-Kids friendly- Eat, play, love Montmartre: 3H Walking Food Tour

Spend three hours in Montmartre learning how Parisians actually live through food, local stories and a treasure hunt. Your guide—a genuine city expert—takes your group (maximum 15 people) to quieter corners away from the tourist masses, sharing oddball anecdotes and neighbourhood secrets. You'll taste cheese, charcuterie, fresh bread and wine as you wander, pausing to chat and soak in the district's peculiar history. Kids and adults both earn a 'Parisian diploma' by tour's end.

Private Cu Chi Tunnels tour by Luxury Speedboat

A private speedboat journey from Ho Chi Minh City to the Cu Chi Tunnels, departing at 8:30 AM for a full eight-hour experience. You'll cruise the Saigon River, then explore the extensive underground network used during the war—crawling through narrow passages, examining hidden bunkers, and learning how fighters ingeniously trapped intruders and masked cooking fires. The tour includes a documentary screening, lunch of Vietnamese cuisine, and the chance to taste tapioca, a wartime staple. Return by speedboat to the city.

Private tour to the Path of the Gods with Gennaro

Gennaro, an Amalfi native steeped in coastal heritage, guides you along the Path of the Gods—a 4–5 hour walk threading clifftop vistas between villages. He shares three millennia of local stories, introduces you to residents, and steers you toward the most striking viewpoints and photo spots. The pace stays leisurely, letting the landscape breathe.

Discover Marble Mountains - Monkey Mountains in Da Nang City

Explore five limestone peaks carved with caves and Buddhist temples, 20km north of Hoi An. This four-hour outing takes you up Thuy Mountain, the sole peak open to visitors, where ancient shrines nestle in caverns and coastal views stretch across Da Nang. Your guide navigates the porous rock passages whilst an air-conditioned vehicle handles the drive, leaving you free to focus on the geology and spiritual heritage layered into these dramatic formations.

Hanoi Old Quarter Private Daily Street Food Experience

When Noah from our BugBitten team did this street food walk through Hanoi's Old Quarter, he got the real picture of Northern Vietnamese eating culture. The tour threads through cramped alleys and packed eateries where locals actually eat — you'll taste egg coffee, pâté baguettes, pho, bun cha, and spring rolls at spots you'd never find solo. Your guide is a local who knows the history behind what's on your plate and why these dishes matter to Hanoians. It's three hours of walking, eating, and learning, best suited to people who genuinely want to understand the city's food story rather than tick boxes.

Bali Shore Excursions : Best of Bali Tour

This eight-hour private tour hits Bali's most-visited sites in a single day: emerald rice paddies at Tegalalang, the Monkey Forest with its resident macaques, Goa Gajah's ancient temple carvings, Tegenungan Waterfall, and a working coffee plantation. You'll travel by air-conditioned car with an English-speaking driver who handles navigation so you can focus on the experience. It's efficient if you're docked in port and want to see several major attractions without arranging separate transport.

Full-day Private Pamukkale Tour from Kusadasi with Lunch

When Em from our team did this full-day private tour from Kusadasi, we headed inland 180 kilometres to Pamukkale—a UNESCO site famous for its brilliant white travertine terraces and the ancient city of Hierapolis above them. The landscape genuinely lives up to the hype: cascading mineral pools that look like something from another planet, thermal waters that have drawn visitors for millennia, and ruins that sit quietly among the calcified flows. It's a solid 8–10 hour commitment, but if you're based in Kusadasi and want to see Turkey's most photographed natural feature without self-driving, this covers the logistics cleanly.

Private Tour: Siena Walking Tour

Explore Siena's medieval heart with a knowledgeable guide over two hours. This Tuscan gem reveals Gothic architecture, narrow cobbled streets, and architectural details most visitors miss. Your guide navigates you through the town's layered history, pointing out the craftsmanship and design choices that make Siena distinct from other Italian hill towns. You'll cover main landmarks and quieter corners, learning how the city functioned in its medieval heyday.

United Kitchens Going Deep in the Borough of Global Eats

When Charlie from our team ran this Queens food tour, we wound through some of NYC's most flavour-packed neighbourhoods on foot and via local transit. The route hits Corona, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, and Flushing—each stop a different culinary tradition: Mexican family bakery, Ecuadorian street food, Argentinian bites, Colombian vendors, and local riffs on NYC fast-food staples. Five and a half hours of eating, walking, and learning how immigrant communities have genuinely shaped what New Yorkers eat. Small group, so you're not herded around like tourists.

Rome Vespa Primavera 125 cc Rental - 48 Hours Rental

Hire a Vespa Primavera 125cc for 48 hours and navigate Rome on the city's most iconic two-wheeler. You'll gain access to restricted traffic zones (ZTL), letting you reach major landmarks without the gridlock that strangles cars. The rental comes fully equipped with helmets, anti-theft security, luggage case, and overnight parking near the [Colosseum](/places/colosseum). Ideal for experienced scooter riders who want to move through the Eternal City with genuine Roman flair.

Florence City Tour & David

A 3-hour guided exploration of [Florence](/places/florence)'s Renaissance masterpieces and the Medici dynasty's influence on Western art. You'll skip Academy queues to see Michelangelo's David and hear lesser-known details about daily life in 15th-century Florence—the unconventional habits, social contradictions and cultural oddities that shaped one of history's most transformative periods. Groups up to 11 travel semi-privately; 12+ becomes fully exclusive.

The Ultimate Craft Beer Adventure in Amsterdam!

When Jake from our team ran this Amsterdam craft beer tour, we found ourselves weaving through the old town hitting five or six of the city's best microbreweries. You're tasting a curated Dutch spirit alongside award-winning craft beers—IPAs, stouts, the lot—paired with local cheese and snacks that actually make sense with what's in your glass. The whole thing takes three and a half hours and moves at a proper pace through neighbourhoods that feel lived-in, not polished for tourists. It's listed on Lonely Planet's radar, which tells you something, though the real draw is ending up in bars that locals still actually use.

Private Sunset Cruise with Full Greek Dinner

When Tom from our BugBitten team booked this private sunset cruise out of Vlihada, Santorini, he got the full postcard experience — five hours sailing past the island's dramatic coastline, volcanic hot springs, and that famous lighthouse, finishing with a Greek dinner on deck as the sun melted into the Caldera. It's the kind of tour that works because it doesn't overcomplicate itself: you're on a boat with good food, decent wine, and honest views of what makes Santorini tick. The crowd tends toward couples and groups after a slower pace, and the route covers most of the island's scenic hits without feeling rushed.

Half-Day Private Cruise with Kaiki around Mykonos

When Tom from our team booked this half-day private cruise around Mykonos, we got exactly what the brochure promised: a restored wooden boat, a local crew who actually know the island, and the freedom to steer our own itinerary. The 10-metre vessel feels authentic without sacrificing comfort—newly fitted with an eco-friendly engine, it putts you around the southern beaches at a pace that lets you soak in the Aegean rather than tick boxes. You'll anchor where you want, swim where it appeals, and taste local fare that beats the waterfront taverna markup. It's Mykonos without the velvet rope, and the four hours genuinely unwind.

Japan

Osaka Castle Haunted Walk (Night & Day)

When Tom from our team did this evening walk around Osaka Castle, we got the full blend of samurai history and local ghost folklore. You're roaming the castle grounds—one of the prefecture's supposedly most spiritually charged spots—with a guide who weaves together battlefield tales, cursed stones, and yokai stories across two hours. The castle itself is imposing and atmospheric after dark, and the park draws a quiet mix of locals and visitors curious about Japan's supernatural side. It's history told through the lens of spirits rather than a dry museum approach.

Unforgettable experience in Catamaran Ibiza and Formentera!

Sail between Ibiza and Formentera aboard the No Shoes, a 38-foot catamaran built for leisurely cruising and anchoring in isolated turquoise bays. Departing from Cala Jondal on Ibiza's southern coast, this eight-hour voyage suits families, friend groups and couples after a relaxed day afloat. The vessel's generous deck layout, shaded cockpit and full galley make lingering easy. A skipper plots your course flexibly, steering toward whichever coves appeal most, whilst onboard snorkelling gear and paddleboards invite exploration.

Ischia Island Day Tour by Boat with Lunch on Board

Spend six and a half hours exploring Ischia's secluded coves aboard a traditional wooden boat departing from Forio. The shared voyage stops at five or six swimming spots—including Citara, Punta Chiarito and the quieter Scarrupata—before anchoring for a freshly caught lunch served on deck. Afternoon sailing takes you past the dramatic Aragonese Castle, finishing in either San Montano or San Francesco Bay. Wine, water and local hospitality come with the ticket.

Distill a Bottle of Rum on mini copper stills

When Em from our team tried this Edinburgh experience, we found ourselves in a proper micro distillery crafting our own rum from scratch. You start with a welcome drink and a rundown of global rum styles, taste through a few samples to dial in your flavour profile, then pick 6–10 botanicals from their library to build your blend. While the copper stills do their thing, you sip a rum cocktail and watch the magic happen. Once distillation finishes, you bottle your creation, label it, seal it with wax, and take home a 500ml bottle that you actually made. The whole thing runs about three hours and feels genuinely hands-on rather than a quick gimmick.

Meteora Trails Electric Mountain Bike Tour

When Em from our team rode the Meteora trails on an e-MTB, we found ourselves pedalling through quiet oak forest just beyond the tourist hustle. The Meteora region in Greece is famous for its otherworldly rock pillars and monasteries, but this tour strips away the crowds and puts you on well-groomed single track instead. You'll cover 2–3 hours of riding with electric assistance doing the heavy lifting, leaving you free to soak in the forest canopy and nail the descents. It's a proper adrenaline hit without the slog of a full-fat mountain bike.

Private Bike Tour in Paraty

When Tom from our BugBitten team pedalled through Paraty on this private bike tour, we found a solid way to see the colonial town's main landmarks without getting lost in the cobbled lanes. Five hours on two wheels takes you to Morro do Forte for the hilltop views, down into the Historic Center where the pastel buildings crowd tight together, and out to the Fisherman's Wharf where the boats bob. It's a compact town, so the route stays manageable—mostly flat, mostly on streets you'd walk anyway, but the bike lets you cover ground and catch your breath between stops.

Cooking Class and Prestigious Wine Tasting

Learn to hand-roll fettuccine and gnocchi, then master tiramisu in a century-old Roman trattoria run by the same family for generations. A three-hour class with two Italian wines paired throughout, led by chefs who've spent decades perfecting their craft. You'll cook, taste, and leave with skills that actually stick—plus take home an apron and hat as reminders of the afternoon.

Half Day Hiking and Climbing Adventure at Sugarloaf Mountain

When Mia from our BugBitten team tackled Sugarloaf Mountain's half-day hiking and climbing route, she found herself on Rio's most iconic rock face with a crew that knows these granite slopes inside out. The outfit's been running climbs here for over a decade, and it shows — they keep groups tight and gear properly certified so you can actually focus on the climb rather than worry. Four hours gets you up and back with time to breathe in the views, and it's pitched at people who can handle genuine physical graft and aren't strangers to a steep trail.

Exclusive Private Colonial Williamsburg Walking Tour by a Local

When Ben from our team did this private walking tour of Colonial Williamsburg, we got a properly local read on the place. You start at The Williamsburg Inn and work through the historic district for two hours, hitting the Capitol, Governor's Palace, and the trades and shops tucked between them—plus the garden spots and quirky corners a casual visitor might miss. The guide is licensed and knows their history inside out. It's a solid intro to how the town felt in the 1700s, who lived there, and why it mattered. Group's just you and yours.

2hr Broome Trike Discovery Tour

Explore Broome's coastal character on a three-wheeled trike over two hours. This accredited operator has spent 25 years showing visitors the town's highlights—from colonial architecture to pristine beaches—aboard custom-built machines that let you feel the sea breeze without climbing into a car. You'll cover ground faster than walking but slow enough to actually notice what makes this remote corner of Western Australia worth the journey.

Daytime Sailing Cruise on Lake Champlain

When Em from our BugBitten team sailed Lake Champlain aboard the Friend Ship, a classic wooden sloop, it felt like stepping into maritime history without the stuffiness. You're one of ten guests max, which means genuine crew banter and no cattle-pen vibes. The two-hour float takes you past Vermont's mountains whilst the boat's timber creaks and the water laps — proper peaceful. The catch: you're BYOB and BYO-snacks entirely, so a decent picnic basket is essential. If you're after low-key water time with local colour, this delivers.

Private Grand Canyon Sunset Tour

When Lily from our BugBitten team booked this private Grand Canyon sunset tour, we got a driver and guide to ourselves for the full day—just our group, no coach crowds. Starting from either Sedona or Flagstaff, you're driven straight to the park's best vantage points, timed to catch the light show at dusk. Your guide walks you through the geology, wildlife, flora, and local stories while you're actually standing there looking at the layered rock face. Dinner's booked at the historic El Tovar Lodge (you pay separately), and the whole thing runs about 9–10 hours from Sedona. It's not a leisurely potter—this is a proper day out that assumes you're reasonably fit.

Private Tour to Trancoso

When Tom from our BugBitten team ran this private tour around Trancoso, it was a refreshing departure from the standard agency route. You're whisked around in an air-conditioned vehicle to a handful of lesser-known beaches that most tour operators skip — places where the sand stays quiet and the water runs clear. It's a solid 6–9 hour jaunt depending on where your driver takes you and how long you linger. The vibe here is small-town Brazilian coastal charm without the cruise-ship crowds.

Private Great Wall Day Hiking from Jiankou to Mutianyu Section

When Lily from our team tackled this hike, we started at the raw, crumbling Jiankou section of the Great Wall and pushed through five hours of uneven terrain to reach the tidied-up Mutianyu side. The contrast is stark — you're walking the same ancient wall, but one half looks like a ruin and the other's been lovingly restored. The area shifts from quiet and overgrown to well-trodden and tourist-filled by day's end. Both sections deserve the walk, and the cable car or toboggan descent saves your knees on the way down.

Discover Langhe wines with private tour and expert sommelier

Spend four to six hours exploring two renowned wineries across Barolo and Barbaresco with a sommelier guide boasting over a decade's regional knowledge. You'll meet winemakers, taste their productions, and break for lunch at a traditional osteria sampling regional dishes (at your own cost). Private transport covers collection from Canelli, Neive, and Alba, with chilled water and cellar access included throughout.

You're looking at a 45-minute private car journey from central Athens to the airport with a trained driver, air con that actually works, and cold water on tap. The fleet runs modern vehicles with decent safety kit. It's a no-fuss option if you want to skip the bus queues and arrive without the stress of navigating Greek taxi metres.

Istanbul Old Town Tour: Classics, Highlights & Hidden Gems

When Em from our team tackled Istanbul's Old Town, she found a smart antidote to the city's overwhelming chaos. This seven-to-eight-hour guided route threads through the must-sees—Blue Mosque, Topkapi, the rest—but pivots toward the quieter laneways and local hangouts that actually tell you how Istanbul works today. The Old Town itself is dense, layered, genuinely Byzantine in feel, and packed with tourists and locals alike. A structured walk with someone who knows the shortcuts and the current pulse of the place saves hours of backtracking and gets you talking to guides who aren't reading from a script written in 2005.

Original Redneck Riviera. #1 Way for FUN on Crab Island Destin FL

When Noah from our team hired the Original Redneck Riviera for Crab Island, we got a properly stocked pontoon that handles the party-boat chaos without pretence. It's six hours of anchored madness in shallow turquoise water off Destin, Florida—volleyball, paddle boards, snorkelling, axes to throw, and a speaker for karaoke. The boat fits six people max and draws a mix of groups: bucks nights, families, mate groups after a few drinks. The deck setup means you're either playing games, floating, or working on your tan between swims.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Adventure

When Charlie from our team ran this four-hour loop through Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, it wasn't the usual tourist tick-box. Charlie's a Native Hawaiian, so the stops—Kīlauea's grounds, a lava tube crawl—aren't just geological novelties; they're woven with real island history and cultural context. The park sits at 4,000 feet on Hawaiʻi Island's east side, where the landscape shifts from lush to stark volcanic grey. You'll walk through ancient lava fields, hear stories tied to place, and leave with a proper sense of what's beneath your feet rather than just photos.

You're driven around in a comfy hybrid vehicle hitting the postcard-perfect angles of Oia, then peeling off to quieter streets in Messaria — Alex's home turf — where life actually happens. The tour wraps at a family-run beachside restaurant at Monolithos where you grab fresh local food while the Aegean does its thing nearby. It's a relaxed 4 hours 15 minutes, pitched at people who'd rather soak in the real island than tick off a checklist.
