Reviews of Exploring Crete










Wowed in Crete!
Our guides were extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the tour and made sure that each of us had an amazing experience to see, feel, understand and taste the wonders of Crete over many millennia! We learned so much about past, current and possible future archaeological discoveries and rethinking! Looking forward to another trip with Peter Sommer Travels!

Peter Sommer Travels was an excellent choice for our trip to Crete! Knowledgeable and passionate guides! We felt informed and cared for from the planning stage (including a wonderful pre trip to Athens) all the way through to the end of the trip!

Peter Sommer Travels





Exploring Crete
The Exploring Crete tour was absolutely fantastic. Our guides, Paul and Maria, made every place we visited so interesting and enjoyable.. From ancient ruins to a quiet village to fantastic restaurants serving local cuisine to great accomodations - our trip was perfectly planned. Even our bus driver was amazing. If you’re looking for a tour that’s educational, fun, and full of unforgettable experiences, this is the one!

We've been on several Peter Sommer tours and they have all been wonderful.





Exploring Crete
A great holiday full of fascinating stories and history about the island provided by two excellent and knowledgeable guides. It was well organized and well executed with the guides able and willing to smooth out any glitches or take advantage of any unexpected opportunities that arose. And just when we had had enough of history or sightseeing, great food and drink would appear!

Sommers travel was well organized, reasonably priced and easy to communicate with.





Crete in depth
We covered the whole of Crete with 2 excellent knowledgeable guides. Archeology was the main focus, but every day we were out to lunch and dinner with a great variety of dishes.. I have sailed in the Greek islands for many years but the Cretan food was a revelation.

Exploring Crete: Archeology, Nature & Food
The tour is an excellent survey of Crete's Minoan era, landscape, primary cities, historical sites, and Cretan food. Very highly recommended.

My Exploring Crete tour of October 2024 was excellent...in fact, the tour was my seventh with PST. The tour guides, Maria and Paul, were totally dedicated to ensuring each traveller was accommodated and satisfied. The tour itinerary provided a much desired familiarity of the Minoan era with stops and engaging discussion on the importance and uniqueness of each site visited.





Exploring Crete
We spent a wonderful 2 weeks with Maria and Paul exploring historic sites in Crete. Our guides were well informed, enthusiastic and made the history come alive. The food and accommodation were exceptional.

Well planned and everything went smoothly.





Top notch scholars, great food and history
Not only did we have excellent scholars on this archaeology themed tour, they united on developing a narrative that gave the big picture and better understanding to what we were seeing. We also enjoyed sampling an extensive variety of great local food.

In general, the tour operators were verry good, but there was a time interval before the trip when communication was more difficult.

Our Tour Operator was Peter Sommer Travel. There was plenty of helpful communication before the trip. Our guides for the trip were among the most highly qualified we have ever had. They were excellent guides. The tour manager kept everything moving smoothly. The restaurants chosen by the Tour Operator with input from the tour manager were terrific. The accommodations met expectations from many previous tours with similar Tour Operators. Overall, we were very please.





Fascinating archeology and history of Crete
Sites and museums the length and breadth of Crete gave us a thorough insight into the history and archeology of this fascinating island. Including some of the stories of the archaeologists who made the discoveries added a further level of interest.
