The OutWest pre-tour in Rome offers walking tours to the major sites, a four-star hotel in the city center, all breakfasts and dinners, and a 1st class rail ticket to Tuscany, and the start of the bike tour.

FULL ITINERARY:

DAY ONE. WELCOME TO ROME!

From Fiumicino International Airport, the easiest and most economical way into the city is the train from the airport to the central station. From there it is a short cab ride to the Hotel Eliseo.

Generally, flights from North America are overnight, departing the US the evening before and arriving in Rome in the morning. Depending on your arrival time, you should have some time to get settled in the hotel and do some walking around the city. The welcome reception and dinner is that evening.

Accommodations: Hotel Eliseo

DAY TWO. WALKING TOUR OF ROME.

This is a day of sightseeing with a local tour guide. As we wander the street, you’ll run across famous sites like the Spanish steps, Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, and St. Peter’s Basilica. At the Trevi Fountain you’ll want to throw a coin to insure you’ll return to Rome. The Colosseum, dating back to ancient Roman 72 AD, may be a highlight. We’ll enjoy a true Italian meal that evening with some optional gay nightlife.

Accommodations: Hotel Eliseo

DAY THREE. CONTINUE TO TUSCANY.

The morning is free for sightseeing on your own. You may want to visit the Vatican or return to some of the sites from the previous day. In the early afternoon, we’ll transfer to the Rome train station for our rail trip to Tuscany. When we arrive in Chiusi, we’ll transfer to Montepulciano, where we’ll join up with the rest of the group.
