Bali: Bedugul Lake Temple, Banyumala Waterfall, UNESCO Rice Field

Capture Unforgettable Moments: Private Holiday Photography

When Em from our team booked a private family photo session with a Myrtle Beach photographer, what stood out was working directly with a local pro rather than a faceless subcontractor. Kristina Barron does the shooting and editing herself—no middleman, no disconnect. You're getting someone who knows the area and can scout the perfect backdrop, whether that's Myrtle Beach State Park (free entry included) or another scenic spot nearby. It's an hour, one-on-one, designed to capture the actual warmth between family members, not just posed grins.

Maui Road to Hana VIP Private Tour in Convertible Bronco or Jeep

When Lily from our BugBitten team booked the Reverse Road to Hana Loop, she got what amounts to a private ribbon of Maui's windward coast unspooled backwards—and it made a real difference. Instead of joining the crawl of minivans heading to Hana, you're peeling off the main drag early, catching red and black sand beaches, hunting waterfalls, and stopping at family-run roadside joints for lunch on your own timeline. It's a convertible Bronco or Jeep job, fully customisable, and your guide leans on actual Hawaiian cultural knowledge rather than tourist patter. Six to nine hours depending on where curiosity takes you.

Blue Gift Package 3

Blue Gift's therapists work through your entire body over two and a half hours, targeting tension from head to feet.

2.5 Hour Moab Hell's Revenge You Drive Off Road UTV Tour

When Mia from our team took the Hell's Revenge UTV tour near Moab, she spent 2.5 hours driving her own modified ride across some seriously sculpted red rock. You're handed the wheel and guided through steep climbs, technical rock crawls, and stomach-dropping descents, finishing at the Colorado River Overlook with views that make your arms ache worth it. Moab's slickrock is world-famous for a reason—the terrain feels almost alien, and having full control of the vehicle (with a pro guide in your ear) makes it feel more adventure than theme park.

Buffalo Airport / Canadian destinations (Niagara Falls)

When Tom from our BugBitten team booked a transfer from Buffalo Airport to Niagara Falls, he appreciated the straightforward reliability on offer. This is a private car service — a Lincoln Navigator SUV with a professional driver who tracks your flight and handles door-to-door pickup across the Niagara Region (Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake, St. Catharines, Welland, Fort Erie and surrounds). It's the kind of service that shines when you're arriving jet-lagged or catching an early flight and can't face coordinating shuttles or rideshare. Covers up to six passengers with room for luggage.

Juneau Lighthouse Tours - Whale watching & Lighthouse Combo

When Em from our team booked this Juneau combo, we were after whales and scenery — and got both in one tight 4hr 15min window. You're on the water hunting humpbacks and orcas in Lynn Canal, then climbing the Sentinel Island lighthouse (one of Southeast Alaska's originals) to scan the coastline and glacier views. The boat's got heated cabins and binoculars onboard, snacks run to local fudge and caribou sausage, and there's a glacier lookout stop thrown in. It's the kind of tour that packs a lot without feeling rushed — assuming the whales cooperate and weather holds.

Key West Jet Ski Tour: The Only 2-Hour Ride on the Island

When Sarah from our BugBitten team took this out, it was the most time on a jet ski Key West offers — a proper 2-hour loop covering 28 miles with stops at five or six spots worth seeing. You're on brand-new 2024 Yamahas that actually feel planted and quick, and your guide steers you past the Southernmost Point, sandbars, and patches where wildlife hangs out while dropping local history. Most jet ski tours here are a quick blast; this one stretches out enough that you're genuinely exploring rather than just burning fuel. Small groups and private bookings keep things personal.

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.

50-Minute Driving Tour: Explore Los Angeles in a Lamborghini

When Charlie from our team took this 50-minute Lamborghini Huracan Spyder tour, we got the full Hollywood postcard experience—all rumbling acceleration and wide-angle views. You start at the Walk of Fame, carve up through the hills to Mulholland Drive, and swing past the Hollywood Sign for photos with the supercar as your prop. The co-pilot handles the patter about film history while the driver does the work, so it's more passenger thrill than hands-on drive. It's short, sharp, and genuinely fun if you're chasing that adrenaline hit and iconic LA backdrops in one hit.

Bali Private Airport Pick up

Skip the airport taxi queue and arrive in Bali with a driver waiting for you at arrivals. This private transfer pairs a climate-controlled car with a named driver holding your nameplate, giving you a calm introduction to the island. You'll ride alone or with your group from Bali airport to your accommodation, with cold water and WiFi access included. The service covers fuel and parking, so no hidden costs surprise you at journey's end.

Seattle City Tour 3-Hours (Private Tour)

When Mia from our BugBitten team ran this private three-hour tour, it nailed the essentials of Seattle in one hit. You'll roll through Pioneer Square—the city's oldest neighbourhood with proper character, old buildings, and decent photo ops—then swing by the Ballard Locks to watch fishing boats and freighters jostle between the sound and the inland lakes. The finale is a viewpoint overlooking downtown and the Space Needle, the kind of vista that actually justifies the hype. Small group, private transport, guide included. It's a solid half-day intro if you're in town and don't want to faff about with buses.

Private Cooking Classes in Rome!

Learn to make three Roman classics—ravioli, tagliolini cacio e pepe, and tiramisu—in a purpose-built kitchen in Rome over three hours. This private class keeps groups small (up to eight people) so you work at your own station with a cooktop, building real hands-on skills rather than watching a demonstration. You'll cook, eat what you've made, taste wine, and leave with printed recipes and a certificate.

taxi / transfer service to and from airports

Door-to-door airport transfer across Italy in a quality vehicle, handling the handoff from landing to your next stop. A driver meets you at arrivals with your name on a card, takes your luggage, and drives you to your destination—no hunting for taxis or deciphering local transport. Journeys typically run 30 minutes to an hour depending on location. Reliable, on-time service that removes the friction from travel.

Arches Full Day Private Tour & Hike

When Tom from our BugBitten team ran the Arches Full Day Private Tour, we got the red rocks without the hassle. You're collected from your accommodation near the park and driven straight in—no queuing for timed-entry tickets. A private naturalist guide walks you through over 2,000 arches across six to eight hours, explaining geology, Indigenous history, and the wildlife underfoot. The pace is yours to set, the air-con van is a genuine comfort between stops, and midday you're fed a proper gourmet picnic (they'll cater to allergies and dietary needs with notice). It's the opposite of rushing through a visitor-centre line.

This isn't a scenic float—it's 2.5 hours of consecutive whitewater that demands solid swimming ability and real fitness. The creek near Idaho Springs delivers back-to-back sections with barely a breath between them, and the scenery whips past quickly.
