Traveling is more than just visiting - it's about experiencing. With platforms like Get Your Guide, booking unforgettable adventures is simple. Here are five must-try Get Your Guide experiences that I've loved from around the world - save these for your next trip!
Florence, Italy: Uffizi Gallery Small-Group Guided Tour with Ticket
This experience offers an intimate exploration of one of Italy's most renowned art museums. Led by an expert guide, participants delve into the Uffizi Gallery's vast collection, featuring masterpieces by artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Botticelli.
The tour is limited to a small group, and includes skip-the-line access, allowing visitors to bypass the often lengthy queues and maximise their time immersed in art. Ideal for art enthusiasts and history buffs, this experience provides a comprehensive and engaging overview of the Uffizi Gallery's treasures.
Kyoto, Japan: Insider Sake Brewery Tour with Sake and Food Pairing
Delve into the rich sake traditions of Kyoto's Fushimi district. Guided by a sake expert, you'll visit renowned breweries such as the Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum (which I loved) or the Higashiyama Sake Brewery (Kizakura Museum), gaining insights into centuries-old brewing techniques.
The experience includes guided tastings of various sake varieties, each thoughtfully paired with traditional Japanese snacks to enhance the flavours. This immersive journey offers a deep appreciation of Kyoto's esteemed sake culture, making it ideal for both connoisseurs and newcomers alike. My guide was fantastic, the sake delicious, and the food pairings wonderful.
Santorini, Greece: Semi-Private Catamaran Cruise with Food & Drinks
This 5-hour journey invites you to explore volcanic beaches and rejuvenating hot springs, all while enjoying the comfort of a luxurious catamaran. With a semi-private setting, you'll sail to iconic spots like the Red Beach and White Beach, where you can swim and snorkel in crystal-clear waters.
Onboard, savour a freshly prepared meal accompanied by local wines, beer, and soft drinks. Whether you choose the daytime voyage or the sunset option, this cruise is the best way to enjoy Santorini's Aegean sea and beaches accessible only by boat.
Chiang Mai, Thailand: Evening Local Street Food Market Tour
Immerse yourself in the city's vibrant culinary scene. Over 2.5 hours, this guided experience takes you through bustling night markets, offering the opportunity to sample at least eight authentic Thai dishes.
With hotel pickup and drop-off included, you'll enjoy a seamless and flavourful exploration of Chiang Mai's renowned street food culture. Some of my favourite dishes were the roasted pork and Khao Soi.
Rome, Italy: Jewish Quarter Street Food Tour
Embark on a guided street food tour in Rome, choosing between the vibrant Trastevere district or the historic Jewish Quarter and Campo de' Fiori. In Trastevere, wander through charming alleys, indulging in local delicacies such as supplì (fried rice balls), cured meats, pizza, and artisanal gelato.
Alternatively, in the Jewish Quarter (which is the tour I chose), savour traditional Jewish-Roman dishes amidst ancient streets, such as charcuterie and fried artichoke. Both tours offer an authentic taste of Rome's rich culinary heritage, allowing easy enjoyment of the best food in the city. Personally, a walking food tour is my preferred way to get acquainted with any city.
