Madrid Tapas Adventure

A famous delicacy in the whole of Spain, you can’t visit its thriving cities without trying some tapas. Unbeatable for lively evenings and social hangouts, Madrid is a mecca for food, bars and culture, whether you head inside an old tavern or visit the more modern establishments. On the Madrid Tapas Adventure, you can sample handmade tapas and learn about the traditional ingredients and recipes in just three hours for around AUD$80pp. With four eateries and a market in three different neighbourhoods, you’ll also be able to discover more about Madrid’s Literary District and the multi-cultural community of Lavapiés as you walk around the city with your local guide.

Game Of Thrones Dubrovnik Tour

Because everyone wants to see where the Red Wedding took place and walk the city walls of King’s Landing, city tours of Dubrovnik are rife. For any Game Of Thrones fans worth their salt, a visit to these locations goes without question. Dubrovnik Day Tours put on a Games Of Thrones Dubrovnik Tour with a local guide and an extra from the set for insider information. During the tour, you get to visit the real locations of the Magical City of Quarth, the Red Keep and Tomb Of The Undying, while imagining the famous scenes taking place. There will also be moderations to the tour as season five airs, so you’ll be getting the most up-to-date experience possible.

Hot Rod City Tour Berlin

Because an ordinary car just won’t do when you’re driving around one of the most awe-inspiring cities, jump inside a Hot Rod and explore Berlin. Buzzing your way around this captivating city, you’ll view icons such as Alexanderplatz, Reichstag and Gendarmenmarkt with a tour guide leading the way. You can only rent a Hot Rod in the warmer seasons between April and October, at AUD$77pp for one hour or AUD$108pp for two hours. You will of course need a valid driving licence as you’ll be on the main roads, and helmets and caps are required. Not only in Berlin, you can also drive a Hot Rod in Ibiza, Vienna, Mallorca and Hamburg!

Venice By Boat

Is there really any other way to travel around Venice? The canals and waterways of this supremely pretty city are famous the world over, and you can float along them at a relaxing pace on this two-hour tour at AUD$169pp. Beginning in the smaller canals, these arguably tell you more about Venice’s neighbourhoods than the iconic Grand Canal, which you’ll get to spend the last hour passing through. The private boat is covered and carries no more than six passengers, so your views are unspoilt and the ride is calm. While less intense than the walking tours of the city, Venice by boat is not to be missed.

The Dublin City Pub Crawl

Home to some of the finest pubs in the world, Dublin is famous for its beer, so why not tag along on the Dublin City Pub Crawl to see what all the fuss is about? Starting at The Porterhouse Central in Temple Bar every Friday and Saturday evening, you can learn how to pull the perfect pint of Guinness, receive free or discounted grub, enjoy smooth, cold pints and listen to some live Irish music in a beautiful setting. These pubs are traditional, unspoilt and full of character, and at just AUD$16pp, you can discover the influence they’ve had on writers, artists and musicians for decades.
