Our Home is Your Home for our 2025 Madrid Tour

Madrid is the best city in the world—but we would say that, we live here! Join us for 7 Days in Spain – Madrid, Toledo & Segovia from September 18-24, 2025, and let us show you why. Stay in a gay-friendly hotel in the heart of Madrid, explore the city’s history with David, and visit the spectacular Reina Sofia gallery before indulging in the best local cuisine.

As night falls, we’ll take you for a Spanish Drag Queen show over dinner, then set out into Madrid’s (in)famous gay nightlife on a—guaranteed to be eventful—bar crawl in the gayborhood. We’ll also visit Toledo, a stunning medieval city and former Spanish capital, and Segovia, home to a legendary Roman aqueduct, a fairy-tale castle, and some quirky traditions—you’ll have to see to believe! In Spain, we like to say “Mi casa es tu casa”, and this October, our home is indeed yours. Read our reviews here.

SPECIAL OFFER!

Book by April 30 and solo travelers pay no single supplement.

Always a Shore Thing in Italy – Seven Experiences on an LGBTQ+ Tour of Southern Italy

The islands just off the tip of Southern Italy aren’t just easy on the eyes—they’re gorgeous; alluring even, calling out for attention from intrepid travelers who venture down from the mainland. Sicily is well known for its beauty, especially after its appearance in the second season of The White Lotus, but it also offers a wealth of cultural experiences beyond just stunning beaches and clifftop hotels. Sicily has, after all, always been a crossroads of civilization, with Italian, Greek, Roman, Arab, and Spanish influences.

Gay Travel Guide to Vancouver

Earth, Water, and Ice! No, that isn’t a 1970s soul band, but rather the elements that define Vancouver. The Canadian city, situated on a peninsula along the west coast of North America, is surrounded by rainforests thick with ancient pines, beaches with crystal-clear waters, and snow-capped mountains rising like frosty guardians above the skyline. In Vancouver, you could be sunbathing on a beach in the morning and skiing in the afternoon. The city itself is pleasing on the eyes too, resembling a glass forest of towering skyscrapers with verdant parks scattered below – a wilderness woven around an urban heart.
