GLBT Tour and Travel Planning
At Tuscan-Colors , our mission is specifically to
meet the needs of today's savvy gay traveler.
What can Tuscan-Colors offer the GLBT community?
TRUE INSIDER ACCESS...
We know that our market is sophisticated and that finding a great deal on a flight or accommodations through the internet is within virtually everyone's reach. Of course, a large part of our mission is to provide those important elements of the holiday package but, more so, it is to give our travelers the benefit of our on-the-ground experience, our intimate and extensive knowledge of the people and places that will make a visit to Tuscany not just a vacation but...
A JOURNEY OF THE HEART AND THE SOUL...
The intense beauty, art, culture and spirituality of this land beckon. But a true appreciation - a full and thorough partaking of this fabulous feast for the senses - requires the kind of groundwork that most individuals in today's harried work environment simply don't have the time for...as well as local knowledge, language skills and, of course, connections. These are precisely what Tuscan-Colors can bring to the party!
We at Tuscan-Colors are Tuscans, gay and travel professionals with a combined 70 years of experience! We have traveled to every corner of our region, have researched and inspected hundreds of hotels and restaurants and have the intimate familiarity and knowledge that permit us to create not just itineraries but unique life experiences. We profit from our personal connections to gain entrée to the private world of the Tuscans. We profit from our expertise to create adventures not normally accessible to the ordinary short-term visitor. No one wants to be part of the old hackneyed formula of one-night stands, cattle cars and whistle stops - least of all us! So come have a look at what travel in Tuscany means to us:

Tuscan-Colors REPRESENTS TUSCANY'S FINEST GAY ACCOMMODATIONS
Within the last few years, many gay entrepreneurs - some Italian, others English and American - have decided to live out their own dream of beauty, culture, art and romance under the Tuscan sun and have established some truly remarkable accommodation properties.
Some are simple, rustic farmhouses lovingly brought up-to-date. Others are actual working farms - or agriturismi - whose nascent productions of wine and olive oil are beginning to appear in the regional marketplaces. Yet others still are grandiose villas with marvelous gardens or elegant centre city apartments reflecting the character of their sophisticated cosmopolitan owners. And some are simply people's charming homes opened to paying guests during the tourist season. What they all share in common is a mission to reach the GLBT community with a message of welcome and hospitality. Tuscan-Colors shares that mission as we envision our role to be a container for all suitable gay-owned, gay-operated and/or gay-marketed properties in our region.

Tuscan-Colors OFFERS A UNIQUE SELECTION OF GAY DAY TOURS
The gay history of Italy is rich, fascinating and extensive! On our adventurous walking tours, accompanied by a private expert local guide specialized in the topic, our guests relive the most salient moments in the homosexual history of the city while visiting the sites where they transpired.

In Venice, the erotic intrigue of a port city joined with the heady carnivalesque atmosphere of this innately pleasure-loving place to make it a homosexual paradise in the 18th century. Did Casanova himself go both ways? What truly inspired Mann and Tchaikovsky?

In Rome, from the dastardly persecutions of sodomite heretics like Giordano Bruno to the sumptuousness of the Papal Court, homosexual history and high history intertwine. In the noble palazzi of the Eternal City, courtier Pietro Aretino created a model for the homosexual companion of privileged ladies - or cicisbeo - which persists right down to Rupert Everett and the present day!
