Peter Sommer Travels Traveller Reviews

A gulet was a very enjoyable and pleasant way of seeing the Dalmatian coast. Filip the guide was very knowledgeable and good at imparting his knowledge and also very good company. The other passengers were good company. And all the arrangements worked well

Particularly good at providing well- qualified expert guides

During an extensive exploration of the peninsula we were treated to Bronze Age and Classical ruins, Byzantine churches, Frankish forts, still-functioning monasteries, highlights at a number of museums, and beautiful scenery, all in the company of excellent guides. Heinrich and Nota were super-knowledgeable and fun; it is hard to imagine a better way to experience the Peloponnese, or Greece for that matter. Very highly recommended!

The folks at Peter Sommer Travels were excellent-attentive and great at communicating during these stressful times. Every aspect of the tour was executed flawlessly. We look forward to traveling with PST again...and again!

Twelve travelers and two expert guides spent two weeks visiting the Peloponnese peninsula seeing such legendary sites as Mycenae, Olympia, and Pylos. The itinerary was well-planned, little time was wasted, food was fine and plentiful. The guides were knowledgeable, attentive, flexible, and funny. I would recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in Greek history.

The Peter Sommer company did an excellent job. We had signed up to take this tour in spring of 2020 but Covid cancelled that. They were very helpful in arranging for us to revise our plans. There were no surprises in terms of cost; we paid what we had agreed, no add-ons or extras. Everyone from office staff to guides to the driver performed their parts impeccably.

The trip was fantastic- well planned, fascinating, and fun. The focus was archaeology, our obsession, but there was time for natural beauty, great food and a little wandering.

Heinrich and Nota are both archaeologists, so they could help us understand what we were seeing. And they are both fun, organized and have a great sense of humor.

Seven days of lovely cruising from Bodrum to Gocek on board a most comfortable and well appointed gulet. Each day provided a nice balance between the natural and cultural treasures this part of Turkey is known for. A trained archaeologist brought the vibrant area history to life and a local guide added color and commentary related to life as it exists today and also interpreted the wonderful culinary offerings offered up on board the gulet.

Peter Sommer travels did a superb job coordinating the trip both before and during the journey. The personal touch is what makes this company stand out.

See above.

She was very active in taking care of the group and less active on archaeology, her field.

A14 day mini-bus tour of the archaeological & historic sites of the Peloponnese led by 2 archaeologists/historians. Very well planned and organised with good choice of hotels and restaurants. Tour was made by the excellence in every respect of the two guides, one German archaeologist who has lived and worked in Greece for many years, and one Greek historian specialising in the Byzantine period. Very nice and able people

Our experience in Crete began on 6 Oct and ended on 20 Oct. My wife and I soaked up our exploration of Crete through the windows of archaeology, nature, and cuisine. Our only regret was that we did not have more time to go into greater depth in our explorations. The topography was fascinating, especially in terms of how the ancient sites fit into what we were seeing in old and existing cities and strucutres. Of course, it was interesting to sample the cuisine for our meals from the east to west, as well as the north and south of Crete. The food was always very fresh and delectable. Of course, with our waking on the archaeological sites and in the cities kept us in good shape inspite of the great meals. We highly recommend this tour for those interested in ancient times and even to modern times. Our tour guides were excellent in explaining where we going and what we should learn at each site and then provided us with detailed info on what we just visited. They had special insight on the cuisine. We are very happy that we could take advantage of what Peter Sommer's team had to offer in this wonderful tour of Crete's archaeology, nature, and cuisine.

We had two guides. One was a trained archaeologist and the other was an expert in the ancient to the modern history of Crete. In addition, we had an excellent van driver who was amazing in taking us to sites withut any difficulty. This organization was put together by Peter Sommer's organization and operated without any problems. What more could we ask for.
