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

Archery Session Inside & Outside
When Sarah from our BugBitten team tried this archery session in Wales, she started with traditional target challenges indoors or outdoors depending on conditions — then, if the weather played ball, moved on to aerial archery, a bow-and-arrow take on clay shooting that's unique to this venue in Wales. The whole thing runs one hour, pitched at complete beginners through to folks with prior experience. The setup is relaxed: covered waiting areas, level paddocks, and the flexibility to shift between inside and outside means weather rarely ruins the shoot.

One Hour Off-Road Driving Adventure in Las Vegas
When Alex from our BugBitten team took the wheel of a Can-Am Maverick X3 in the Nevada desert, it was a proper adrenaline hit—and only 15 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. This one-hour guided off-road adventure throws you at rock climbs, washes and sand dunes with a professional instructor leading the way. You swap drivers halfway through, so both passengers get their turn tearing up the trails. It's the kind of thing that feels wild but stays firmly in capable hands, and the desert backdrop—all rust-coloured rock and open sky—makes the whole thing feel bigger than just an hour in the city's backyard.

Private Bourbon Distillery Tour with Transportation in Louisville
When Jake from our BugBitten team organised a private bourbon tour in Louisville, he appreciated the no-fuss setup — a driver picks you up from your hotel, Airbnb, or home, and takes your group around Kentucky's distillery belt at whatever pace suits. You can hit Buffalo Trace, Glenn's Creek, or other spots depending on your crew's interests and energy levels. The whole thing runs between 6 and 12 hours, so it's flexible enough for a half-day or full-day deep-dive into how bourbon gets made and what it tastes like. It beats driving yourself through Kentucky heat.

From Rethymno Private Tour to Spili Kourtaliotiko Kalypso Beach
When Lily from our BugBitten team ran this full-day private tour from Rethymno, she found a genuinely quiet alternative to the packed northern coast. You hit three distinct zones—the hilltop village of Spili with its local crafts and Venetian fountains, the dramatic Kourtaliotiko Gorge carved into limestone, and Kalypso Beach near Plakias, a quieter swimming spot with snorkeling potential. The day winds down with a proper Cretan dinner at a locals' taverna. Seven to eight hours total, door-to-door, with your own guide and transport.

Full day tour to Lake Bled & Ljubljana from Trieste-private tour
Depart Trieste for an eight-hour loop through Slovenia's standout sights. Glide across Lake Bled in a traditional wooden boat, explore the clifftop castle, then sample the region's famous cream cake before heading to Ljubljana. The capital reveals itself on foot—wander Triple Bridge, admire architect Plečnik's bold civic designs, nose around the Central Market, and hunt down local eating spots with your guide's insider tips.

MIAMI Beach Wedding or Vow Renewal Ceremony
When Lily from our BugBitten team looked into this, it's a stripped-back beach ceremony setup on Miami's actual pretty stretches of sand — turquoise water, proper white sand, the works. A Florida-licensed officiant runs either a wedding or vow renewal in English or German, you get roses, 50 photos afterwards, and a champagne toast to cap it. The whole thing sits at an hour, and it draws couples after the big-venue fatigue or anniversary milestones. The beach itself is public, so you're sharing the space with swimmers and sunbathers — which is honest Miami, not a cordoned-off fantasy.

Ketchikan Mountain Lake Trek to Avalanche Chute
When Em from our team ran this trek near Ketchikan, we hiked a crisp 4-mile loop through Southeast Alaska's temperate rainforest with just six other people and the tour operator himself. The first mile hugs a forested lake on gravel track, then the trail steepens through old-growth Sitka spruce into rougher terrain — roots, rocks, moss-draped trees — before opening onto an avalanche chute at 1100 feet. You're one of only two groups a day allowed here, which keeps it genuinely quiet. The whole outing takes about 3 hours and sits as a solid mid-level walk for fit hikers keen on rainforest ecology and the region's logging past.

Private Balloon Flight Over Mallorca for Two People
Rise above Mallorca's coastline in a private hot-air balloon with your travel companion, drifting across the island's varied terrain for three to four hours. Most flights launch near the sea, though wind conditions determine your actual route. You'll drift silently above the landscape, witnessing the island from a perspective few travellers experience. The flight includes WiFi access and operates year-round, with optional breakfast available May to October if arranged ahead.

Private One-Way Transfer in Mykonos
When Charlie from our BugBitten team needed a lift around Mykonos, we booked this private one-way transfer and found it straightforward and hassle-free. The service picks you up from wherever you're staying—airport, port, hotel, villa in the hills, doesn't matter—and takes you to your destination without the airport-transfer-desk shuffle. You get a clean, air-conditioned vehicle, a driver who knows the island and speaks English, and real-time tracking so they adjust if your flight's delayed. It's the kind of thing that sounds like a luxury but works like a utility: reliable, no faffing, no waiting in transfer queues with thirty other tourists.

Private Transfer Between Athens Airport & Piraeus Port
When Noah from our BugBitten team booked a private transfer from Athens airport to Piraeus port, we were curious whether a solo shuttle ride could actually feel like a service rather than a logistics job. The driver met us at baggage claim with a namecard, loaded our bags without fuss, and we slid into a clean car stocked with cold water and USB chargers. The 45–55 minute run into the port district is straightforward — you'll thread through Athens traffic and urban sprawl, but the whole thing's designed for one thing: getting you and your luggage from plane to ship without stress. It's not a sightseeing jaunt; it's a reliable handoff.

Naxos: Countryside Hike Among Villages & Byzantine Churches
When Lily from our team did this hike around Naxos, we tackled a 4.5-hour loop starting and finishing in Halki, a village lined with neoclassical stone buildings that feel frozen in time. The route threads through the Tragea valley—olive groves, figs, citrus trees—stopping at Byzantine churches dating back to the 6th century, some still decorated with frescoes. We ducked into a folklore museum in Kaloxylos, toured a local distillery making Kitron liqueur, then wrapped up with a taverna meal. It's the kind of walk where history isn't just backdrop; it's everywhere you step.

Cape Sounio and Temple of Poseidon Private Trip from Athens
When Tom from our BugBitten team booked this private drive, we picked up in Athens and headed south along the coast toward Cape Sounio. The trip runs about 5 hours 15 minutes return, whisking you past the Athens Riviera's sprawl before the landscape opens up toward the Temple of Poseidon perched on a clifftop. You get a Mercedes minibus (or taxi, depending on group size) with an English-speaking driver who'll handle the steering but won't escort you around the ruins themselves. It's a straightforward coastal run ideal if you want to see one of Greece's biggest ancient sites without the organised-tour bustle.

Santiago Food Tour Tapas Drinks and Delights with a Local
Walk through Santiago's old town with a local guide who knows where the best tapas hide. Over three-and-a-half hours, you'll stop at four neighbourhood spots, tasting classics like tortilla de patata, pulpo a la gallega, and local cheese whilst learning the stories behind each dish. By the end you'll have eaten a full meal's worth, plus regional wines and drinks, whilst supporting the small bars and restaurants that define Galician food culture.

Walking tour through the old town with a Dutch-speaking city guide
A 2.5-hour walking tour of Valencia's old town led by a Dutch-speaking local guide, covering architectural landmarks spanning centuries. You'll explore the train station, Central Market, Plaza Redonda, the Cathedral, and the 15th-century Silk Exchange—a UNESCO World Heritage site. The route also takes in Carmen district's contemporary street art scene, hitting spots inaccessible to bike tours and ending with insider tips for the rest of your stay.

Anchorage Ice Fishing Adventure with transportation
When Mia from our BugBitten team tried this Anchorage ice fishing adventure, she got a proper taste of Alaskan winter on a frozen lake just outside the city. The 4-hour outing has you drilling through ice with an electric auger, watching for fish through holes or on sonar, and keeping an eye out for moose and bald eagles at the water's edge. It's genuinely the only setup like it in the Anchorage area — a low-key, hands-on way to experience the landscape without needing any prior fishing chops. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, which cuts out the logistics headache.

Rome Vespa and Fiat 500 Small Group Tour with Photoshoot option
Tear through Rome's backstreets on a Vespa or vintage Fiat 500, hitting both postcard landmarks and neighbourhood spots locals actually frequent. This 90-minute small-group jaunt trades the tour-bus crawl for something genuinely stylish—you're a passenger, so no licence needed, just enjoy the ride and the city unfolding around you. Stop for gelato or tiramisu, get professional shots of yourself and your ride, and leave with the photos to prove you did Rome properly.

Palma de Mallorca: PRIVATE Local Food And Cathedral Experience
A three-hour private walk through Palma de Mallorca led by a local guide who reveals the city beyond the obvious. You'll navigate hidden courtyards, cloisters and gardens before entering the Cathedral of Light, then hunt for coded merchant marks in the Jewish quarter's narrow lanes. The tour weaves in tastings at a working market and a centuries-old bakery, plus nuns' biscuits and local wines—a genuine flavour of how Palmaians actually eat and move through their own city.

Enduro adventure directly at Zion National Park
When Jake from our team took this enduro ride near Zion, he discovered the red-rock country from a perspective most visitors miss — bouncing across trails on a sport motorcycle with a local guide steering him through the landscape. You're on a properly maintained two-stroke or four-stroke enduro bike, wearing full gear, hitting terrain that's rugged enough to feel genuinely adventurous without being reckless. It's three and a half hours of proper off-road riding, not a casual spin. Southern Utah's canyons and buttes roll past at speed, and the adrenaline level sits somewhere between "I'm definitely awake" and "this is proper intense."

Small Group Hoover Dam, Powerplant & O'Callahan Bridge Tour
When Tom from our BugBitten team ran this small group tour, it hit the engineering-nerd sweet spot. You're driven from your Las Vegas hotel out to the Hoover Dam, stopping for the obligatory Fabulous Sign photo, breakfast at a chain café, and a Lake Mead overlook before getting the real goods: a guided walk across the O'Callahan-Tillman Bridge and a proper tour through the dam's power plant. It's six hours total, intimate group size, and designed to actually show you how the thing works rather than just stand you at a railing.

Newfoundland A Coastal Journey Private Tour 4 people 6 Hrs
When Alex from our BugBitten team ran this tour, we got a proper six-hour coastal experience around St Johns rather than the rushed two-hour dash most operators offer. The SUV kept us comfortable (max 4 passengers) while our guide steered us through the city's historic corners — we climbed Cabot Tower, explored working lighthouses, walked to the continent's edge, and watched local fishermen hauling their catch. St Johns itself is a compact, colourful harborside town with genuine maritime character, and this tour lets you actually breathe it in instead of just grabbing a photo and moving on.

NYC Exclusive West Village Speakeasy and Gangsters Tour
When Charlie from our team did this West Village walking tour, we got a proper feel for how Prohibition-era New York actually operated in the neighbourhood's crooked streets. You're guided through the laneways where 1920s rebels and speakeasies thrived, hitting landmarks like the Hess Triangle and the Stonewall Inn while picking up stories about the area's underground culture. The real draw is access to three bars steeped in gangster lore—including The 86, the former Chumley's where the phrase "getting 86'd" originated, and a hidden speakeasy tucked above a burger joint. It's a two-hour blend of neighbourhood history and drinking stops that reads like a proper piece of NYC's murkier past.

Rome Private Car & Chauffeur for Business, Shopping, Sightseeing
Hire a private car and driver in Rome for 4 or 8 hours, letting you set the pace and choose where to go. You get an air-conditioned sedan or minivan with a professional driver who knows the city, plus unlimited pickups and drop-offs anywhere—airport, station, or hotel. Skip the stress of navigating Roman traffic and parking; instead, focus on what matters while your driver handles the roads. Mileage (up to 80 or 160 km) is included.

Private Tokyo Early Morning Tour (English & Spanish Available)
Beat the Tokyo rush with a five-hour private walking tour led by a local guide who speaks English or Spanish. Visit [Shibuya Crossing](/places/shibuya-crossing), Meiji Shrine, and Asakusa while the city's quieter—your guide handles navigation, photography, and insider recommendations so you can absorb the neighbourhoods without phone fatigue. Temple and shrine entry fees are covered, and you'll leave with both images and local knowledge.

Private Guided Visit to the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba
A private guided tour through Córdoba's Mosque-Cathedral traces its evolution from 8th-century Islamic sanctuary to Renaissance-era Christian basilica. Over 75–90 minutes, your guide walks you through the building's architectural layers, explaining how successive generations left their mark on this landmark. You'll see how the Umayyad prayer hall transformed when Christians repurposed it, with new construction—notably the cathedral transept—layered atop the original columns and arches. The result is a rare building where two faiths shaped the same stone.

WarmVenice Private Boat Tour between Canals and Venice Lagoon
A Venice native steers you through hidden canals and across the lagoon in a private boat built for no more than four passengers. This 90-minute tour trades the usual gondola routes for quieter waterways, where your skipper—a photographer himself—shares the stories that actually matter to locals. Pick your time: sunrise for soft light and stillness, dusk for the city's colour shift, or daytime if you want to capture strong photographs. Wine, soft drinks and nibbles come aboard, so you settle in rather than rush through.

Mykonos Private Chauffeur with Flexible Hourly Options
When Mia from our BugBitten team booked a private chauffeur for a day exploring Mykonos, it was a straightforward swap from the usual island bus shuffle. You pick the hours—6, 8, or 12—and a driver collects you from your hotel, villa, or airport, then takes you wherever you fancy: beaches, towns, sunset spots, the lot. The cars are polished Mercedes and Vito vans with leather seats and AC that actually works. It's the kind of service that removes friction from a holiday, though it's positioned firmly at the premium end of getting around.

Central Phoenix Screamix Ghost Tour
When Ben from our team did the Central Phoenix Screamix Ghost Tour, we expected the usual haunted-house spiel. Instead, we got a proper paranormal investigation through downtown Phoenix's creepiest corners—Hotel San Carlos, the Orpheum Theatre, and more. You're handed actual ghost-hunting gear (EMF detectors, spirit boxes, dowsing rods) and sent looking for real evidence. It's locally run, not a franchise script, with stories tied to actual Phoenix history rather than Hollywood dramatics. Two hours of walking around a genuinely eerie part of the city, stopping frequently, testing equipment, and listening to guides who actually know their stuff.

Canyoning in Rio Verde with photos from Granada
Descend into Rio Verde's dramatic canyon system near Granada with a small crew and a guide who knows every rappel and pool. Seven hours of scrambling through ravines, jumping into emerald basins, and navigating natural rock formations. You'll get professional photos and video of the day so you have proof of what you actually did, not just what you imagined doing. Bilingual guide manages the technical bits; air-conditioned transport handles the drive there and back.

National Portrait Gallery and American Art Museum Tour: 8ppl Max
When Tom from our BugBitten team ran this tour, we got a solid primer on American portraiture and art housed in the grand old Patent Office Building in Washington DC. The 2.5-hour small-group setup (capped at 8 people) meant we could actually hear the guide and move at a decent pace through two sprawling museums without feeling herded. It's the kind of tour that works best if you're new to DC or want someone else to curate the highlights rather than wandering both collections solo.

Private Sailing Boat Tour Classic Lake Como with Aperitif
Sail across Lake Como on the EAGLE, a 44-foot classic sailboat built for comfort and grace. This private charter runs 2–7 hours depending on your preference, taking you past legendary villas and hidden villages whilst you relax on deck. Your skipper shares local lore about the landscape and landmarks, whilst you sip aperitifs and dip into crystalline waters. No rushed schedules, no crowds—just you, the boat, and one of Italy's most stunning Alpine lakes.

Private Photo Shoot in Seville : Cathedral + Santa Cruz Quarter
A 90-minute to 2-hour private photo session through Seville's Cathedral quarter and Santa Cruz neighbourhood, where a professional photographer guides you through the district's quietest courtyards and most photogenic alleyways. Rather than posing stiffly at famous landmarks, you'll walk naturally through orange-tree-lined streets and flower-draped corners while the photographer captures candid moments that reveal the neighbourhood's authentic character. Each shot gets professionally edited and delivered in high resolution.

Heathrow Airport Transfer To & From Central London - Meet & Greet
When Tom from our BugBitten team used this Heathrow transfer service, it was a straightforward private car pickup with a driver waiting at arrivals to whisk him into central London. The service focuses on the basics: a clean, air-conditioned vehicle, bottled water, and reliable point-to-point transport without the faff of public transit queues or navigating the Tube with luggage. It's pitched as personalised, award-winning service for travellers wanting a stress-free arrival or departure. Duration runs 1–2 hours depending on traffic and your London destination.

Private Shore Excursion from Civitavecchia Dock to Rome, Mercedes Vehicle
Escape the port for a private nine-hour exploration of Rome by Mercedes, departing at 8am from Civitavecchia dock and returning by 5pm. Your English-speaking driver navigates you through the capital's major landmarks, offering commentary on each stop whilst you sit back and absorb the history. The route is customisable to your interests, and the vehicle accommodates up to eight passengers, making it an efficient way to see Rome without the hassle of public transport or crowded tour groups.

Buffet Cook and Go Tenerife
Chef Roberto Medda brings a full buffet spread directly to your villa for 3 hours, handling all cooking and setup before leaving you to serve yourselves. Perfect for birthday gatherings and celebrations across Tenerife, this private dining experience eliminates kitchen stress while delivering restaurant-quality food in your own space. You'll find everything prepped, plated and ready—just heat, eat and enjoy your guests without the usual host duties.

Airport and City Transfers in New Orleans
When Mia from our BugBitten team landed in New Orleans at an ungodly hour, this transfer service pulled through without fuss. It's a straightforward airport-to-hotel run in a clean, air-conditioned car with a driver who knew the city and kept the chat to a friendly minimum. The 30-minute journey into the French Quarter or wherever you're headed feels smooth because everything's sorted upfront—no surprise charges, no negotiating fare once you're tired and jet-lagged. Handy if you're rolling in solo or with a small crew and just want to get from Louis Armstrong to your accommodation without drama.

Private full-day wine tour in the Hunter Valley
Explore Hunter Valley's vineyards on a fully customised private tour led by Clive, a lifelong valley resident since 2019. This 6–7 hour experience suits couples and small groups up to four people, with no fixed route—you decide the pace, wineries, and focus. Travel in a cool, comfortable vehicle with bottled water included. Clive fields questions freely and shapes each day around your interests, whether you're chasing Shiraz education or simply want to discover lesser-known cellar doors at your own rhythm.

Highlights of Northern Vietnam In 6 Days
When Jake from our team ran this six-day loop, we ticked off northern Vietnam's headline acts without feeling rushed. The itinerary strings together Hanoi's street-food chaos and French-colonial bones, the rice-terrace hikes around Sapa where you meet Hmong and Red Dao villagers living much as their ancestors did, and closes with Halong Bay's limestone theatre. You're on coaches between stops, staying in towns rather than villages, so it's structured tourism—but the span lets you feel the north's proper range, from urban sprawl to mountain mist to seascape.

Photoshoot in London with Professional Photographer
When Em from our BugBitten team booked a private photoshoot across London with Tasha, we got a proper sense of how straightforward and relaxed the whole thing is. You pick your iconic spots—anywhere from the South Bank to quieter corners—and spend 90 minutes (or longer, depending on your package) getting shot in a way that actually feels natural rather than stiff. Tasha runs a chatty, low-pressure operation; you walk away with 20–40 polished images in 2–4 weeks. It's aimed at everyone: solo travellers after solo shots, couples marking an anniversary, friends wanting a group moment, even proposal-ready travellers.

Kobe 6hr Private Tour with Government-Licensed Guide
A six-hour guided walk through Kobe with a government-certified English-speaking guide who knows the city's history and culture inside out. The port city cascades from hillsides to the waterfront and rewards wandering on foot. You pick three to four sites from Kobe's best—temples, markets, museums, neighbourhoods—and the guide tailors the day around what interests you. Compact enough to manage in a single outing from Osaka or Kyoto.
