But don't take our word for it, read what just a few of our past travelers have to say:

John & David - Chicago, IL
Trip: Comfort Vietnam
"We had such a phenomenal time. Vietnam is an amazing country, and this trip is the perfect introduction. This was our first trip to Asia, and we really got a great feel for the culture, history and people. This trip is an excellent mix - fascinating cities with time to chill on the beach and stunning Ha Long Bay. Vietnam is very gay-friendly, and we felt completely comfortable. I highly, highly recommend it. You'll fall in love with the country!"

Steve - Washington, DC
Trip: Comfort Vietnam
"Outstanding adventure. Well-organized and well-paced for little more than a two week trip. The guide helped our group easily navigate the country--no one in this group spoke the language. I would recommend OUT and plan to travel with them again soon."

Nick - Toronto, Canada
Trip: Comfort Thailand
"Great trip! A good balance of culture and fun..."

Joe - San Francisco, USA
Trip: Active Peru & Inca Trail
"The combination of unspoiled natural scenery, physical challenge, and insight into an incredible way of life so different from my own made this trip one of the most enriching experiences of my life."

John - Toronto, Canada
Trip: Comfort Thailand
"I have been on several group led trips before, but never had as much fun as I did with this trip to Thailand."

Mark - Washington, USA
Trip: Active Peru & Inca Trail
"Experiencing a great vacation can be hard, particularly if you're single. So many things can go wrong - or at least not right. With Out Adventures, it seems they cut the variables down. I had a great time with an amazing group of guys that happened to be gay. Peru was an incredible place to visit and the place, combined with my travel companions, allowed for a very fulfilling trip on a social and personal level. The planning and pace of the trip made my time in Peru feel comfortable and easy. I would recommend Out Adventures and the Peru trip to anyone."

Ed & Caleb - Beverly, MA, USA
Trip: Active Peru & Inca Trail
"The trip really exceeded our expectations -- Cynthia was fantastic, Peru was beautiful, and the experience was once in a lifetime!"

Don - New York, USA
Trip: Active Peru & Inca Trail
"One of the best vacations I've ever had. Active is the only way to go. Some people like to "do nothing" on their vacations. I'd much rather do something on my vacation. In fact that would be the perfect tag line. OUT Adventures - Do Something!"

OUT Adventures traveler profile: Mark, DC, USA

We asked Mark a few questions and here is what he had to say about travel and his OUT Adventures experience...

When and where did you travel with us? - "I took the active trip to Peru in May of 2009."

Why did you decide to book with a gay operator vs. a mainstream operator? - "I specifically wanted an active trip to Peru that included travel to Machu Picchu and I was looking for an operator that offered the best trip. Out Adventures offered everything that I was looking for with the added bonus that I would be traveling with a small group of men who were gay. It was an easy choice."

Have you been on group trips before or do you typically travel solo? - "I have usually traveled with someone, but circumstance and my own interests helped me make the choice to take this trip solo."

You traveled with OUT Adventures to Peru - do you feel it was a good choice to travel with a group? - "I experienced Peru in a way that would not have been possible were I traveling alone. Our guides, the itinerary, and the group of people that I was traveling with created unique opportunities to interact with the people and country we were visiting. Even guinea pig tastes better when shared with fellow travelers."

What were the highlights of your trip? - "There were so many things from start to finish. Machu Picchu is beyond words; truly a wonder of the world. Camping and hiking the Lares Trek provided personal and group experiences that I will never forget. Oh, and the gay Latin dance club in Lima! Can’t forget that!"

What were the low points of your trip? - "Funny, the things that would seem to probably be the low points – transportation strike, fogged in at the airport, etc. – turned out to provide some of the more interesting moments of the trip."

Would you travel with a gay group again and why? - "Yes, if only to hear the after dinner stories from everyone I was with!"

Were you intimidated as a solo traveler booking on a group trip? - "Any trepidation that I did have as a solo traveler was taken care of because it was a gay trip. I already knew I had at least one thing in common with my traveling companions."
