TRAVEL TO ITALY




Step out is a specific branch of Nobel Viaggi Srl, a travel agency and tour operator in based in Florence Italy. Step Out was born to meet the needs of gay and lesbian people who would like to travel to Italy and more specifically to Florence and be able to enjoy a relaxed vacation – no “second looks” and no “whispering behind your back”. Our experience in the travel business dates back to 1993, we can arrange your holiday from A to Z so that you do not have to worry, only enjoy. Step Out can take you to any place in Italy and especially in Florence, we can take care of your travelling arrangements, and hotel reservations, but mostly what we can do is look after your spare time and make sure that you truly appreciate this beautiful country.



Our experience in the travel business has helped us understand what a person on vacation, or on a business trip is really looking for. We try to give our best deal keeping in mind how important it is to maintain the comfort and the relaxed feeling one should be able to appreciate when travelling.

Travelling to Italy if you are gay or lesbian can be a true challenge, the Italian mentality is generally still antiquated, in many cities and mostly in some of the small towns it might be difficult to be accepted. Step Out has selected a series of hotels, restaurants, and other facilities where you will not be treated as a different person, you will be a welcome client. Step Out will organize sightseeing tours in Florence where you will be able to admire the original David by Michelangelo, or Botticelli’s Primavera, in the Uffizi Gallery. You will be able to climb up to the very top of Burnelleschi’s Duomo, the only free standing dome in the world. We will take you to the best wineries, where you  will taste some of the most famous wines as Tignanello, and Brunello di Montalcino, but you you will also see the most beautiful countryside in Italy, the Chianti with its rolling hills covered with vines and olive trees.

During the month on November we can arrange for you to see how olives are picked and how true Extra Virgin olive oil is pressed, you can also learn about Tuscan cooking and all the famous recipes like Bruschetta, Pappa al Pomodoro, Ribollita, or the fish dishes like Cacciucco.

The tours that we can organize for you can be of cultural interest, and we can also arrange Art History courses so you will better appreciate the historical sites of Italy, but they can also be of recreational interest, for example a shopping tour of the Prada and Gucci outlet where you can get “the best buy”.

Our experienced and multi lingual staff will accept any challenge, if you would like a special tour, just ask us and we will do our best to satisfy your request. Nobel Viaggi, and therefore Step Out can arrange ALL of your travel necessities, we can start off with booking your transportation to arrive in Florence, we can book your hotel room, choosing from a selected gay friendly list of facilities,or we can rent you an apartment in the historical centre of the city, or a villa in the countryside.
