Outside The Square

Outside the Square’s vision is of travel adventures shared with others who crave the kinds of holidays not offered by larger commercial operators. Great value is our mission! OTS has negotiated excellent group rates direct with hotels. We generally travel at non-peak times, and stay in locally owned hotels. This has enabled escorted trips for small groups of 6-10 at prices you won’t see elsewhere for the same quality of accommodation. We also tend to stay in places longer (on average 2-3 nights at each hotel), leaving you time to explore your own interests, at your own pace. If you generally gravitate towards structured tours with a detailed itemized itinerary, and need to know all your hotels in advance, then our trips might not be right for you. If you are a more of an independent traveller, love going for the adventure and tired of solo trips, then you will love our concept.

Outside the Square offers Gay travellers the following:

travel with like-minded people.
different overseas adventure trips each year.
quirky smaller local hotels located right in the centre of the attractions.
sharing the day’s experiences with fellow travellers and enjoying interesting company over dinner.
having more freedom to explore than a more structured tour would allow.
sharing ”value plus” holidays over, expensive resorts and packages.
a more flexible travel experience rather than a rigid, min by min itinerary.

​
You will need to “let go” of the concept you’re signing up for an “off the shelf” tour, you’re not, you’re joining us on an adventure. Yes, it’s a semi-structured adventure with the hard work done, but it is nevertheless an adventure. Things will go wrong some days, and changes will need to be taken in your stride. You will need to have your wits about you in some of the countries we visit, and occasionally expect to do some exploring on your own. As our introduction says: “Travel adventures for the almost independent traveller”
