Reviews of Peter Sommer Travels










A glorious trip!
This was our second Peter Sommer tour, and it was as satisfying as the first (to the Cyclades). Having Greek history and culture brought alive as we stood on seaside castle walls and among windswept hilltop ruins was truly memorable. The colorful, carefully selected accommodations and restaurants enhanced the trip, as did the amazing and varied landscape and lovely towns. Our guides were extremely knowledgeable and articulate.

Peter Sommer Travel is superb. They are thoroughly prefessional, take care of every detail, respond to individual needs and preferences, and overall provide a superior travel experience.





Exploring The Peloponnese
I share my husband’s view of this trip. He posted: Fantastic all-inclusive tour of the Peloponnese. Tour guides Michael and Nota are experts in their fields and shared so much knowledge of the region in a manner that could be absorbed. Attention to detail amazing. It's hard to pick out a highlight as all the sites and meals were highlights. I spoke with Peter Sommer when I was evaluating his company for our trip. He took the time to explain ...

His staff was also on top of all arrangements. We also relied on ATTO reviews. As the trip approached the staff provided relevant information. There were no glitches from arrival to departure.

Peter Sommer and staff were very responsive to our questions. They run a perfect trip!





Cruising Western Lycea on a Gullet.
This trip was our on "bucket list" since we visited Turkey for the first time 40 years ago. This was a week long gullet trip complete with an archeologist from Cambridge University to teach us the history of the sites we traveled to. We feel so fortunate that we were able to do it: the perfect mix of history, exercise, relaxation, and amazing Turkish food. We highly recommend any trip with Peter Sommer Travels.

An Experience to Treasure
Our Peloponnese trip in October 2024 was a brilliant expedition and truly a tour for connoisseurs. The organisation was seamless and our group proved to be well-travelled, super fun and energised. Our two guides, Michael and Nota, were so enthusiastic and their animated narrative put the Peloponnese in thrilling historical and cultural perspective. They brought Classical history to life and placed us ‘in the moment.’ At no stage did we ever ...
Our Peloponnese trip in October 2024 was a brilliant expedition and truly a tour for connoisseurs. The organisation was seamless and our group proved to be well-travelled, super fun and energised. Our two guides, Michael and Nota, were so enthusiastic and their animated narrative put the Peloponnese in thrilling historical and cultural perspective. They brought Classical history to life and placed us ‘in the moment.’ At no stage did we ever feel like lumpen tourists being led around by the nose: in fact, as a group we were participating in history and, literally, reenacting combat tactics as fierce Spartan hoplites! The food everywhere was outstanding, delicious and extremely healthy. We can’t recommend Peter Sommer’s tours too highly.

Walking Western Lycia
Great trip enhanced by our expert guide Richard Bayliss, his knowledge of the subject and his ability to share that knowledge were exceptional. I would highly recommend this trip

Well run and organized trip





Walking and cruising the Lycian shore
Well-chosen walks in a wonderful location. Great opportunities for swimming. Delicious food both on-board and in carefully chosen family restaurants. A relaxing and stimulating holiday. The gullet was beautiful, with a very professional and helpful crew.

Wonderful exploration of the Pelepponese for a fortnight
Travelled by good coach usually alternating 1 then 2 nights in any given location. Very well researched and delivered activities. Excellent food and guides. a group able to gel but individuals able to do their own thing too.

Absolutely superb
We cruised and walked Turkey’s Lycean Shore with Peter Sommer Travel. It was an extremely well organised tour, led by Peter Sommer whose knowledge of the region, its history and archaeology is absolutely superb. In addition, the gullet crew were great and the food was a real treat - including varied on-board fare and excellent lunches in small restaurants and families on the walks, very special.
