Peter Sommer Travels Traveller Reviews

Wonderful experience in southern Turkey with Peter Sommer. A hugely experienced and enthusiastic guide, tour leader and archaeologist who is able to impart so much information about the area and what is being examined. First class.

A seamless holiday throughout - even the flights were on time!

This was my 4th trip to Turkey. Turkey does not disappoint in it's varied and extensive history. I love learning and this trip offered that plus beautiful scenery and the lovely turquoise waters I had heard so much about. My mornings were spent reading about the history of the area. The food was amazing and I loved every dish! Each of the historical sites offered something a little different. What a Joy my trip was!

If your passion is a mix of travel, history, beautiful scenery, and good food then Peter Sommer Travel will fulfill your quest. I was on the tour: Cruising the Lycian Shore. Our archeologist Richard Bayliss helped us to imagine what life was like 2,000 years ago while the Captain and his crew made sure we were well fed with traditional Turkish dishes and could enjoy the turquoise waters in the scenic coves of the Mediterranean.

We did a small boat (Gulet) tour of the Lycian coast in Turkey. It was an amazing time that I will never forget. I know how much work it takes to make these experiences look so easy. Our guides were excellent, the food quality was high, and the boat crew took very good care of us. We also really enjoyed all the stops along the way - the views were stunning and the archaeology sites were impressive. I just can't say enough good things about this tour. I would use this tour company again.

The guides and crew all went above and beyond to take care of us. They coordinated everything flawlessly and even helped me get a haircut in port.

Our group ranged in age from 10 to 83, and everyone loved every minute of it. Philip and Chem were outstanding as guides, and the crew of the ship was friendly and helpful at all times. We loved the accommodations and the informative tours. Food was also delicious.

Everything went smoothly from start to finish. The guides were particularly outstanding. Philip was excellent with the two kids, particularly the 10-year-old, engaging them in the historical discussions.

Cruising for seven days along the tranquil azure colored coast of Turkey and encountering unexpected gastronomic and archeological delights at every turn was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our lovely expert guide Serdar can only be described as a Turkish National Treasure! Serdar's extensive knowledge of Turkish history, culinary arts, archeological sites, and coastal geography was second to none. I cannot express enough in words how much this gentle and thoughtful man is utterly filled with knowledge and experiences regarding his beautiful country. From his 40-plus years as an archeologist working in various sites along the Turkish Coast, Serdar was able to introduce us to small non-touristy villages, breathtaking hiking trails, family-owned restaurants serving absolutely delicious Turkish food, and undiscovered and rarely visited archeological sites. Did I mention the delicious Turkish food?! We were treated daily to the most amazing Turkish meals and received personalized cooking classes from our talented cruise chef, family-owned village restaurants, and village homes. All these experiences were shared with the other lovely tour guests with whom we thoroughly enjoyed their company.

Wonderful organizational skills and timely-helpful communication.

We waited 2 1/2 years for this trip!

Very helpful

Great guides, fabulous boat, great food, excellent itinerary. Well worth 2year Covid delay.

Well planned. Expertise of guides Heinrich and Maria was exceptional

A wonderful tour of archeological sites along the stunning remote Carian coast based aboard a beautiful elegant comfortable wooden gulet. Our guide's enthusiasm and knowledge brought these ancient places to life and left us all wanting to explore more. We travelled along the coast mooring in remote coves where we could swim, kayak or just relax. The food was delicious. I honestly couldn't recommend this trip too highly and will be booking another Peter Sommer adventure next year.

Excellent in all respects from initial contact through booking ,transfers, general organisation. Easy to contact, efficient and friendly!

We enjoyed an exquisite immersion into ancient Greek and Carian sites, a fabulous gulet and Aegean experience and a wonderful cultural and culinary "deep dive."

Peter Sommer did an excellent job, start to finish. Our guide and all staff were super organised, caring and helpful. We wanted for nothing! We'll be travelling with PS again next year.

A wonderful historical journey through BC Mediterranean times which was well presented and balanced with other activities as we progress through the tour.

Top shelf. We are planning on another tour as soon as we can
