Peter Sommer Travels Traveller Reviews

This was our first time on an organized tour and it was far more than we expected. Everything was very well organized, not just logistically, but also in terms of explaining and visiting sites around an area with a long and complicated history. We learned so much! The hotels and bus were comfortable and the food was fabulous. We did not have a single mediocre meal. Very enjoyable. We are already considering another trip with this operator.

The tour guides Michael and Nota were so knowledgeable, explaining everything and telling stories about each site we visited. They were very personable and considerate of every participant and all our individual needs. Couldn't have asked for better guides to spend 2 weeks with.

Exploring Crete was described as an Archaeological, Gastronomic and Nature tour, It didn't disappoint in any aspect. The archaeological sites were spectacular, and the explanation from the guides was excellent. The food was plentiful and wonderful. It was also very healthy. Crete is very beautiful with dramatic scenery at ever

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.

A fourteen day coach tour of the best archaeological sites in this famous area of Greece. The tour was led by a very experienced archaeologist and a social historian who gave us detailed descriptions of the history of each site and its importance in Ancient Greece. The accommodation was excellent and the food amazing.

We have always found Peter Sommer Travel and their expert staff a pleasure to travel with. This explains why this tour of the Peloponnese was our eighth time with them in Greece, Turkey and Italy.

Cruising on a gulet in Turkey with an expert guide on board to lead you at the ancient sites visited, bringing their histoy and stories to life. Time to relax on board, to swim, snorkel, paddleboard, kyak or even float on a pink flamingo in the clear waters of the Aegean sea. Delicious meals prepared with fresh local ingredients, meals shared together around a table on the aft deck. This has to be the best way to visit these ancient sites, some well known, some not so, all remarkable.

Very well organised, great attention to detail ensuring the enjoyement of all of the group.

A stimulating tour through some of Greece's most famous, beautiful sights. Learned much, but also greatly enjoyed the collegial approach of the operators, who gladly took questions, provided detailed answers to many questions. Add to that the incredible food and lodging. A tour for the ancient history enthusiast!

Both were supremely expert and engaging.

Hours of cruising along the turquoise coast of Turkey interspersed with guided tours of unforgettable archeological sites. The highlight was Ephesus but others along the way were important in their own right. Our expert guides contributed a wealth of knowledge and personal insights.

Peter Sommer Travels provides a 5 star experience. My travel companions were experienced travelers and shared my interest in learning about ancient history and culture. Our guides exceeded our expectations.

We were 6 girlfriends who sat sail on a 'Peter Sommers Travel' gullet trip on the 2nd June 2024 from Bodrum, Turkey. A wonderful voyage following the Bodrum peninsula with stops at ancient sites to learn about the powerful history going back thousands of years. What made it absolutely perfect was Peter Sommer's talks about the sites we visited, he really made history come alive. Plus that in between we could swim and sunbathe - a perfect combination!

Very organised, professional and accommodating. The knowledge from both our guides and their helpfulness made it one of my best holidays.

Informative, relaxing and excellent boat, crew, food and wine.

Knowledgeable, engaging and hospitable. Gulet was spacious, crew were very attentive. Food exceptional and wines superb.

We had a great trip with Peter Sommer to the Lycian shore of Turkey. Guides were great as well as the food and the accommodations.

Very well organized from starting our booking with the office to the final transfer of our trip.

This was a wonderfully relaxing and very educational walking tour along the Aegean Coast of Turkey. The use of the Gulet boats for overnight accommodations ensures a fantastic and memorable archeological trip.

Peter Sommer travels has a great team and deserves top marks for providing a well designed tour of the Lycean Way. The guides are highly knowledgeable and personable, ensuring that every day was an enjoyable, educational and relaxing experience.
