mislof was a wonderful and knowledgeable your man who connected with all of us daily. We had some weather that changed our plans and Mislof made it seem less and took care of everything.

A great way to absorb Croatian history and see the Dalmatian coast.

For my wife and myself, this was the second of two week-long back-to-back cruises along the Dalmatian coast with Peter Sommer Travel, this one from Split to Dubrovnik. The same high levels of educational richness and quality of on-board experience that we enjoyed on our first week continued right through the second week. Happily, we had the same wonderful cook who continued to amaze us with excellent meals, the same captain who kept us safely ...

For my wife and myself, this was the second of two week-long back-to-back cruises along the Dalmatian coast with Peter Sommer Travel, this one from Split to Dubrovnik. The same high levels of educational richness and quality of on-board experience that we enjoyed on our first week continued right through the second week. Happily, we had the same wonderful cook who continued to amaze us with excellent meals, the same captain who kept us safely afloat and on-time, and the wonderful first mate, Marino, who was not only good natured and thoroughly competent but could also made an amazing aperol spritz. Our guide for this leg of our trip was Mislav, a native Croatian with advanced degrees in archaeology. He was absolutely wonderful--energetic, extremely knowledgeable, funny. Like our guide for the previous week, Mislav communicated his own intellectual curiosity and his thorough knowledge of Croatian history without ever seeming pedantic. I failed to stump him with any question; he knew everything I wanted to learn more about. The trip was very rich in history, both ancient and modern, which was exactly what I wanted. It was also an exciting way to see the coast, a large number of islands and the natural beauty of the Dalmatian area. Swimming around the boat was fun, although the water was a little cooler than expected. Our cabin was beautiful and efficiently designed so that even though it was compact, we had everything we needed for a comfortable trip. This was a great, exciting adventure and I would repeat it in a heartbeat.

Rating for tour operator:

Everything about this trip was well organized and professionally run. It had a nice balance of visiting archaeological sites with a fun and exciting way to see the Dalmatian coast. Each day had a different mix of visiting sites, museums or cities with swimming from the boat, great food and time to relax and read or socialize. I felt that Peter Sommer had given a lot of thought to making the trip both educational and memorably fun.

Wonderful Cruise in Croatia

We cruised along the coast of Croatia, visiting interesting archaeological sites and touring some of the lovely cities along the way. The gulet was comfortable, and the crew was friendly and helpful. The guide was very knowledgeable. All the meals were unbelievably good, and swimming by the boat in the afternoons was delightul.

Rating for tour operator:

The voyage with Peter Sommer's was relaxing but also remarkable for the visits to key archaeological sites on the Dalmatia Islands. Mislav, our guide, had personal knowledge of the Islands and showed incredible enthusiasm for the history of the Islands. A fabulous excursion.

Nice blend of relaxation and sightseeing

Accommodations on the gulet Croatia were above my expectations. The gulet was very well maintained and looked beautiful. I was worried there wouldn't be comfortable places to sit, but I shouldn't have worried. There were 8 other guests and we had plenty of room to spread out. The back of the gulet has comfortable, cushioned seating with shade. My favorite times were when we were motoring for a few hours, it was very relaxing to sit in the ...

Accommodations on the gulet Croatia were above my expectations. The gulet was very well maintained and looked beautiful. I was worried there wouldn't be comfortable places to sit, but I shouldn't have worried. There were 8 other guests and we had plenty of room to spread out. The back of the gulet has comfortable, cushioned seating with shade. My favorite times were when we were motoring for a few hours, it was very relaxing to sit in the back and watch the other boats go by. The land excursions were very well planned and executed. Our guide was personable and very knowledgeable. The food and service on the gulet were excellent, our crew was terrific. Cabins were well appointed and the bathroom was bigger than I expected it would be. All in all, a wonderful vacation!

Peter Sommer Travels was excellent to work with. They answered every question I had before the trip (and I had quite a few!). They went the extra mile (or kilometer) to make sure my vacation went flawlessly. I really appreciated that they provided onboard COVID testing for those of us who needed to be tested before we could fly back to our home countries. That was a wonderful perk. I wouldn't hesitate to book another vacation with them.

We posted an average review of this cruise due the air conditioning not working. Peter contacted us directly several times apologising for the maintenance issue. He generously gave us a partial refund goodwill gesture on our cruise and assured us that this issue would not happen again. Therefore, since we enjoyed all other aspects of this trip, we revise our review to Excellent.

LIFE IS SHORT...make this trip with Peter Sommer Travels

Our group of six friends sailed on The Croatia gullet with Peter Sommer Travels. There were four other people on the boat who quickly became part of the gang. The crew was led by Captain Vladimir and our expert guide was Helena Tomas. The Croatia crew and Helena were wonderful. Helena is an expert on the history and archeology of the region. There were also local guides for our group at each location. The food was excellent and plentiful...

There were also local guides for our group at each location. The food was excellent and plentiful. Our cabin (number 3) was very comfortable. The Croatia is very spacious and comfortable with room for you to congregate with your group or have a space to yourself on deck. We were able to swim in the Adriatic every day...usually twice a day. We had perfect weather. Our itinerary was Split to Dubrovnik in June 2018. We talked so much about this trip that other friends of ours are going on this same adventure in June 2019. We would do the same trip again if we could, but we are expecting a new grand baby in June. A new grand baby is a once in a lifetime event for sure, but this trip ranks right up there.

Excellent tour, superb guide

This is my third trip with Peter Sommer, the tours never disappoint, the excellent standard of the guides, accommodation, food and general ambience of the boat and fellow passengers. Onshore excursions were of the highest standard.

Gulet cruise in Dalmatian coast

We joined a small number of travellers on a 30m gulet to explore the islands in the Dalmation coast for 1 week. An experienced and knowledgable guide provided good insight to the archeology and history of the region, while the crew and chef looked after us very well.

Peter Sommer operates small gulet based history and archeoligical orientated in the Eastern Mediterrain. We have been on three trios so far, Turkey, Greek islands and Dalmatian coast.
