Peter Sommer Travels Traveller Reviews

A fourteen day coach tour of the best archaeological sites in this famous area of Greece. The tour was led by a very experienced archaeologist and a social historian who gave us detailed descriptions of the history of each site and its importance in Ancient Greece. The accommodation was excellent and the food amazing.

We have always found Peter Sommer Travel and their expert staff a pleasure to travel with. This explains why this tour of the Peloponnese was our eighth time with them in Greece, Turkey and Italy.

Cruising on a gulet in Turkey with an expert guide on board to lead you at the ancient sites visited, bringing their histoy and stories to life. Time to relax on board, to swim, snorkel, paddleboard, kyak or even float on a pink flamingo in the clear waters of the Aegean sea. Delicious meals prepared with fresh local ingredients, meals shared together around a table on the aft deck. This has to be the best way to visit these ancient sites, some well known, some not so, all remarkable.

Very well organised, great attention to detail ensuring the enjoyement of all of the group.

A stimulating tour through some of Greece's most famous, beautiful sights. Learned much, but also greatly enjoyed the collegial approach of the operators, who gladly took questions, provided detailed answers to many questions. Add to that the incredible food and lodging. A tour for the ancient history enthusiast!

Both were supremely expert and engaging.

Hours of cruising along the turquoise coast of Turkey interspersed with guided tours of unforgettable archeological sites. The highlight was Ephesus but others along the way were important in their own right. Our expert guides contributed a wealth of knowledge and personal insights.

Peter Sommer Travels provides a 5 star experience. My travel companions were experienced travelers and shared my interest in learning about ancient history and culture. Our guides exceeded our expectations.

We were 6 girlfriends who sat sail on a 'Peter Sommers Travel' gullet trip on the 2nd June 2024 from Bodrum, Turkey. A wonderful voyage following the Bodrum peninsula with stops at ancient sites to learn about the powerful history going back thousands of years. What made it absolutely perfect was Peter Sommer's talks about the sites we visited, he really made history come alive. Plus that in between we could swim and sunbathe - a perfect combination!

Very organised, professional and accommodating. The knowledge from both our guides and their helpfulness made it one of my best holidays.

We had a great trip with Peter Sommer to the Lycian shore of Turkey. Guides were great as well as the food and the accommodations.

Very well organized from starting our booking with the office to the final transfer of our trip.

This was a wonderfully relaxing and very educational walking tour along the Aegean Coast of Turkey. The use of the Gulet boats for overnight accommodations ensures a fantastic and memorable archeological trip.

Peter Sommer travels has a great team and deserves top marks for providing a well designed tour of the Lycean Way. The guides are highly knowledgeable and personable, ensuring that every day was an enjoyable, educational and relaxing experience.

My wife and I took the Peter Sommer May 2024 Peloponnese tour. Best tour we ever had. The 2 guides were the most knowledgeable subject matter experts we ever encountered. The itinerary was excellent while the attention to the organizational details was simply outstanding. We plan to take many more Peter Sommer tours.

Outstanding attention to ALL organizational details -- pre tour and during tour.

Peter Sommer is excellent, they have really good pre trip information , reading lists etc and take great care of each guest during the trip.

Sites and museums the length and breadth of Crete gave us a thorough insight into the history and archeology of this fascinating island. Including some of the stories of the archaeologists who made the discoveries added a further level of interest.

Excellently organised itineraries, excellent accommodation, delicious local food, and knowledgeable guides who explained everything so well.
