From Split to Dubrovnik Traveller Reviews

We had a superb trip with excellent guides and crew and a very comfortable gulet. The tours were very informative and well planned-the food and wines were very good-especially the seafood-the country is gorgeous. The only negative was that the week was too short.

We have been following Peter Sommer travels since the mid 1990s and this was our fist opportunity to take one of his tours. It was fabulous and certainly lived up to our expectations-we would definitely highly recommend his company

I have wanted to visit Croatia for many years, and finally got my wish. Cruising in a gulet along the coast is my idea of heaven. The group size was perfect: 10, and the crew was fantastic (both of them). We got to try out two gulets, because there were engine problems with the first one.Both crews were great in the way in which they handled the problem and the transition. There was enough food to feed 20 guests, the local guides were terrific and the archeologist could have taught a course on the Greek and Roman civilizations, given more time. As for the Croatian people, they were incredibly welcoming and so pleased that we all appreciated the beauty of their country. I really felt that the only problem was not enough time. There was so much to see and learn that I wished we had more days in Dubrovnik in the beginning and Split at the end.

Peter Sommer Travels was the tour operator. Communication was timely and efficient despite the time difference between the U.K. and the U.S.A., thanks to Julie, the operations manager. Pick-ups and drop-offs were well coordinated. The itinerary was interesting and well planned. I would certainly recommend Peter Sommer Travels to my friends and family.

It was a gulet tour of the Dalmatian Coast and Islands with a historian and local guide. Although this was Peter Sommer's inaugural tour of this area it was well planned and our every need taken care of. There was a perfect mix of cultural visits and information with time for relaxation, walking and swimming. The historian and guides catered for all levels of previous knowledge and we learnt so much in an entertaining way. In addition the crew were very attentive and a mine of local information.

Very experienced in historical tours and I'm sure this holiday's success depended on that experience. Plenty of useful information ahead of time and a straightforward booking process.

My husband and I, along with four other couples, cruised the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia for eight days on a lovely gulet. Our cruise was arranged by Peter Sommer Tours. It was a marvelous holiday; gorgeous surroundings, good food, great wines and lots of fascinating history. Our ship's crew could not have been better. They were always looking out for our enjoyment and well being. We still marvel at the wonderful meals that came our of the small galley. Our tour guides were knowledgable, well organized and efficient. They were able to maximize our land tour experiences while also allowing for personal time and interests. We would travel with Peter Sommer Tours again.

Our tour operator was great from beginning to end. Prior to our trip, they provided us with all the necessary information needed and answered our questions. The tour operator was in contact with our group daily during the trip to make sure that all was well. After we arrived home, we were contacted by them to inquire about our experience.

Good food, excellent guides, fascinating history, gorgeous coastline,. Weather could have been a lot better but that was nobody's fault.

Well organized. Responsive.

We don't like crowds, impersonalization, or rushing. We DO like knowledgeable, personal service, great food and learning and seeing new things. Our gulet cruise to Croatia was all that and more. We would highly recommend any Peter Sommer Tour.

Everything was smooth

I learned so much from our guides. Helena, the archeologist, brought history alive for us. Goren and Nievus were also excellent guides who were very knowledgeable and accommodating to all of our needs.What impressed me the most, was the fact that when our boat had a mechanical problem, we had a replacement boat and crew the next morning! The crew on both boats was very nice and professional. The food was fabulous and I loved that we had several meals outside of the boat so we could experience local foods. My husband hurt his foot and Goren promptly got some bandages etc. for him and accompanied him to see the doctor.

I had excellent communication with the Peter Sommers agency. I was given literature that explained the boat and what was going to occur during the week.

This was our fourth Peter Sommer holiday (we just have to keep coming back) and this one certainly did not disappoint. The combination of beautiful scenery, history, culture, good food and good company were impossible to resist. Our guide, captain and crew could not have done more. We'll definitely be back.

Peter Sommer Travels are a specialist company. Friendly and immensely knowledgeable; they organise trips of small numbers of people to places of historical interest. The gulet based trips offer guests a chance to learn, as well as to relax and swim and enjoy good food. Every detail is taken care of and so it is a real holiday.

A wonderful trip. Everything was perfect: the boat; the itinerary; the food; local historical guides and our Archaeology Guide Helena Tomas introduced us all to the Greek and Roman heritage of Croatia that is her passion.

Every detail Peter Sommer Travels arranged on the tour was done perfectly.
