"Q-ToQ
Tours join them for Tango in Argentina!urs" Specialty Tours to
Buenos Aires and Argentina.
Come to the fastest growing gay destination in the world
with the first San Francisco based GLBT tour group to offer unique trips
to Buenos Aires by and for the community.
Buenos Aires is a European city situated in the heart of
South America. Often compared to Paris, Buenos Aires is only now beginning
to be
discovered by travellers seeking an authentic cultural experience and
affordability.
Q-Tours is the personal vision of SF writer and filmmaker Kat Eiswald
(Feminale Films). In 2003, she went to Buenos Aires to explore the film,
music and dance scene. It was love at first sight. Over the past 2 years,
she has made many friends in the art world of Argentina, and has connected
very well with the Gay Buenos Aires community. Returning to SF in 2005,
she called her friend Burnie Gipson (Founder of Queer Ballroom home of
the Queer Jitterbugs) to collaborate on organizing a tour that is personal
and encourages authentic interaction with the culture, dance and bohemian
art scene. "Q-Tours" is the result of that idea.

General points about Buenos Aires:
In 2005, many tourists are beginning to discover the charm
and
sophistication of this city and the current affordability of its stylish
attractions.
*At the same time, the local Gay scene is coming out in force. The number
of venues, parties, events, and cultural artifacts (and celebrities) who
are
visably Gay is increasing so rapidly, there are new things to explore
every
week!
This along with the progressive civil laws protecting the rights of Gay
and
Lesbian people make Buenos Aires the place to visit in 2005.
Help make our first tour season a successful one, while participating
in THE
most intimate encounter with Buenos Aires Queer culture available anywhere.
