Peter Sommer Travels Traveller Reviews

Cruising the Cyclades with Peter Sommer Travel was an excellent small group tour. The two tour leaders (also archaeologists) were fun and incredible knowledgeable. The boat crew were skilled, pleasant and helpful at all times. The trips to the islands were well-organised with visits to extraordinary archaeological sites and to places off the beaten track.

Peter Sommer Travel have an excellent reputation for good reason. They specialise in small group tours and have highly knowledgeable, interesting, pleasant and professional staff. The tours are expensive but due to the quality of the experience I believe they represent good value for money.

We had a most enjoyable 2 week tour through the Peloponnese in May this year. The itinerary was well chosen, the commentary from the guides very erudite yet not overwhelming. The trip was well planned and executed, any wish was attended to and our female guide went out of her way to make the experience as pleasant as possible. A lot of attention was paid to give us a taste of the variety of regional Greek food and wine. We followed the two weeks with another two week sailing trip through the Cyclades, back to back. Once again the experience was repeated, so it is fair to say that Peter Sommer provides consistently good service. It might be worth mentioning that the Peloponnese was physically quite demanding, as per advice given, the Gulet holiday on the other hand very relaxing with lots of downtime. This was our first experience with group travel and we were positively surprised; both groups had most pleasant travelcompanions (easier than travelling with friends). Highly recommended.

Very helpful and organised, well planned, interesting itinerary, wonderful guides.

This was a well organised, professionally run and most informative and enjoyable tour of archaeological sites in Ireland.

Cruise along the Dalmatian Coast

Very aspect of dealing with Peter Sommer, from booking to the cruise itself, was a positive experience. Very professional operator. I have nothing but the highest praise for them, and have already recommended them to friends who have now booked the Dalmatian Coast cruise for September.

Small group cruise of the Dodecanese and Cyclades Islands with two very enthusiastic and well educated guides for two weeks.

Peter Sommer tours. History based tours.

This was my first time to Sicily. The travel experience exceeded my expectations. The guides, one local and one an historian, provided rich, informative and delightful narrative about this wonderful county, it’s people, and its culture. The depth of cultural appreciation and respect for traveler and the travel experience was reflected in the choice of guides and itinerary and accommodations. I have led many a tour group myself. I am aware of what goes into planning and delivering. Peter Sommer obviously has developed professional relationships and partners who share in the commitment to provide the best opportunity for exploring the culture and history of a place. Our group gelled wonderfully from the beginning. I think a reflection of the care we were provided and the level of excellence in all aspects of the trip. And it was fun! Our guides were not only professional and informed they were funny and spirited and caring. I not only gained insight and understanding about Sicily that reflects its character and soul but my experience in general with the guides and fellow travelers is one that is memorable and that I am grateful I did not miss. I will seek out Peter Sommer Travel again. My holiday experience was terrific.

Peter Sommer Travels provided a rich and thoughtful experience for exploring Sicily. The itinerary and accommodations were chosen with care. Travelers were given a wonderful and in depth introduction to Sicily and its history and excellent accommodations whether in beautiful country settings or urban. Hospitality and love of cultural place and people wove together to provide a travel experience that was educational, pleasurable, and reflected care for the country and care for the travelers. I highly recommend Peter Sommer Travel. You can trust them to design and deliver a travel experience that will be a highlight of a lifetime.

We had such a wonderful trip on Peter Sommer Travels Walking and Cruising Southern Dalmatia. Filip Budic, our very knowledgeable guide was so wonderful, friendly, and fun. The itinerary was so well thought out and just the right amount of people. The Turkish Gullet was a beautiful boat and the Captain and crew were so attentive and kind. The rooms were good size as well as the bathrooms. Croatia is such a beautiful place and the islands were magnificent. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who likes to be active while vacationing. It is important to note that the definition of "walking" is different in Europe than it is in the U. S. It was definitely hiking for us.

I found this company online and the reviews were wonderful. Peter Sommer was always available to answer any questions we had before the trip began. He called during the trip to make sure all was well. I would definitely use this company again

Every Peter Sommer holiday we have participated in has been an adventure in learning and gaining first hand experiences which we would have missed out on if we had been on our own or in a larger group. Our Tour Guides provided us with information and temporal experiences not otherwise readily available. We are already looking forward to another Peter Sommer holiday.

Every element of the holiday was well planned. The knowledgeable tour guides, the museums and archeological sites, the well thought through delicious menus and the wonderful accommodation are a testament to thorough organisation .

I thoroughly enjoyed the trip around Sicilia with Peter Sommer Travel. We had a small group of travelers very interested in the archeology, history, and culture of Sicily. I came home eager to continue my study of this fascinating area.

Peter Sommer Travel provided a small group experience with wonderful lodgings, great food, and two tour guides. One guide is a native Sicilian and the other a professor of GreeK and Roman history. I learned so much from each of them.

A 14 day small-group exploration of Crete's history, geography and culture, accompanied by passionate and knowledgeable expert guides who helped tour participants to interpret several thousand years of incredible history through an exploration of the Cretan landscape and culture.
