Cruising the Amalfi Coast by Gary, 26 Sep 2019

Cruising the Amalfi Coast--Peter Sommer Travels

This small group (ten persons) tour explored the Amalfi coast in Italy by gullet boat. For one week we sailed the Amalfi coast, visiting the archaeological museum in Naples, exploring the ruins of Pompeii and various islands (Ischia, Capri, etc.) and sites along the coast. Although we had visited the area before, the full-day exploration of Pompeii was beyond anything we had experienced previously. With expert guides , great food and beautiful ...

With expert guides , great food and beautiful terrain, this trip was perfect. I recommend it to all!

We have travelled on four Peter Sommer Travels tours. Each has been special. It's hard to describe just how wonderful and knowledgeable all the expert guides have been and to travel by gullet has been magical. The tours have all been exactly as described and have been executed to perfection. These are special tours with well-travelled guests, great food and personable, expert guides. Peter Sommer Travels produces great tours! There are no better trips out there.

Superb in every respect

Our 5th gulet trip in the Mediterranean with Peter Sommer Travels. Fascinating archaeology, great acccommodation, beautiful Turkish food and wine, fabulous swimming in secluded coves, all with a small group of like minded people, two excellent, helpful guides, a beautiful boat crewed by a friendly professional group of young Turks. What more can you ask for for the perfect holiday? The whole experience from booking to drop off at the airport ...

Perfect holiday for mind, body and soul.

We spent two weeks on a gulet, exploring the Lycian coast, mainly archaeological sites, in Turkey. It was the perfect combination of relaxation, learning. We swam off the boat, visited ancient sites and villages and enjoyed some very good food. Our guides were excellent, as were the crew of the boat. There were no crowds and we enjoyed the company of the other guests. We had never been on any other type of organised tour before our first ...

We spent two weeks on a gulet, exploring the Lycian coast, mainly archaeological sites, in Turkey. It was the perfect combination of relaxation, learning. We swam off the boat, visited ancient sites and villages and enjoyed some very good food. Our guides were excellent, as were the crew of the boat. There were no crowds and we enjoyed the company of the other guests. We had never been on any other type of organised tour before our first trip with Peter Sommer Travels in 2013. We have now done seven and are already thinking about where to go next year. That probably says more than any review we could give.

Best way to experience the Dalmatian Coast!

We loved everything about this tour. The boat was beautiful...exceptional layout for public spaces and nicely appointed cabins. Our guides, Filip and Mislav were amazing. They easily integrated with our group, possessed incredible expertise, led insightful tours, and were sensitive to the everyone's preferences and needs throughout the trip. We left with a much better appreciation of Croatia, it's people, and it's history. We look forward ...

We enjoyed personalized service throughout, from our initial inquiry to preparing for our tour, and from exceptional guides during our trip. It was clear a lot of effort was put forth behind the scenes to ensure no detail was overlooked. We never waited...the zodiac was always on time to pick us up; the tour vans and local guides were always there when we arrived ashore. We didn't have to figure out how to split the wine bill at dinner or the drink bill when we stopped at local cafes; Peter Sommer took care of this. A talented chef turned out great meals from a tiny galley, and we were treated to excellent meals at local restaurants ashore. All of this was seamlessly and thoughtfully presented in a way that looked effortless. We appreciate all the hard work that went into providing a flawless experience.

Simply the best Turkey Cruise and Archaeology holiday.

What a way to spend two weeks, cruising the Western Turkey shores, visiting amazing Archaeological sites with a world renowned Turkey specialist archaeological tour guide, combined with great food, excellent crew, secluded bay swimming, all while travelling on a beautiful wooden Gulet.

Peter Sommer Travels run a very professional tour operation, specialising in Gulet cruises in the Aegean Sea together with expert tour guides. Could not fault any aspect of the whole tour and company.

Filip and Mislav were knowledgeable, personable and passionate about Archeology and Croatia. They made our trip fun and memorable...can't say enough good things about them. Ask for them by name...you'll understand why we enjoyed traveling w/them.

Best Holiday Experience Ever

The combination of cruising and archaeology is just perfect on this type of holiday. There is plenty of time to swim, rest, read and sightsee as well as seeing the incredible archaeological sites. To travel to these sites with an experienced and knowledgeable archaeologist brings the sites to life and you learn so much. Highly recommended

Cruising to Ephesus

My trip cruising up the coast of Turkey visiting the ancient ruins was an amazing experience. I had wanted to make this trip for over 20 years so my expectations were high -- and the trip exceeded all my expectations. We had an archeologist on board who brought such enthusiasm and knowledge to our excursions, and his passion was contagious. The cruise was the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and learning. This vacation was truly transformative...

Every aspect of the trip was perfect. The staff at Peter Sommer are truly committed to providing you with a wonderful experience from the moment you book your trip to the moment you leave the boat. The staff anticipated every need and was always first-rate. And the food on the trip was incredible, taking into consideration the specific dietary requirements of each person. I will definitely be planning another trip with them in the near future.
