Gulet Cruising in Style with a Guide

A week on a beautiful wooden ship on the southern coast of Turkey. Accompanied by a guide - who was an experienced archaeologist we visited a range of sites and had some lovely walks.

Food, history and fun.

The best guides, both academic and local that I have ever had. I do a lot of travelling and this was the most enjoyable trip I have taken.

Two day tour of London

We spent two terrific days with Paul Bestom focusing on Roman London on day 1 and the Sloan and British Museum on day 2. We asked Paul to plan a trip that would be somewhat unique as we have been to London many times....both days were unique and unbelievable interesting......it was very clear that Paul had worked very hard at planning two perfect days!

There are so many great tour operators but Peter Sommer’s tours are truly unique with a focus on ancient history and culture lead by guides who are PHD level in their knowledge and training!

Cruising to the Cyclades by NickM , 7 Jun 2019
Holiday Rating:

A wonderful, life enhancing experience

Cruising the Cyclades in a charming and comfortable Turkish gulet, expertly guided across the rich history of islands both large and small, dense with tourists or much quieter, eating local cuisine in spectacular locations and swimming in remote and tranquil coves. Difficult to think of a better holiday to combine relaxation and stimulation.

Peter Sommer Travels were excellent in the pre-travel instructions and the tour guides were wonderful, both in their expert knowledge and their conduct of the tour.

Alexander The Great: Pt. One by Cathie, 5 Jun 2019
Holiday Rating:

Peter Sommers tours always excel

In the Footsteps of Alexander was exceptionally well organized, enjoyable and historically enlightening. Both Peter Sommer as our educational guide and our many guest lecturers delivered the facts on the fascinating history and archeology of relating to Alexander as well as local history such as Gallipoli during WW1. Local food and wines were thoroughly explored and enjoyed and the hotels were all very special in 'flavour' and comfortable.

This was my fourth trip with Peter Sommer Travels and as usual it was well organized in every detail; dining, communication, transportation and accommodations are all excellent. Our comfort is always considered and I appreciate the reference materials that are recommended ahead of a trip. A highlight of this trip was the very Turkish picnic at the site of Alexanders second battle in Asia Minor.

Traveling through the Peloponnese with informed archaeologists and guides opened up new vistas for us

2 weeks visiting all of the major and even minor sites in this area of Greece was excellent. Spent 7 weeks in total on 3 different Peter Sommer trips with separate visits to Naxos and Rodas and Thessaloniki. Gave one a comprehensive understanding of this civilization over the past 6-7,000 years.
