The Ultimate New York City Street Food Tour

🍜 Food & Cooking

United States

The Ultimate New York City Street Food Tour

When Sarah from our team ran this 2.5-hour street food tour, she got to know a neighbourhood that's genuinely one of the world's most culturally layered — without leaving a single suburb. Your guide is a local who actually grew up here, which shows: they steer you toward the real spots, not the Instagram ones. The food moves from Asian vendors to South American stalls, covering serious ground on your palate while staying put geographically. It's a short subway hop from Midtown, but feels a world away. Everything you eat is covered in the price, and you'll eat properly.

Private Lake Como Yacht Tour Experience on Colombo Boat

When Lily from our BugBitten team booked the Colombo private yacht tour on Lake Como, we got exactly what we were after: eight hours on the water with zero crowds, a skipper who knew the lake inside out, and the freedom to steer the day ourselves. Lake Como feels like a postcard come to life — steep wooded mountains, pastel villages clinging to the shore, and grand villas dotting the waterfront. You'll be the only ones on the boat, which means the pace, stops, and route bend to what you actually want to do. It's the kind of tour that works for a special occasion or just because you want the lake without the tour-group noise.

Etna Alba: Exciting excursion with Typical Sicilian Breakfast (Private Tour)

A 5-hour private tour that ascends Mount Etna to catch sunrise from the Sartorius crater ridges, then descends through lava tunnels and 1950s eruption fields toward Valle del Bove. You'll explore the Grotta della Neve ice cave, traverse blackened terrain at Monte Fontane, and return to base for traditional Sicilian granita and brioche. A 4WD vehicle handles the terrain; the pace suits all fitness levels.

Private Departure Transfer Service from Akumal to Cancun Airport

When Lily from our BugBitten team booked this private transfer from Akumal to Cancun Airport, she got a straightforward run in a Mercedes V250 — air-con, WiFi, and a few drinks thrown in. It's a two-hour drive through flat Quintana Roo landscape, aimed at travellers who'd rather skip the shuttle-bus shuffle and want a bit of comfort heading to the airport. The vehicle's clean, the seats are leather, and you're not sharing with randoms. Useful if you've got luggage, kids, or just value a quiet ride out.

Authentic Olive Oil and Cultural Experience in Crete

When Em from our team ran this tour in Crete, it felt like a proper insider's afternoon rather than a box-ticking exercise. You'll spend 5–7 hours moving between an olive grove, a working mill, and a family taverna, learning how locals actually grow, press, and cook with their oil. The vibe is relaxed — sipping raki under the trees, chatting with the mill operator, then joining locals for lunch using the oil you've just tasted. It's the kind of experience that works because it's genuinely about the place and its people, not a performance for tourists.

Vietnam

Ninh Binh 2 Day 1 Night Trip Small Group Tour With 4 star Hotel

Explore Ninh Binh's karst landscape and royal heritage over two days with a small group capped at eight travellers. Based from a four-star hotel in this northern Vietnamese region, you'll cycle through valleys dotted with limestone peaks, visit sites tied to emperors and resistance fighters, and eat well throughout. A professional English-speaking guide leads the way from Hanoi, handling transport and logistics so you focus on the scenery and stories.

Miami Art Deco Gems & Jewels Small Group & Exclusive Access Tour

When Noah from our BugBitten team did this walk through Miami Beach's Art Deco Historic District, it felt like stepping into the city's flashy 1920s heyday without the tourist crush. The 2.5-hour small-group tour threads through the neighbourhood's most striking buildings—the kind with pastel facades, geometric tilework, and stories that span from swamp to drug-era infamy. You get proper access inside landmark hotels and heritage structures that larger groups simply can't touch, plus your guide has actual tourism credentials. It's history served with insider intel on the spots that ended up in Scarface and Miami Vice, and the neighbourhood itself buzzes with art galleries, vintage shops, and enough period charm to make the walk feel like set dressing.

Elf and Home Alone 2 Movie Locations Tour in Central Park

★ 5.0 (57)

🚌 Day Trips & Sightseeing

United States

Elf and Home Alone 2 Movie Locations Tour in Central Park

When Lily from our team booked this pedicab tour through Central Park, we were chasing down the filming spots from Home Alone 2 and Elf—two films that basically define New York at Christmas. It's a one-hour guided spin through the park's most photogenic corners: bridges, landmarks, and those exact patches where Kevin McCallister and Buddy the Elf actually stood. Your guide rolls up in full festive costume, the pedicab's decked out in tinsel and lights, and Christmas carols are playing. It's unapologetically cheesy, which is entirely the point. The crowds here lean toward film nerds, families hunting for that perfect holiday photo, and tourists who treat this like a pilgrimage.

Dallas Margs, Wine & Foodie Experience

When Ben from our team did this Grapevine walking tour, we spent three hours threading through Main Street hitting local food and wine spots. The whole experience is built around proper tastings at restaurants and specialty shops tucked into the historic precinct — think pours, plates, and a bit of storytelling about the area in between. It's the kind of slow-paced, food-focused ramble that works best if you're hungry, curious about what's on the glass, and happy to chat with locals who actually know their patch.

Map Reading and Navigation Course in Peak District

When Lily from our team did this map reading and navigation course in the Peak District, she got a proper grounding in the skills you actually need to walk confidently without relying on your phone. It's billed as 'Right Way in a Day' — a full day out that covers map and compass basics in the sort of landscape where those skills matter. You're out on the hills with a professional guide, mixing practical learning with fresh air, and it's the kind of thing that appeals to walkers wanting to upskill, people curious about navigation, or anyone after a day with real purpose. Not a complete mastery course, but a solid introduction.

Tarragona Hidden Gems Private Tour

Uncover Roman Tarragona's buried past with a knowledgeable archaeologist guide who reveals how the ancient city lies beneath the medieval Old Town. Navigate narrow streets around the Cathedral, learning local customs including the region's famed human tower tradition, before finishing at the Mediterranean Balcony—a clifftop viewpoint with sweeping vistas across the port, coastline and sea. Roman Circus entrance included. Two hours.

Matanuska Glacier Hiking Adventure from Anchorage

When Lily from our team tackled the Matanuska Glacier hike, she found herself on a proper Alaskan adventure that balances comfort with genuine glacier exploration. A small group of up to 10 heads out from Anchorage in a Mercedes Sprinter, cruising past the Matanuska River with photo stops and a coffee break en route. Once you're on the glacier itself, a local guide walks you through canyons, peaks, valleys and ice caves—it's a beginner-to-intermediate hike, so most fitness levels can manage it. The whole outing runs 7–8 hours, including drive time, lunch and restroom stops.

4 hour Fishing Charter with a Tampa Native

United States

4 hour Fishing Charter with a Tampa Native

When Lily from our BugBitten team booked this 4-hour charter, we got a proper behind-the-scenes look at Tampa Bay with Captain Jason, a local who's fished these waters his entire life. You're out on the water hitting some of the bay's best-kept spots — islands, creeks, sandbars tucked inside what's essentially Florida's largest estuary. The captain's got a Coast Guard ticket and a genuine obsession with putting people onto fish, which makes the difference between a scenic boat ride and actually feeling like you've learned something about how this ecosystem works. It's a straight-up fishing trip, not a sightseeing cruise, so expect tackle talk and strategy.

Hoi An bicycle tour to beautiful countryside

Pedal through Hoi An's rural landscape to Tra Que village, where you'll work alongside farmers tending herb and vegetable gardens. Spend three hours cycling quiet country lanes, pitching in with weeding and transplanting, spotting water buffalo, ducks, and egrets along irrigation channels. You'll finish with brunch and leave with dirt under your fingernails and a clearer sense of how the region feeds itself.

Hands On Cocktail Class Experience in West Palm Beach

When Alex from our team booked this West Palm Beach cocktail class, we found ourselves in a compact bar setup where a French bartender walks you through mixing three proper cocktails over 90 minutes. You're not watching from the sidelines—you're actually pouring, shaking, and building drinks with premium spirits and handcrafted syrups. The vibe is casual and social, with a cheese and charcuterie spread to keep you fuelled between rounds. It's the kind of thing groups of friends do before heading out, or solo travellers looking to pick up some actual mixology skills rather than just sipping cocktails.

2 Day 1 Night Trek

Two-day trek through Vietnam's rural highlands with a local guide who knows the region's tribal communities, geography and history intimately. You'll walk quiet trails away from main tourist paths, then spend the night in a homestay or family house where you can sit by the fire and talk with your hosts. All transport, meals and accommodation are included. Your fees support local families directly in an area where most people live below the poverty line.

Sailing with Wine Tasting in Buenos Aires

When Em from our team set sail on the Río de la Plata, we found ourselves on one of the world's widest rivers with a knowledgeable crew steering the boat while a sommelier walked us through four Argentine wines—the kind that've earned serious international respect. Buenos Aires' waterfront skyline receded as we anchored mid-river, the light hitting the water just right, and worked through local cheese, cured meats, and small plates designed to complement each pour. Four hours on the water, sunset included, feels like the kind of thing locals actually do rather than a tourist checkbox.

5-day experience to Vale do Pati and Chapada Diamantina

When Ben from our team tackled this 5-day trek through Vale do Pati in Chapada Diamantina, he crossed one of Brazil's most dramatic highland regions on foot—starting in Vila do Guiné and finishing in Andaraí. This is proper backcountry trekking, not a casual stroll. You'll see the Pati valley from above and below, sleep in basic communal guesthouses, and eat what the guides prepare. It's designed for people who genuinely like walking hard through nature, with support and logistics handled by an experienced outfit.

Private Boat Day on Capri from Sorrento

Spend seven hours on your own chartered boat exploring Capri's dramatic coastline from Sorrento. You'll shape the itinerary—anchor for snorkelling in translucent coves, pull ashore to wander the island's cliff-top villages, or drift between limestone stacks with a cold drink in hand. The boat crew handles navigation and refreshments whilst you decide the pace.

Treasures Of Ancient Turkey Tour 14 Days Small Group

When Charlie from our team ran this 14-day circuit through Turkey, we hit nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites across two continents — a proper deep-dive into civilisations that shaped human history. You're moving through ancient temples, Greek ruins, Ottoman architecture, and the mind-bending Göbekli Tepe in the southeast, where 12,000-year-old religious structures sit largely untouched. It's a small-group tour (max 12 people), so you're not shuffling through crowds, and domestic flights plus hotel transfers mean less logistical hassle. The pace is steady but genuinely packed — this isn't a leisurely meander.

Royal National Park Private Tour

A private nine-hour exploration of Royal National Park south of Sydney, where you'll navigate coastal cliffs, hidden beaches, and subtropical pockets on foot. Your guide drives and walks with you, adjusting pace and route to suit your group's appetite—whether that's tackling Eagle Rock's ridge or keeping things gentler. Along the way you'll encounter native wildlife, geological formations, and Bald Hill's sweeping ocean views. Lunch is included, as are professional photographs.

Pompeii PRIVATE TOUR With Locals: Ticket & Guide Included

Explore Pompeii's preserved Roman streets with a knowledgeable local who skips the queues and standard tourist script. This two-hour private tour covers the Forum and Theatre whilst you ask questions freely, unencumbered by audio guides or large groups. Your guide earns a fair fee, the experience is carbon-neutral, and small group sizes help protect the site from over-tourism.

Horseback Ride with Wine Tasting+Light Lunch at a Historic Estate

Ride through Chianti's rolling countryside on horseback, then settle into a historic winery for wine tasting and Tuscan lunch. Based near [Florence](/places/florence), this 5.5-hour outing needs no prior riding experience—beginners get a quick orientation before heading out on country trails. You'll spend an hour in the saddle, followed by guided tastings and a light meal surrounded by vineyard views. Transfers and helmet included.

VIP Tour: Cu Chi Tunnels Half Day | Option: Real Shooting Guns

This six-hour excursion explores the Cu Chi Tunnels, the underground network that shaped Vietnam's war history. Walk through the warren of passages, learn how Viet Cong soldiers survived below ground, and discover ingenious survival tactics from shelter-building to foraging. Try your hand at traditional skills: crafting sandals from repurposed tyres, preparing rice paper by hand, and cooking meals using smoke-free methods. Those aged 18+ can test their aim at the firing range. Hotel pickup from District 1 is included, along with water and morning refreshments.

Cigar Factory Tour in Little Havana, Miami

When Em from our BugBitten team rolled through Casa Habano in Little Havana, Miami, we got a proper education in how cigars actually happen—from seed to smoke. The one-hour tour walks you through tobacco cultivation, curing, fermentation, and ageing, then spins out the history of Florida's golden age as the cigar-making heartland. It's pitched at both smokers and non-smokers who reckon there's craft worth understanding. Little Havana itself buzzes with Cuban culture, street art, and old-school charm; the factory sits right in the thick of it. You'll finish with Cuban coffee and pastries.

Private Transfer from Positano to Naples

Door-to-door private car service whisking you from Positano's clifftop charm down to Naples in 1–2 hours. Travel in a modern Mercedes with a seasoned driver who knows the winding Amalfi roads.

A straightforward transfer that gives you breathing room after the Costiera.

Ideal for small groups wanting flexibility without the crowds of larger tours.

Small Group Tour in South Jeju Healing Island w/Mt. Halla & Falls

When Tom from our team ran this South Jeju tour, we tackled Hallasan via the shorter Eoseungsaengak trail, then wound through the island's southern coast hitting Jusangjeolli's hexagonal cliffs, Oedolgae sea stack, and Cheonjiyeon Falls over nine hours. It's pitched as a healing ramble rather than a tick-the-box sprint — small groups (max 15), a local guide driving the minivan, hotel pickups from downtown. The landscape is genuinely striking: basalt formations, forest canopy, tea plantations in the distance. Expect a mixed crowd of couples, solo travellers, and families.

Private Guided Tour of the British Museum

When Sarah from our team booked this private tour, she got the British Museum's greatest hits without the queue crush. A licensed Blue Badge Guide with a classical history degree walks up to six people through the highlights — think Rosetta Stone, Egyptian mummies, Parthenon marbles, Roman glass, and Pompeii frescoes — unpacking the real stories behind them rather than the polished myths. It's a two-and-a-half-hour sprint through one of the world's most overwhelming collections, and you skip the line entirely. Families, solo travellers, students, couples all welcome.

Hidden Harbor E Bike Tour of Boothbay Harbor

When Mia from our BugBitten team ran this e-bike tour, we pedalled through the quieter corners of Boothbay Harbour, Maine—a slice of New England coastline where old money quietly meets genuine maritime history. The 2.5-hour ride traces Spruce Point's byways, passing heritage lodges and coastal views that anchor you to why people settled here in the first place. You're not racing; you're threading through a landscape that's hosted everyone from the Kennedys to Hemingway, with a guide who knows the stories that don't make it into the textbooks. E-bikes mean the hills don't wreck you, and the pace lets you actually absorb the place.

From Sapa: 2-Day Trek Through Authentic Villages in North - Sapa

Two-day trek from Sapa into the highlands of northern Vietnam, staying with a local family and walking through villages where rice terraces cascade down mountainsides. You'll eat home-cooked meals with your hosts, sleep in their house, and see how communities have farmed these slopes for generations. The walking is steady and the terrain uneven, so come prepared for a proper hill hike rather than a casual stroll.

Transfer from Trieste to Venice Airport

Private transfer whisking you from Trieste to Venice Airport in roughly two hours. You'll travel in a dedicated air-conditioned vehicle, with the trip departing only when your booking is confirmed—no shared vans unless other passengers happen to be on the same flight or within half an hour of your departure window.

The Met Museum & Central Park Guided Tour Semi-Private 8ppl Max

When Alex from our team ran this combo tour, we kicked off at the Met—one of the world's heavyweight art museums—then pivoted to Central Park's sprawling paths and green space. The 5.5-hour semi-private setup (8 people max) meant we didn't get crushed by crowds, and having a professional guide made the sheer scale of both places manageable. It's a solid back-to-back hit if you want to tick off two of New York's biggest draws without the usual tourist scrum, though it's paced and requires decent fitness.

From Phi Phi: PADI Open Water Course *eLearning (2+ days)

Earn your PADI Open Water certification over two days based in Phi Phi, Thailand. Complete the theoretical component via official eLearning, then undertake four open-water dives around the island's coral gardens with experienced instructors.

Special Photoshoot in Istanbul

When Em from our BugBitten team booked this Istanbul photoshoot, we expected a quick snap-and-go. Instead, we got a guided walk hitting Istiklal Street's red tram, Galata Tower, and the bridge—with a photographer trailing us the whole time, composing shots while we just existed in the city. It's one hour on foot through the heart of Istanbul's European side, mixing famous corners with quieter pockets, and you walk away with 50 edited photos. The vibe suits couples after keepsakes, solos wanting proof they were here, and anyone keen to see the city through a photographer's eye rather than a selfie stick.
