Peter Sommer Travels Traveller Reviews

This tour exceeded our expectations in every way. The guides and crew were excellent, the boat was beautiful, comfortable and a great way to travel, the food was to die for and the ancient sites that we visited and often had nearly to ourselves were fascinating. We will definitely go with Peter Sommer Travels again in the future.

From the moment I first contacted Peter Sommer travel to inquire about this tour, until they were dropping us off at the airport when it was over, they operated in a friendly and highly professional manner. They have thought of all of the details that make a trip like this that has numerous moving parts, seamless. This allowed us to relax and really enjoy ourselves. We understand now why Peter Sommer Travel is as highly rated as they are. They execute at a very high level, with enthusiasm and flexibility.

We enjoyed a Peter Sommers cruise on a gullett from Bodrum. It was an epic experience, where we cruised to different locations along the Aegean Sea and swam, visited ancient ruins, ate amazing food, and learned so much about Turkey and the history of the area.

The best of the best, seems to me. Peter Sommers and Cem and the whole crew of the boat, all were professional, kind, talented, skilled and tireless.

Finding enough superlative words to describe the Walking and Cruising the Carian Way tour is a challenge. This tour was a fantastic experience and perfect blend of sightseeing, education, relaxation, fabulous food and an immersion into Turkish culture and history. Tour organization and planning was flawless. The Gulet is beautiful and comfortable, the crew lovely and Peter Sommer and Çem Yücesoy, the tour guides, are exceptionally knowledgeable, gracious, congenial and welcoming. I felt the trip surpassed the descriptions in the marketing materials and was one of the most positive travel experiences I’ve had in recent years.

what a great week full of history, packed with interesting insights and wild nature. the guide and his local companion were ever helpful and always available. the gullet was a real holiday experience, the crew very hospitable, the food fresh and local.

Peter is a passionate and very knowledgable tourguide, he brought history to life. The organsiation of the trip was impecable, before and during it all.

Discovering hidden lost villages of ancient times under the passionate guidance of Peter Sommer and his partner Gem has been a wonderful experience. Walking in remote areas. trying to visualize life 2500 years ago made this trip very enjoyable. The accommodation and the food on the beautiful Gullet was extraordinary. I can only recommend this trip and I will certainly join Peter Sommer for other adventure.

The organisation of the trip was spotless. From the first contact we felt very welcome and received a lot of valuable upfront information. Transfers, accommodation and food were perfect. A very special small group tour.

Previously, we were very sceptical about guided tours, but with Peter Sommer Travels (PST) we were very satisfied. They use guides who are experts in their respected fields and the areas we were visiting. They also have a local guide from the country we were visiting. Knowledge however, is one thing, but PST guides also have the ability to put that information over in a way for people to understand. Having studied archaeology at university, I knew a lot about ancient sites. The guides, in this case Peter Sommer himself, bought these sites to life in a way I had never been taught. Walking and Cruising the Carian Coast was a wonderful experience. It bought together my love of boats and the sea, walking through lovely landscapes and visiting ancient places. It was also lovely meeting like minded people from across the world. PST take small groups and you get to know everyone, which enhanced our experience even further. We are now planning our next PST holiday

This was our fourth expedition with Peter Sommer Travels and it lived up to their reputation and our expectations. This trip and all the previous ones were well organised, from picking us up at the airport to dropping us back again. The accommodation and food, either in hotels or on gulets, was excellent and all of our needs were catered for.

We traveled on the Carian coast in a gulet, which we have never done before. It was truly a great experience. Our two guides: one was an archaeologist, and the other was his best friend who organized a great part of our conveniences, were both terrific. The food was phenomenal. Accommodations were perfect for our needs. We greatly enjoyed all the experiences. We have created some new friendships, which is wonderful.

Wonderful

We had a fantastic time with Peter Sommer Tours crusing down the Turkish coast on a gulet with daily walks to amazing sites. We were able to relax on the gulet (boat), take great walks along the coast and even swim occassionally (but it was still a bit chilly in the water). One of the best holidays we have had as it combined our love of history, hiking and meeting a small group of new people.

Peter and his team really bring the ancient civilisations alive through exploring sites and telling us about the history of each. They are also introduced us to a number of locals who provided great hospitality. The gulet and crew were amazing. A beautiful boat, reasonably spacious cabin and ensuite and outstanding meals. Communication with Peter Sommer Travels leading up to the holiday was excellent.

A 12 day adventure across Crete, visiting many ancient sites and sampling the fantastic Cretian cuisine. We would never have seen the island this way on our own.

This was our third tour with Peter Sommer Travels -- they are the best...
