The opportunities seemed more personal and unique — such as a tour of Rome from the back of a Vespa or a tailor-made culinary tour of Tuscany — than what I was finding on other local sites. Other fascinating tours include one of London’s historic docks, and a day trip to the most beautiful cove in Spain’s Costa Brava that includes lunch, a swim and a tour from a local who speaks three languages.
