Oscar Wilde Tours is the only tour company focused on LGBTQ+ history, culture, and art. We offer live and virtual "LGBTQ+ Secrets" tours of many different art museums, cities, palaces, and so on. We also offer several multi-day LGBTQ+ history and art tours a year. In 2023, we are offering Germany (Sept 10-19), Italy (Sept 21-30), and Greece (Oct 1-10).

I'm usually hesitant about traveling with group tours, but this one was exceptionally excellent! Berlin and Munich are very different cities, culturally and architecturally, so they offered an interesting contrast of German experiences. The overlay of gay history gave a dimension to the tour that was unique and fascinating. That, in addition to traveling with a group of gay men, gave me a sense of belonging that is often missing when traveling to new places. The group was small and all the members were interesting and collaborative, so it felt very comfortable from the very beginning. In terms of site seeing, we covered many of the important sites which had a gay story to be told, but were also important in and of themselves. There was plenty of "free time" to explore other sites, like museums etc., so the itinerary did not feel overcrowded or rushed. Andrew Lear is a fabulous host/guide! All of the arrangements (hotels, guides, meals) were well chosen. And Andrew is so knowledgeable that the tour truly was an educational experience. I would highly recommend Oscar Wilde tours to any gay man who wants a fascinating, enjoyable and educational vacation in interesting locales. Even if you've seen a city before, you probably haven't experienced it in the same way as you will with an Oscar Wilde tour! Dana R

Thanks for this lovely review, Dana. And especially, thanks for mentioning how great the group was: I'm not sure why, but our groups are always great. I'm glad to have had you in one of them. Hope to see you again!

I had a marvelous time in Germany via Oscar Wilde Tours. The tour was well planned and filled with so many interesting experiences and places to visit, many with LGBT+ significance. I also appreciated the scheduled free time, so that I could attend the Berlin ballet one evening; upon leaving the theater, there was an unexpected light show to end a very full day. I love those unexpected pleasures when traveling. Bravo Oscar Wilde Tours!

Congenial companions, spirited conversation, rich art and architecture. The trip ranged from expertly guided tours of the ruins of Paestum and Pompeii to a breezy, sun-drenched boat excursion around the isle of Capri. I was delighted by the quality of the homoerotic art we viewed and the range of the homosexual history we encountered. I only wish that the trip could have lasted longer.
