From Dubrovnik to Split Traveller Reviews

Fabulous tour guide and traveling companions. Sailing and touring on the mainland and the islands. The boat was delightful, the food superb ( I don't know how the cook did it with only a small kitchen), and the amount of free time vs. touring time was perfect.

Peter Sommer

This week-long cruise was delightful, from the urban splendors of Dubrovniok and Split, to the pastoral beauty of the off-shore islands along the coast. The accommodations onboard were most comfortable, and the foods and wines were delicious.

Mislav was very knowledgeable, and his informative and often witty commentaries on the sites we visited added greatly to our enjoyment of the trip.

The Peter Sommer cruise was a delightful week of historical tourism, bright conversation, and lovely food and wine set in the splendor of the major Croatian islands with day excursions to the incredible cities of Dubrovnik and Split. Our guide Mislav was top notch. We stopped at interesting sites including salt mining, oyster fishing, a great winery, an olive oil producer, and a sculpting school as well as churches, museums, historic buildings, Adriatic swims, and belle viste. Mislav gave a sense of Croatia thru the ages, from Illyrians to Romans to early Slavs to modern Croats. He loved challenging questions, and wow, he was great with answers. It was an enchanting and fun week during my wife's and my Balkan vacation spent with our close friends and interesting voyagers. Enjoy!

See above. Mislav was the best!

Terrific boat and an even more terrific and thoughtful crew looked after us professionally from the start to finish of our holiday afloat.

Good operator very ably supported by Robert Bralic, the local agent in Split.

Another wonderful Peter Sommer Adventure, my fourth. Filip, our professor and guide is an encyclopedia of knowledge and loves sharing the information. Traveling by gulet is a wonderful way to visit different towns in Croatia. The Crew, Mareno, Joseph and our chef made it an exceptional tour.

Peter Sommer Travels has been a five star experience for me. The small groups, the excellence of of the professional guides, the accommodations on land and sea and the easy accessibility in arranging a tour have all been positive experiences with Peter Sommer.

First time on a Gulet for us! The Gulet was beautiful and very comfortable. The crew was amazing. Philippe our guide was generous with him time and rapidly became part of the group (with whom we are still in contact). Philippe explained so much about the area — so very interesting. Food on the boat was amazing — and the crew took pains to ensure that all dietary needs were met! Wholeheartedly recommend this trip for any first time sailors!

So polite, and helpful. We had to rebook because of the pandemic. Peter Sommer and his assistant were available, accommodating and reasonable at all times. Highly recommend

Well designed, great food, great staff, fun group to travel with, stimulating tours, great tour guide.

Personable, extremely well qualified, proud of his heritage

This was an absolutely fabulous way to see the best of the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia! Stunning views of the beautiful islands on a gulet made for such a unique experience. This was the perfect mix of leisure, history, wonderful food, cultural experiences all coordinated by a brilliant guide. This was an unforgettable journey that made me want to return for more Croatian adventures!

This was our first tour with Peter Sommers travel, and we did not know anyone directly with prior experience. But booking was easy, questions were answered, and all the logistics of the trip went smoothly. We received an abundance of information regarding the itinerary and many helpful hints prior to our travel. Everything about the trip was as described online.

We had a wonderful time aboard the gulet "Croatia" with our party of three, six fellow voyagers and our fabulous guide, Filip. The experience was breathtaking and the weather perfect (although we were told cooler than typical, perfect for us). Cruising, exploring the islands, watersports, dining aboard and just laying about and sunning on the foredeck or curling up with a book at the stern was healing and renewing. We enjoyed the sites and learned much of the incredible history of the eastern Adriatic - a place worthy of more than one visit from us, which it will definitely have in the future!

Peter Sommer Travels is really about Peter Sommer. He has curated all of the trips that his company organizes and is passionate about hiring the right vessels and guides. But more than that, this period of the great COVID pandemic has tested every business, and none more so than those in the travel industry. We had originally booked our trip two years before we actually went on it. And when the pandemic stood in our way, Peter and Julie kept in regular contact, honored all the financial arrangements, dealt with necessary changes smoothly and - ultimately - saw us off on a wonderful holiday when the world reopened. This period was indeed a test - and Peter Sommer Travel passed with flying colors and then some. They are honorable, first-rate people who take a genuine interest in their product and their clients. We recommend them to all without reservation.

Dalmatian Coast tour on a gulet. Outstanding guide, great food and crew. Highly recommended.

Excellent preparatory material, organisation, itinerary, staff and vessel.
