About:Adam and Steve Travel is a small company operating out of the U.K. that offers exclusive guided tours for LGBT travelers. Italy is their specialty -- upcoming trips visit Venice and Verona -- but they also jump across the pond to hotspots like Palm Springs, Calif. With a focus on group dynamics, the splendor of Europe can be enjoyed with friends or become the perfect romantic getaway. For extra reassurance, all of the tours are ATOL (Air Travel Organisers Licensing) protected.
Clientele: 100% gay; 60% men; 40% singles
Price range: $500-815
Upcoming trips:Venice will be resplendent as the annual Carnivale comes to town from Feb. 13-24. Wine, revelry, magnificent costumes, a gondola ride through the canals, and accommodations at Hotels Danieli and Rialto must be experienced in person to be believed. Group sizes are small.
Deals and steals: When you mention Out Traveler during booking, save about $70 per person. For example, the U.S. tour price without flights for the Verona trip is approximately $800/per person, per week, including food and wine.
