We had talked about visiting the Amalfi cost for more than 30 years without getting around to it. This trip disk jot disappoint as a brilliant way of seeing the area and getting to understand the historical context. Really excellent organisation throughout. Boat was very comfortable with fabulous crew who really went the extra mile to make sure everything went well. The sites were breathtaking and exceeded my expectations, especially with the excellent information and context provided by the guides. To top it all our fellow travellers were such good company. Now just to plan another trip!

Cruising the Amalfi Coast--Peter Sommer Travels

This small group (ten persons) tour explored the Amalfi coast in Italy by gullet boat. For one week we sailed the Amalfi coast, visiting the archaeological museum in Naples, exploring the ruins of Pompeii and various islands (Ischia, Capri, etc.) and sites along the coast. Although we had visited the area before, the full-day exploration of Pompeii was beyond anything we had experienced previously. With expert guides , great food and beautiful ...

With expert guides , great food and beautiful terrain, this trip was perfect. I recommend it to all!

We have travelled on four Peter Sommer Travels tours. Each has been special. It's hard to describe just how wonderful and knowledgeable all the expert guides have been and to travel by gullet has been magical. The tours have all been exactly as described and have been executed to perfection. These are special tours with well-travelled guests, great food and personable, expert guides. Peter Sommer Travels produces great tours! There are no better trips out there.

All good.

One week with 4 other couples who we did not know, and a smart guy to show us around. We all got along so very well. we actually almost sailed for a few hours. The main sail and main boom had been removed from the boat leaving just the rolling headsail and mid stay-sail. Still sailing.

Cruising the Amalfi Coast by Peter Sommer Travels (Sep 2018)

Cruising the Amalfi coast on a gulet with a very enjoyable and engaging group of new friends has a tremendous experience of which I speak frequently. Peter Sommer Travels guides offer a wonderful mix of great personalities, unique experiences and knowledge of the areas and sights, and are attentive to each guest's needs.

An operator without peer! Unmatched attention to comfort, access and guiding at tour sites of varied and noteworthy historical and archeological significance by exceptionally qualified and personable guides, the comfort and convenience of gulet travel---such a wonderful mix.

Fun and engaging conversations with fellow gulet cruisers. Highly, highly recommended!

Peter Sommer Travels tours are exceptionally well organized with individual attention to every guest, and trip detail. This is my fourth Sommer Travels tour and all have been most enjoyable, intellectually stimulating, and organized around areas and sites of tremendous interest. Sommer Travels offers an ever broadening mix of cultural tours, gulet cruises and private trips—with each trip led by expert guides, archeologists and historians well steeped in the travel area and sights. Every guest is treated as a long-time friend in a first class manner!

Excellent cruise of the Amalfi Coast with Peter Sommer Travels

Spent one week on a small (gulet) cruise of the Amalfi Coast with Peter Sommer Travels. We visited Capri, Amalfi, and Positano, among other other magnificent locations with time to visit archeological sites and to swim. Our guides were trained not only in archeology but also art history and classical literature, enriching greatly what we saw. And, did I mention the great food? All in all, a trip that made memories for a lifetime.

Peter Sommer Travels works very hard to build a well organized trip that is intellectually stimulating and thoroughly enjoyable. The picture uploaded is a magnificent fresco from the Villa of the Mysteries on the outskirts of Pompei. It illustrates the type of places off the beaten path that Peter Sommer Travels is so good at finding.

Best Vacation Ever

My wife and I were due for a great vacation and after much consideration decided on a September gulet cruise along the Amalfi Coast in 2017 with Peter Sommer Travels. It was an inspired decision as it was the best vacation ever! The Deriya Deniz is a lovely gulet and our crew did everything possible to make the trip a relaxing, unique time at sea.

My wife and I were due for a great vacation and after much consideration decided on a September gulet cruise along the Amalfi Coast in 2017 with Peter Sommer Travels. It was an inspired decision as it was the best vacation ever! The Deriya Deniz is a lovely gulet and our crew did everything possible to make the trip a relaxing, unique time at sea. We will never forget our captain who was all things Italiano as well as experienced and personable. Our chef created one wonderful meal after another. Our guides, Sophie and Francesca, made our experience educational, authentic, and always enjoyable even when weather didn't cooperate. Peter Sommer was right about this being the ideal way to experience the Amalfi Coast and the islands of Ischia and Capri. Ours was an unforgettable vacation and opportunity to make new friends from the US and Europe. The memories are vivid and unique. We will definitely travel with Peter Sommer Travels again, and look forward to more experiences like this one. Thanks to all who worked so hard to make our Italy vacation absolutely perfect.

Rating for tour operator:

Peter Sommer Travels is experienced in gulet cruises and offers a unique easy way to travel abroad. His staff is knowledgable, personable, and hard-working. It was easy to arrange for all aspects of our vacation with their assistance. We highly recommend this tour to new and seasoned travelers.

Cruising the Amalfi Coast

We highly recommend this experience as it was perfect in every way. Having been to Italy several times, seeing it from the sea was absolutely delightful. We enjoyed our knowledgable guides, Sophie and Francesca, the ship's crew, every meal and each day trip. The Mediterranean is the place to be in our view, not to mention the islands across from the peninsula. For relaxation, points of interest, and good company Peter Sommer travels can't be beat...

Sophie is experienced, personable and became a friend while touring the Amalfi Coast. She and Francesca were better than any history teacher I had in high school or college. I learned something this time.

Amalfi Coast cruising on a gulet

We sailed out of Napoli on a beautiful gulet that had a captain, first mate, housekeeper/barmaid, chef and archeologist. All for six cabins! Very reasonably priced for what was offered. Every day was well planned and well suited for the group. We enjoyed relaxing on the boat while sailing but also enjoyed visiting the different towns on the islands and up the coast.

Every day was well planned and well suited for the group. We enjoyed relaxing on the boat while sailing but also enjoyed visiting the different towns on the islands and up the coast. It was wonderful having our own onboard guide/archeologist that was always there for us. Plus our local guide who met us in various towns or historic sites was always on time and very friendly and informative. Honestly, this was one of the very best one week trips we have ever taken.

Rating for tour operator:

Boat was immaculate. All of the staff were professional and very nice. Onboard archeologist was very organized and always there for us if we had any questions. We always felt safe, well taken care of with a very friendly attitude from crew while they showed us a great time, both fun and educational. Second time cruising with Peter Sommers and we will definitely do it again.
