix movement with downtime. The vibe is relaxed; you're moving at your pace, not herded through a schedule.
