Exploring the Peloponnese Traveller Reviews

We joined Peter Sommer's "Exploring the Peloponnese" tour in May 2017 - partly to become better informed about the rich history of the area, and partly to try out Peter Sommer Travels. Starting from Athens, we enjoyed a two-week tour that featured historical sites ranging from neolithic to recent times. Personally, we most enjoyed the broad expertise of our guides as we walked through the sites of Greek antiquity. We rose early, ate well, travelled comfortably and drank in historical sites and details every day. This is a tour for intelligent, fairly active travellers who want to learn, not just to see. We will definitely seek out Peter Sommer Travels for future adventures.

We were very impressed with the organisation and execution of the tour. Our guides were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Scheduling was expertly managed throughout the trip. Accommodations and food were of the very best available. This was our first trip with Peter Sommer Travels. It certainly will not be the last - in fact, we will be looking through Peter's offerings very carefully to choose our next adventure.

Two weeks of excellent archaeology, beautiful scenery and amazing food. We spent a full two weeks in the Peloponnese, visiting not only the well known archaeological sites (Mycenae, Corinth, Tiryns, Epidauros, Olympia, Bassae, Pylos, Messene etc) but also more remote and beautiful places such as the Mani peninsular, mountainous Dimitsana and Monemvasia. Everywhere we had great local food - sausages with orange in the Mani, wild boar in Dimitsana, suckling pig in Mavromati, seafood all over!

Peter Sommer Travels is a small operator offering tours to several Mediterranean countries; I have used them many times (13 so far) and never been disappointed.

We had an amazing tour of the Pelopponese with a fabulous itinerary and super knowledgeable and fun expert guides. This is our second Peter Sommers tour and we will definitely sign up for more. Highly recommended!

Peter Sommers is the best tour operator for people who want a small group experience and expert guides.

We travelled the Peloponnese peninsula visiting many interesting sites sucha as Olimpia, Micenea, Messenia. We enjoyed the local food and had tastings of local wines.At each site the guides would start with a general introduction and then we went around the place doing detailed viewing of interesting items.

Peter Sommer has top archeologists as guides and local archelogists as fixers. This combination allows for good understanding of the sites visited and close contact with local costumes.
