Reviews of Peter Sommer Travels










Exploring the history, art and culture of ancient Sicily.
The holiday was a very stimulating exploration of the many ancient sites on Sicily, together with deep and at times, dramatic explanation of the peoples who lived and died and shaped Sicily’s ancient landscape. This, together with the fine food, wine and accommodation and the endless enthusiasm of our guides made for a holiday which will give me memories to enjoy for years to come.

The documentation and information was clear and informative, the arrangements were faultless and everything was supplied to a high standard. Nothing was too much trouble.





Exploring Sicily with Peter Sommer April 2024
Yet another outstanding trip with Peter Sommer . Exploring Sicily was a wonderfully sculpted tour with an amazing guide Professor Olivier Henry . The tour not only took us to the most interesting sites of Sicily but brought the history we were viewing to life . In addition to fantastic food, wine paring meals and lovely accommodations. Peter Sommer truly takes care of their guests .

the consumate professional in tours. amazing hospitality with fascinating trip itinerary and excellent crew and guides.





Cruising the Dalmatian Coast: from Dubrovnik to Split
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.

Touring Greece in sickness and in health...
My husband and I took a wonderful tour of the Peloponnesian peninsula in October of 2023. Every aspect of the tour was well done - the itinerary, the choice of archaeological and historical sites, the amazingly knowledgeable guides, the accommodation, the delicious food, and the plentiful wine. We also found our fellow tour members to be very well-traveled, with interesting stories of their own. We could not have asked for a better experience!...

I had the misfortune to become ill about half way through the tour. The tour guides helped to arrange for a safe accommodation for my recuperation, convenient transportation to the accommodation, kept tabs on me during the entirety of the time I was away from the tour, and enabled me to rejoin the tour once I recovered. Afterwards, the tour operators were extremely helpful when I needed to submit documentation for my successful travel insurance claim for the missed portion of the tour. We subsequently enjoyed another terrific Peter Sommer tour, this time of Athens and environs, and have recently signed up for our third tour with them.





Extraordinary Experience in the Peloponnese
Two-week tour with Peter Sommer Travels of the Peloponnese region of Greece, with an emphasis on historical, archeological and artistically significant sites. Plus excellent tour guides, great food and wine, and congenial travel companions.

Peter Sommer Travels: Cruising the Dalmatian Coast from Dubrovnik to Split
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.





Best week ever
We loved the entire trip. The gulet and crew, the shore visits to farms and wineries and restaurants and the salt pans and the cooking school and swimming off the boat morning and evening, and most especially our guide Mislav.

Cruising The Dalmatian Coast: From Dubrovnik To Split was a wonderful adventure
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.

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!
