Thailand

X Quad Samui ATV Tour (Driver+Passenger) with lunch

Tear through Koh Samui's forested highlands on your own quad bike, peeling away from the coastal crowds to explore mountain trails and hidden corners. This four-hour adventure from Maenam includes hotel transfers and a roadside lunch to refuel. You'll navigate rough terrain alongside a guide, discovering how locals actually live beyond the resort strip. No experience needed—just a willingness to get dusty.

Montserrat Monastery and Hiking Experience with Cable Car

Climb above [Barcelona](/places/barcelona) to Montserrat Monastery on this 6.5-hour guided excursion with a local mountain expert. Skip the queues at the monastery, then take the Sant Joan funicular to the peak and descend through the natural park on a 3km hike, weaving between distinctive rock pillars and taking in sprawling views. Your guide covers the region's geological and spiritual heritage. The tour wraps at a farmers market before returning to the city, with small groups capped at eight.

Climbing in Mørkvedhallen Klatresenter

When Charlie from our team tried Mørkvedhallen Klatresenter, we found a welcoming indoor climbing gym where absolute beginners and experienced climbers tackle the same walls at their own pace. Set in Norway, this spot draws a mixed crowd — locals, tourists, families — and the three-hour session gave us enough time to get properly oriented, work through some routes, and actually feel like we'd progressed. The instructors walk you through the autobelay system, kit you out with harness and shoes, then let you loose on everything from low bouldering walls to a proper high wall that most of us reached by the end.

Tromsø: Easy Winter Kayaking Tour with Seal Watching

When Mia from our BugBitten team paddled out from Håkøybotn on Kvaløya island, the arctic winter lay flat and clear around her — mountains rising sharp against the polar twilight, water so transparent you could see straight down. This five-hour kayaking tour runs year-round, but winter's the real test: you're wrapped in a drysuit, paddling past seals that actually live in the bay, watching for the aurora if you're lucky. The operator keeps group sizes small and pairs you with a local guide who knows these waters intimately. It's a genuine, low-impact way to see the arctic from sea level, and you can reach it by public bus straight from Tromsø town.

Hanoi City Sightseeing and Street Food Tour

Navigate Hanoi's backstreets and hidden quarters by motorbike, stopping to eat at neighbourhood spots locals actually frequent. Your driver handles the bike while you soak in the city's rhythm and taste your way through four hours of dishes you won't find in guidebooks. Hit pockets of the Old Quarter, French colonial zones and working neighbourhoods that stay invisible from taxis and tour buses. Lunch or dinner included, plus all the usual suspects: beer, soft drinks, coffee.

Fully Tailored Private Bespoke Tour of Margaret River

Build your own Margaret River experience with a private guide who tailors the day to your interests. Over four to seven hours, you'll navigate wineries, artisan producers and dining venues in a comfortable vehicle, accessing tasting rooms and producers off-limits to standard tours. Whether you want to chat with winemakers, walk vineyard rows, or graze on local cheeses and chocolate, the itinerary bends to what excites you.

Private Pilsner brewery and Pilsen tour from Prague All-Inclusive

When Noah from our team took this private tour, we found ourselves heading south from Prague to Pilsen—a gritty industrial city that punches well above its weight. The day centres on the Pilsner Urquell brewery, where you'll walk through the working plant and taste fresh, unfiltered lager straight from oak barrels. But there's more than beer here: the city's got genuine history (a massive synagogue, a soaring cathedral tower) and the Skoda engineering legacy. You're looking at 6–7 hours door-to-door with a private guide-driver, a meal included, and the whole thing tailored to your pace—or tweaked for families if needed.

Mornington Peninsula Coastal Discovery Tour from Melbourne

Skip the epic Great Ocean Road slog and hit the Mornington Peninsula's southern coastline instead. This eight-hour day trip trades distance for density—clifftop walks, fishing villages, and Port Phillip vistas packed into one outing with a local guide and small group. You'll explore Point Nepean National Park on foot or bike, wander Sorrento's beachside streets, and chase views that rival the famous road but without the crowds or windscreen time.

Private Kitesurfing Lessons for All Levels in Tarifa

Learn kitesurfing on Lances Beach, one of Europe's premier venues for the sport.

Mountain Hike & Thermal Springs - private full day tour

A private full-day outing combining a mountain hike through Valencia's canyon landscapes with a soak in Montanejos' natural thermal pools. Choose between a challenging 9 km loop through pine-forested gorges (3 hours) or an easier 6 km route (2 hours). The springs maintain a constant 25°C, perfect for swimming after exertion. You'll also see a dramatic horizontal water jet from a local dam. Seven to eight hours total, with lunch either sourced locally or brought along.

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.

Miami Private Boat Rental with Champagne, Sandbars & Floating Mat

When Mia from our team booked this private boat rental, we found ourselves on a 30-foot Sea Ray heading out into Miami Bay with the city skyline as our backdrop. You get three hours to cruise past the Venetian Islands (those mansion-lined waterways are genuinely impressive), swing by Sister's sandbars for a swim, and bounce around on the floating mat while sipping champagne. It's the kind of setup that works for a group celebration or a lazy afternoon on the water—casual enough that you're not fussed about shoes, but polished enough that you won't feel like you're slumming it.

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.

Private Guided Traditional Buddhist Cooking in Japan

Master Kyoto's plant-based temple cooking tradition in a hands-on 2.5-hour session. You'll prepare several dishes rooted in Buddhist culinary practice—a centuries-old vegan discipline born from monastic principles—using seasonal vegetables, tofu, grains, fermented ingredients and seaweed. Each recipe reveals the restraint and precision underlying Japanese cuisine. Leave with techniques and recipes you won't replicate from restaurant meals.

Experience Sushi Making Class in Tokyo

Spend two and a half hours in a Tokyo kitchen learning to craft sushi from scratch. You'll roll nigiri and maki, prepare two accompanying dishes, and discover the Japanese ingredients and seasonings that define the cuisine. The instructor demonstrates each technique before you take the lead, so you leave with genuine skills rather than just tourist photos. Vegetarian options available on request.

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.

Waitomo Glowworm & Ruakuri Twin Cave - Private Tour From Auckland

When Jake from our team booked this private tour from Auckland, we knew the two-cave combo was the way to go. You're looking at 11 hours door-to-door: a comfortable minibus ride south to Waitomo, a boat trip through the Glowworm Caves (those native Arachnocampa Luminosa really do glow), a proper walking tour through Ruakuri Cave's Cathedral section, a BBQ lunch, and the drive back. It's the full Waitomo experience, and it works because you're not herded around with fifty other tourists.

4x4 guided tour to otherworldly Moonscape Overlook/Factory Butte

When Alex from our BugBitten team ran this 4x4 tour, we headed into Utah's most photogenic badlands to scout Moonscape Overlook and Factory Butte—two spots that have blown up on Instagram but remain genuinely stunning when you're standing there. The terrain looks genuinely alien: rippled clay, rust-coloured ridges, and zero vegetation for miles. It's the kind of landscape car brands pay to film in. You roll out in a capable off-road vehicle with a guide who knows every hidden angle, which beats trying to find these spots solo and getting bogged down. Three hours feels snappy, but covers the essentials.

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.

Via Ferrata & Zip Line Zafarraya

Tackle a 4-hour via ferrata course near the dramatic Boquete de Zafarraya mountain pass in southern Spain. Strap into harness and helmet, then navigate steep metal rungs, suspension bridges and three exhilarating zip lines across a high-altitude route that straddles Málaga and Granada provinces. The route works for first-timers through to experienced climbers—instructors scale difficulty to suit your comfort. Views sweep across agricultural valleys and the Penibetic peaks. Finish feeling genuinely challenged, not just tourist-ticked.

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.

Candle Making Workshop in Prague – Make Your Own Soy Candle

When Em from our team tried this candle-making workshop in Prague, we found ourselves in a relaxed studio space where you pick your own jar, scent, and decorative touches to craft a soy candle to take home. It's a laid-back 90-minute session—no heavy instruction, just hands-on tinkering with supplies laid out for you. The Old Town location draws a mixed crowd of tourists and locals after a bit of shopping or sightseeing. It's the kind of thing that works best if you're not rushing, and you'll leave with an actual object you've made, which beats most souvenir stalls.

Isle of Man Northern Discovery Tour - Half Day

When Lily from our BugBitten team ran this half-day northern tour, Louise—a certified Blue Badge Guide—drove us through the Isle of Man's quieter corners in a private air-conditioned car. We traced stretches of the legendary TT motorcycle course, stopped at heritage sites (castles and museums included), and hit the highlights most visitors miss because they're off the public transport grid. Four hours is genuinely tight, but Louise built in breathing room for refreshments and souvenir hunting. The whole vibe felt less rushed whistle-stop, more tailored to our pace.

Sedona Night Hike and Stargazing

When Alex from our BugBitten team ran this Sedona night hike, it was a properly different take on the area—sunset views morphing into stargazing in one of America's designated Dark Sky Cities. You're hiking in genuine quiet desert with a naturalist guide, cooling down as the temperature drops, spotting UV-lit scorpions and picking out constellations with actual astronomy commentary. The whole thing takes about four hours, and it feels less like a tourist tick-box and more like what Sedona looks like when the day-trippers have gone home.

You're collected straight off the ship and driven through some genuinely striking terrain—moorland, coastal views, the lot—stopping at Dunrobin Castle, the Falls of Shin, Loch Fleet (seals included), the town of Dornoch for a wander, and finishing at Glenmorangie Distillery. Small groups of four to eight mean the guide actually knows who you are. Seven to eight hours total, and you're back before your ship sails.

Nashville Party Bus Mural & Photo Tour

When Em from our BugBitten team booked this Nashville party bus mural tour, we expected a boozy crawl—and that's kind of what we got, but with more photo stops than expected. You're rolling through Music City's street art hotspots on a decked-out bus for roughly two hours, bringing your own drinks and soundtrack, stopping frequently to grab shots in front of the big Instagrammable walls. It's unabashedly built for groups marking milestones—hen dos, birthdays, mate trips—rather than a serious art deep-dive. The vibe is loud, the bus is cool, and you'll definitely clock Nashville's most famous murals. Just don't expect hushed museum energy.

Full day Private Tour of the Isle of Man with experienced qualified driver guide

When Alex from our BugBitten team did this private tour, we covered the Isle of Man's most compelling sites in a single arc — from Douglas north to the famous Lady Isabella Water Wheel and prehistoric King Orrys Grave, then looped through fishing villages, castles, and the quirky Fairy Bridge on the way home. The island's a patchwork of medieval ruins, folk heritage, and windswept coastal villages that feels genuinely separate from the UK mainland. Eight hours in an air-conditioned vehicle with a knowledgeable driver beats piecing together connections on dodgy public transport, especially if you're time-poor or want proper context for each stop.

Private Transfer from Banff to Calgary or Calgary Airport

When Alex from our team booked this private transfer from Banff to Calgary or the airport, it was dead straightforward — no waiting around for other passengers, no detours, just a direct run down the mountain to the city or tarmac. The service handles groups from two to six people, with luggage space that scales accordingly. It's a no-fuss option if you're keen to skip the shared-bus shuffle and want to land in Calgary on your own schedule, and at 90 minutes it's a solid chunk of time to decompress after Banff's high-altitude hiking.

3 Hour in Wanaka Fishing Charters

When Lily from our BugBitten team headed out on Lake Wanaka for a half-day fishing charter, she found herself in one of those rare spots where the scenery does half the work for you. Set against the Southern Alps, this three-hour outing pairs trout and salmon fishing with a genuinely peaceful vibe—the kind of place where you're equally happy if the fish bite or if you just spend the time watching the landscape. The lake pulls in keen anglers and casual line-dippers alike, guided by locals who read the water properly and know which spots actually work.

Bickley Valley Wine, Cider & Gin Tour - Premium Small Group Tour

Spend a full day in the Bickley Valley wine region, just outside Perth, with no more than 10 guests on the coach. Visit two respected wineries for intimate tastings across sparkling, whites, reds and fortified varieties, then call in at a local cider house and gin distillery to sample hand-crafted spirits. A two-course lunch rounds out the experience in this rural pocket known for quality producers who rarely feature on larger tour itineraries.

Nina's Sorrento Cooking Class: Enjoy Food, Music, and Free Wine

Spend three hours in a Sorrento kitchen learning to prepare three traditional southern Italian dishes from scratch, guided by Anna and Valerio, chef-owner of the Michelin-starred Piazzetta Milù. You'll cook, eat what you've made, sample local wines and limoncello, and sing along to Italian songs. It's as much about the convivial mess of cooking together as the food itself.

Ha Giang Loop 2Days 1Night Private Tour with English Guide

A two-day motorcycle loop through Ha Giang's remote mountain terrain, staying overnight in a homestay run by local families. You'll ride past dramatic gorges and switchbacks, stop at villages where Hmong and Tay communities live, and eat home-cooked meals with your hosts. Your English-speaking rider handles navigation and introductions, leaving you free to take in the roads and the people.
