Tours in United States

Los Angeles Arts District Bike Tour

When Noah from our BugBitten team pedalled through L.A.'s Arts District, it became clear why this neighbourhood flies under the radar for most visitors. A 2.5-hour guided ride cuts through the grit and transformation of this corner—past Little Tokyo, through galleries, street art, breweries, and architecture that's still got industrial bones but increasingly polished edges. You'll clock warehouse conversions, spotted film crews, spot murals that anchor the whole vibe, and get the actual history from someone who knows the place. It's compact enough to cover real ground on a bike, but slow enough to actually take it in.

Outdoor Range - Modern Warfare Package

When Sarah from our team hit this outdoor range in Arizona, she found a straightforward shooting experience set against desert views. The Modern Warfare package gets you behind a few firearms with a safety officer on hand, ammunition supplied, and structured instruction included. It's a one-hour session that appeals to curious first-timers and folks after a bit of target practice in a controlled setup. The range sits in wide-open country, and the crew keeps things methodical—safety-first briefing, then firing. Blokes and blokes-ettes aged 18+ with valid ID can book; minors need a parent tagging along.

PRIVATE Pearl Harbor: Arizona Memorial, Missouri Ship & City Tour

When Noah from our team ran this private Pearl Harbor tour, we got the full historical sweep without the queue stress. The five-hour experience covers the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center (with museum and documentary), the USS Missouri Battleship, and a city tour—all with admission sorted. Fair warning: boat access to the USS Arizona Memorial is paused until early 2026 for preservation work, so you're exploring the visitor precinct and ship rather than getting out on the water. It's a solid intro to Oahu's most significant WWII site, and the private setup means you move at your own pace.

5 hoursfrom AUD $1137

🏔 Adventure & Sports

Winter Snowshoeing Adventure

When Ben from our team laced up snowshoes at Glen Alps, just east of Anchorage, we got a proper taste of winter hiking without needing years of experience. The 3-hour loop takes you through alpine spruce forest with views across the Anchorage Bowl and Cook Inlet — the kind of landscape that makes you understand why people move to Alaska. It's accessible for couples, solo travellers, and families with older kids, though the terrain does climb steeply in patches. Guides know the area well and keep an eye out for moose, lynx, and hares.

3 Hour NYC Photography Workshop

When Lily from our team did this 3-hour workshop, she found herself learning proper composition and camera technique from a working photographer while tramping through Manhattan's most photogenic pockets. The tour uses the city itself as the classroom—you're moving between spots, getting hands-on feedback on your shots, and picking up practical tips that stick. It's a solid half-day for photographers keen to improve their eye rather than just snap the usual landmarks. The vibe is small-group learning, not a sightseeing conveyor belt.

3 hoursfrom AUD $177

Private San Francisco Open-Air Jeep Tour (3 Hours, Max 6)

1h 30m – 2 hoursfrom AUD $99

Private San Francisco Open-Air Jeep Tour (3 Hours, Max 6)

When Noah from our BugBitten team booked this private Jeep tour, we got a genuine feel for San Francisco's spread-out highlights without the tour-bus crowds. Three hours cruising an open-air convertible hits the essentials: Golden Gate Bridge photo stop, a run down Lombard Street (traffic permitting), time in Golden Gate Park or Ocean Beach, plus your choice of add-ons like the Mission District murals or Coit Tower's bay views. It's paced to your group's rhythm, which beats the standard cattle-car approach. You're paying per Jeep (fits up to 6, though four adults and two kids works best), and it suits anyone who wants flexibility without the logistics of driving themselves.

4 Hour Private Charter

When Sarah from our BugBitten team booked this private charter on Sarasota Bay, we got a straightforward four-hour boat experience on a comfortable Sylvan Tritoon that fits up to six people. The boat's built for small groups, which means you're not packed in with strangers—it's genuinely private. The waters here are clear and calm most days, and you'll spot dolphins, manatees, and wading birds without too much fuss. It's a relaxed float rather than an adrenaline run, suitable for families with young kids, older crew, or anyone who just wants to spend an afternoon on the water without the chaos of a big tour boat.

Jacksonville Private Boat Tour Daytime or Sunset, up to 6 people

When Jake from our team booked this private boat tour on the St Johns River, we grabbed the 2-hour daytime slot with a small crew. It's a personalised affair—max 6 people means no tourist cattle-market vibe, and the captain works with you beforehand to nail down what you want to see: sandbars, a float in a tube, wildlife spotting, or whatever takes your fancy. Jacksonville's waterways are quieter than you'd expect for a city, with mangrove-lined stretches and decent bird life. The whole thing hinges on good weather and a captain willing to call it if conditions turn dodgy.

Experience Incredible Marine Wildlife Tour

When Alex from our BugBitten team ran this marine wildlife tour out of Sitka Sound, it was clear the captain and crew aren't just tour operators—they're locals who actually live here year-round. Over two and a half hours, you're working the waters spotting humpback whales, sea lions, sea otters, harbour seals, bald eagles, puffins, and if you're lucky in late summer or early fall, bears onshore. The captain's background in commercial fishing adds genuine texture to the narration about Southeast Alaska's working landscape, not just the postcard version. The boat's got heated cabin space, outdoor decks, binoculars, and a restroom—proper setup for Alaska weather and comfort.

Delicious Donuts of Harvard Square: A Historical Walking Tour

When Tom from our BugBitten team ran this Harvard Square walking tour, it turned out to be part pastry crawl, part campus history lesson. You'll start at the Charles Hotel, then hop between three donut spots — Union Square Donuts (good enough to feature on multiple Boston tours), a seasonal-flavour shop inside Harvard's campus centre, and Saloniki for Greek loukoumades (basically fried dough done the Mediterranean way). The route weaves through Harvard Square and the university grounds themselves, with snippets of local and institutional history woven between bites. The whole thing runs 90 minutes to two hours and reads as a relaxed morning out rather than a lecture.

New York 9/11 Memorial With a Personal Story

🛕 Culture & History

4 hours – 8 hoursfrom AUD $848

New York 9/11 Memorial With a Personal Story

When Tom from our BugBitten team did this walk around the 9/11 Memorial, what struck us wasn't the spectacle—it was the opposite. Tom, who has a personal connection to that day, leads groups of no more than 12 through the site with wireless earpieces, so you hear his story without disrupting others who are there to sit quietly with their own grief. It's a 90-minute outdoor walk focused on what actually happened, how New York rebuilt, and what the place means now. No theatre. No sensationalism. Just honest reflection in a landscape designed for it.

Crystal River Inshore Fishing Charter

When Sarah from our team booked a Crystal River inshore charter, she got a proper taste of Florida's coastal fishing without the usual tourist mill. The waterways here cut through mangrove-lined tributaries and shallow bays—it's genuinely quieter than the usual spots, and the ecosystem supports everything from redfish to snapper depending on the season. The boat's small enough to slip into backcountry creeks, and even when the wind picks up, your guide knows where to find protection. It's 4–8 hours depending on what you book, and you leave with gear, licence, and knowhow in hand.

Austin's Best Speakeasies 3-Hour Guided Tour

🍹 Nightlife

3 hours – 3h 10mfrom AUD $134

Austin's Best Speakeasies 3-Hour Guided Tour

When Lily from our BugBitten team ran this Austin speakeasy tour, she hit three bars with genuine character—each one a different vibe. You start at sunset at a tiki lounge masquerading as a travel agency, then duck into a speakeasy hidden inside a Mexican restaurant, before finishing in an exclusive invitation-only bar tucked behind the historic Driskill Hotel downtown. The whole thing takes three hours and moves by private vehicle between stops, so you're not trudging across the city on foot. It's a solid introduction to Austin's cocktail underworld, with enough local history woven in to make it feel like more than just a drinking tour.

Inside the Hive: Kauai Honey and Bee Tour

When Mia from our team suited up at this Kauai honey farm, we got the proper tour—not the drive-by kind. Over two hours, the master beekeepers walked us through Hawaiian beekeeping history, then the hands-on bit: holding a frame from an active hive, extracting honey straight from the comb, and tasting the farm's own batch alongside seasonal fruit pairings. It's a working farm experience on a quiet side of the island, small groups, full protective gear included. Definitely not a passive sit-down tasting.

Food Tour of Local Orlando's Ivanhoe Village

When Alex from our team ran the Ivanhoe Village food tour, we found it less about ticking boxes and more about actually getting to know Orlando through the people and plates that shape the neighbourhood. It's a three-hour ramble through a historic Main Street district—five restaurant stops, each with a tasting that builds into a proper meal. The vibe is deliberately low-key; small groups, scenic lake glimpses, street murals, and the kind of local storytelling that makes a place click. Choose brunch (with a drink included) or afternoon timing to suit your day.

Fort Lauderdale Historic District Food Tour Experience

🍜 Food & Cooking

6 hours – 7 hoursfrom AUD $160

Fort Lauderdale Historic District Food Tour Experience

When Em from our team ran this three-hour food tour through Fort Lauderdale's Historic District, we found ourselves hopping between four thoughtfully chosen spots in what locals call Old Town. The area pulses with character—a mix of restored heritage buildings, independent restaurants, and the kind of vibe that makes you feel like you've discovered something beyond the usual tourist strip. The guide weaves the city's evolution into each tasting, and the dish progression is deliberate: you're not just eating, you're moving through a narrative. It's compact enough to do in an afternoon, substantial enough to feel like you've actually eaten.

Explore Bonneville Salt Flats Journey to the Edge of the World

When Charlie from our BugBitten team ran this tour, we found ourselves in one of North America's strangest landscapes — the Bonneville Salt Flats, a blindingly white expanse where the horizon dissolves into sky. This 6–7 hour loop covers the legendary Bonneville Speedway (where land-speed records still get chased), the surreal 85-foot Tree of Utah poking out of the desert, the Blue Canal that historically protected Salt Lake City from floods, and finishes at Great Salt Lake State Park where the water mirrors the Wasatch Mountains. You're ferried around in a Mercedes Sprinter with a guide who knows the area's odd history, and hotel pickups are included — which saves faffing about on your own.

🐠 Water Activities

Private 2-Hour Day Sailing Experience

When Charlie from our team tried Sailing Orlando's private day sail, we found ourselves on a proper 25-foot sloop in the middle of Central Florida—a genuinely unusual spot for it. You get two hours on the water with an experienced skipper who actually teaches you how to sail rather than just point at scenery. It's intimate (max 4 adults), hands-on, and the kind of thing that makes you understand why people get obsessed with sailing. The boat's got a cabin below, water's included, and you'll leave knowing you've actually done something, not just watched.

2 hoursfrom AUD $126

Central Park Landmarks & Marvels Walking Tour

4 hours – 5 hoursfrom AUD $353

Central Park Landmarks & Marvels Walking Tour

When Mia from our BugBitten team walked this Central Park tour, she found it a solid 2-hour-15-minute primer on the park's actual highlights rather than the postcard versions. You'll hit the obvious spots—Bethesda Terrace, Bow Bridge, Belvedere Castle, Strawberry Fields, Wollman Rink—but the guide threads together the smaller details and local history that make the walk feel less like box-ticking. It's the kind of tour that works whether you're a first-time visitor wanting the lay of the land or someone living nearby who's walked past these landmarks a hundred times without knowing their stories.

E-Bike Tours in Yellowstone National Park

When Jake from our team tackled this e-bike route around Bunsen Peak, we found ourselves pedalling through genuine backcountry without the crowds of the main park loop. The e-assist helps on climbs, but don't mistake that for easy — this is a proper workout over rough, uneven ground with some sharp descents that demand real bike handling. You're after wildlife spotting and solitude in Yellowstone's less-visited terrain, and that's what you get over 4–5 hours. The landscape shifts constantly: lodgepole forest, open meadows, geothermal features off to the side. It's not a casual roll.

3 hours – 4 hoursfrom AUD $388

Private Custom Tours in Sedona

When Jake from our team booked a private custom tour in Sedona, we got a tailored afternoon built around what we actually wanted to see. The outfit's been running these personalised trips for over two decades, and it shows — they've built strong relationships with local hotels and concierges who know their stuff. You're looking at 3–4 hours exploring Sedona's rust-red ridges and canyon views, with a proper gourmet picnic lunch thrown in at a scenic stop. It's the kind of tour that skips the coach-full-of-tourists vibe entirely.

Two Hour Lighthouse Bicycle Tour from South Portland-Mellow

Two Hour Lighthouse Bicycle Tour from South Portland-Mellow

When Noah from our team pedalled this South Portland route, we traced a quiet coastal path to two working lighthouses in two hours flat. The Greenbelt Pathway hugs the shore between Portland Breakwater Light—locals call it Bug Light—and Spring Point Ledge Light, which sits near the old Fort Preble grounds. It's a mellow loop that hits the highlights without the huff, departing at 9 am or 3 pm from the bike shop. The area's got that New England coastal charm: a mix of locals, families, and the odd tourist who actually knows where they're going.

Thousand Islands Mangrove Tunnel Sunset Kayak Tour with Cocoa Kayaking!

When Jake from our team paddled this Thousand Islands route with Cocoa Kayaking, we found a genuinely solid way to see Florida's quieter side. You're in a kayak for two and a half hours, weaving through mangrove tunnels where the light filters through dense green overhead, watching for dolphins and herons as the sun drops. The Thousand Islands sit north of Tampa—it's a peaceful pocket of the Gulf Coast where you'll mostly see other kayakers and wildlife rather than crowds. Sunset's the main event here, and the timing catches it nicely.

Nashville Songwriter Experience: Write your own Song

When Sarah from our BugBitten team sat down for this Nashville songwriting session, she walked in with zero expectations and left with an actual song. The three-hour workshop strips away the myth that you need perfect pitch or stage presence to write something real — you just need curiosity and willingness to be a bit vulnerable. The instructor guides you through the creative process in a relaxed Nashville setting, whether you're starting blank or bringing half-formed ideas. It's less masterclass, more collaborative jam with someone who genuinely wants your voice (literal or metaphorical) in the room.

Premium Non-Private 3 Hour Crab Island Tour with Bathroom

When Lily from our team ran this 3-hour Crab Island tour, she found a solid middle-ground option for folks wanting water time without the private-boat price tag. You're floating around shallow turquoise shallows on paddleboards and lounging on inflatable sofas, with snorkel gear on hand to check out whatever's below. It's a shared group setup — so you'll have company — but the vibe felt relaxed rather than hectic. The real drawcard is the dolphin spotting run in hour three, and there's an actual loo onboard, which matters more than you'd think on a water tour.

3 hoursfrom AUD $106

Discover LA in a Classic Cadillac Eldorado

Discover LA in a Classic Cadillac Eldorado

When Sarah from our BugBitten team booked this LA tour, she expected the usual drive-past-landmarks routine—instead, she got three hours cruising the city in an actual 1973 Cadillac Eldorado convertible with the top down. It's a different way to clock the sights: you're moving through the sprawl at a pace that lets you actually see the neighbourhoods rather than just race between them, and there's something about that vintage American steel that shifts how the city reads. The guide handles navigation and commentary while you get the wind-in-hair, chrome-and-cream aesthetic. Not a conventional tour bus, but genuinely memorable if you've got the time and the budget for a slower, more tactile LA experience.

The Boat People Cruise Private Harbor Cruises

When Lily from our BugBitten team tried this Newport Bay private sailboat cruise, it felt like borrowing a mate's boat for an evening — just you, your crew (max four), and a captain steering through the harbour. You pick your light: sunrise to shake off sleep, afternoon sun, full sunset, or twilight when the bay lights kick in. It's 90 minutes of open water, bow seating, and whatever snacks and drinks you bring along. The vibe is relaxed and intimate, with the setup handling your provisions and a speaker for your playlist.

Private Sandbar Adventure in Key West Backcountry

When Jake from our team did this three-hour sandbar run out of Key West, we got a proper taste of the Florida Keys backwoods — the kind of place where mangroves crowd the water and you're genuinely hoping to spot dolphins. The tour hits a few sandbars where you can paddle board, snorkel, or just float about with a drink. It's relaxed pacing, small-group stuff, and the crew supplies snorkel gear, boards, water, and a cooler full of ice. The Keys attract a mix of families, couples, and solo travellers keen on something low-key but wild-feeling.

The Escape Game at Tysons Corner

When Tom from our team tried The Escape Game at Tysons Corner, he found a solid puzzle room experience wedged into a major shopping hub just outside DC. The venue sits plumb in the middle of Tyson's Corner mall area—surrounded by restaurants and shops, so it's easy to build a full afternoon around a 1 hour 15 minute puzzle session. The room itself is straightforward escape-room fare: you and your group (max size not specified in the blurb, but standard formats suggest 4–8 people) lock in, solve clues, and try to get out before time's up. It's the kind of thing that works best if you show up with a crew who actually wants to think together.

14 passenger Whale Watching Tours in Icy Strait aka Hoonah AK

When Jake from our team booked this 14-person whale watching tour out of Hoonah, Alaska, we weren't sure what to expect from a 2.5-hour trip in Icy Strait. Turns out the humpbacks show up reliably—we spotted several breaching and feeding—and the bonus wildlife kept things lively: orcas, sea otters, bald eagles wheeling overhead. The boat's small enough to feel nimble but big enough that you're not crammed in. The scenery alone—jagged coastline, glacial backdrop—makes it worth the ticket. Coffee and tea are served, and the whole vibe is low-key, which suited us fine.

Grand Canyon Helicopter and Ranch Adventure by Luxury Vehicle

When Noah from our team ran this seven-hour loop from Las Vegas, it packed a lot in: we got picked up on the Strip, stopped at Hoover Dam for photos, drove through Joshua Tree forest in a Mercedes Sprinter, then hit the main event—a 20-minute helicopter ride that climbed 4,000 feet above the Grand Canyon West Rim before dropping 2,500 feet to see the canyon walls properly. The mix of scenery, air time, and ranch activities made it feel less like a single-focus tour and more like a day that kept shifting gears. It's a Vegas-to-canyon routine that appeals to first-timers and thrill-seekers who want the helicopter without the long drive themselves.

The Ultimate Private Adventure

When Jake from our team booked Kona Ocean Adventures' private charter, he got a boat to himself and up to five mates for the full four hours. Based off Kona's coast on Hawaii's Big Island, this is genuinely customisable — you can chase wild dolphins, anchor at reefs most tourists never see, dive Kealakekua Bay, or just float and snorkel depending on what your group fancies. The crew (a captain and snorkel or dive guide) handles all the gear, meals come with it, and you're never fighting crowds or sticking to someone else's itinerary.

4 hoursfrom AUD $2684

45 min – 1h 30mfrom AUD $106

New York City Private Tour

When Jake from our BugBitten team tried this NYC pedicab tour, he found it a genuinely relaxed way to clock the big-ticket sights without burning out on footwork. You roll through Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Fifth Avenue and beyond at a human pace, stopping for photos that actually work because someone's not rushing you along. The ride's about 45 minutes to 90 minutes depending on what you book, and it suits everyone from kids in prams to people who'd rather not hoof it all day. The vibe is low-key, the legwork is someone else's job, and you get proper coverage of central Manhattan without the chaos of a coach full of tourists.

Private 6-Hour Butler Chain Of Lakes Fishing Charter Near Orlando

🐠 Water Activities

Private 6-Hour Butler Chain Of Lakes Fishing Charter Near Orlando

When Noah from our team booked this private charter on the Butler Chain of Lakes, we found ourselves on a 6-hour bass fishing run about 20 minutes from the Disney crowds. The chain winds through what looks like Central Florida's answer to mansion row—waterfront estates with manicured gardens line the banks while you're working the water in a modern 21-footer with a licensed local captain. It's the sort of outing that lets you tick 'proper fishing' without needing years of experience or your own kit. Families, couples keen on a quiet day on the water, and keen anglers all seem to find their groove here.

6 hoursfrom AUD $918

Uniquely Personalized Private Island Tour on Oahu, Hawaii

6 hours – 12 hoursfrom AUD $987

Uniquely Personalized Private Island Tour on Oahu, Hawaii

When Ben from our team ran this private tour around Oahu, we found it's the kind of setup that works best when you know exactly what you want to see — because that's the whole point. You get a driver and guide for 6–12 hours, circle the island hitting spots like Diamond Head or the North Shore, and can bolt on extras like Kualoa Ranch or a shark cage dive without juggling separate bookings. It's just you, your group, and the flexibility to chase what matters. Works well for families or clusters of mates who've got a rough itinerary in mind but don't want to be herded onto a coach.

LA Combo: Celebrity Homes & Lifestyle Tour and Hop-on Hop-off Bus

LA Combo: Celebrity Homes & Lifestyle Tour and Hop-on Hop-off Bus

When Sarah from our team ran this LA combo, she got the celebrity homes tour in a luxury van plus access to Big Bus's hop-on hop-off network across two routes. The 2-hour guided drive through Hollywood Hills, Mulholland Drive, Beverly Hills, and the Sunset Strip hits the obvious draws — the Hollywood Sign, Walk of Fame, Rodeo Drive — with a live guide doing the talking. You then unlock 24, 48, or 72 hours of open-top double-decker bus hopping on the Hollywood Loop and Santa Monica Beach Loop, giving you flexibility to explore at your own pace. It's a solid sampler if you're doing LA for the first time and want both curated storytelling and the freedom to linger.
