Follow a licensed local guide from Jackson Square through the French Quarter, stopping at storied bars, Pirates Alley, Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop, and the Lalaurie Mansion. Guides such as DJ, Caroline, Jenna, and John bring different styles, while drinks are generally purchased separately.
“From start to finish a fantastic way to see New Orleans, learn about its unique culture and get pieces of the local flare.

Ride from central Bar Harbor into Acadia National Park with an English-speaking guide such as Rick, Ronny, or Ken. You will stop at Cadillac Mountain, Thunder Hole, and Sieur de Monts Spring, with about 45 to 60 minutes off the bus and no driving to worry about.
“Great tour and great tour guide. Ken was quite entertaining! I would highly recommend this tour. All six of us enjoyed this very much.”
Walk Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine district with guides such as Miranda, Harrison, or Breslin, then enter the Linck and Jackson brewery tunnels. You’ll see old Moerlein structures, hear local stories, pass Findlay Market and Rhinegeist, and finish with one Northern Row beer for adults 21 and over.
“My husband and I celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary. I had been looking into this tour for a while and thought it would something different for us to do on our anniversary. We absolutely loved it. Miranda, our tour guide with American Legacy Tours, was simply phenomenal. She was so knowledgeable, has a fantastic sense of humor, and made the tour worth the money. It was a wonderful experience. We are not from this area and only lived here for 2.5 years, so we learned so much about the city of Cincinnati. We will absolutely take some of friends and family on this tour as long as we can book…”
Meet at noon in Johnson Square for a three-hour, small-group walk through Savannah’s Historic District and River Street. Guides such as Christina share local stories as you sample six rotating food stops, with vegetarian options and drinks included. Alcohol costs extra.
“Christina was absolutely amazing! We learned so much. We laughed so much. And all the food stops were fantastic. We even went back to one of the places on our own after the tour. The best part about the tour was definitely Christina. She was so knowledgeable about the city's history and culture. She answered questions, debunked myths and shared stories that were not in the usual literature for tourists. She loves this city and it shows. Can't recommend this tour more highly!”
Board Sea Maui’s barefoot catamaran from Ka’anapali Beach for a two-hour sunset sail with unlimited drinks, heavy pupus, music on select Tuesdays and Thursdays, and winter whale watching. Expect a lively crew, beach loading, and the chance to get wet before the sunset begins.
“It was awesome. Great cruise, the crew was great, drinks and appetizers were fantastic. We would definitely do it again.”

“This tour guide was great but the tour was just a pub crawl. You'll see hi-lights were disappointing. Not much of a tour.”

“Penny Dreadful was a wonderful, fun, and informative guide and we had a wonderful time on our tour! My friend also accidentally left her i.d. at one of the haunted pubs and the company was extremely helpful to us in figuring out which bar it was left at so we could retrieve it before our flight home the next day. ♡ We recommend this tour very highly!”
Spend about two hours walking Nashville’s downtown bars with a guide such as Sean, Jimmy, Will, or Elijah. Visit four establishments, including Doc Holliday’s and Broadway honky tonks, with one selected drink at each stop. Expect music, moonshine, local beer, cocktails, and a free fanny pack, but no food.
“The tour guide wasn’t knowledgeable about the establishments we visited. I asked several questions about the area trying to get him to engage as a tour guide to no avail. The 4 establishments served weak, very sweet drinks. Wish we would have just explored on our own and used the tour $ to buy better quality drinks. Very disappointed.”
Board near the French Quarter for a three-hour evening on the Mississippi. Your VIP host provides early boarding, Champagne, front-row Dukes of Dixieland seating, dinner, a boat and engine-room tour, photo, pin, and CD. Marlon Brown and Brittany are among the hosts praised for attentive service.
“The whole trip was fantastic! It was a very fun experience and the food was amazing! The music was great and we got a good location with some food and wine! Our hosts were so wonderful! They were friendly and attentive! Dinner was great and we didn’t have to worry about our seat! This was worth the money and a very great experience for our first time in NOLA!”
Join Unique NOLA for a two-hour, adults-only walk through the French Quarter, mixing ghost stories, true crime, brothel lore, and three historic bar stops. Guides such as Delvin, Dane, Anderson, Carlo, and Adelle bring different comic styles to tales of murder, adultery, and the city’s seedy past.
“Our tour guide Delvin was absolutely fantastic. Our entire group’s cheeks were sore from laughing. Delvin does not disappoint…his knowledge of the French Quarter history combined with his comedic delivery was pure joy. Chefs kiss !! Highly recommended this tour.”
Spend about two hours aboard America 2.0, a replica of the 1851 Schooner America. From Key West Bight Marina, sail past Fort Zachary, Sunset Pier, Mallory Square, and Sand Key Lighthouse while the crew serves plated hors d'oeuvres, beer, wine, Champagne, and soda.
“We went out on a cool day with a low cloud bank, so not a great sunset… but they can’t control the weather! The staff did a nice job keeping everything moving smoothly and distributing the hors d’oeuvres, which consisted of vegetable plate with wrench dip, shrimp with cocktail sauce, cheese, and crackers, and a brownie bite for dessert. They had a good offering of different wines and beers and sodas. Sadly, we did not see any wildlife to speak of except birds. It was fun to visit with the people around us, of which there were a lot! It was impressive to see the crew of Milo, Mary, Dan…”
