Peter Sommer Travels Traveller Reviews

This was my first tour with Peter Sommers and also the first time I have gone on a cruise. Cruising on a Turkish gulet really was very special, as was being able to swim off the side of the boat in the clear blue water of the Aegean Sea. The islands we visited all offered something different, whether it was an archaelogical site, a crusader castle or a volcano. I especially enjoyed the mix of Turkish food on board and Greek specialities on the islands we visited. The guides were both exceptionally knowlegable and went out of their way to ensure that everyone had the best possible experience. I would highly recommend Peter Sommers Travel, and this tour, to anyone wanting a special holiday experience.

Peter Sommer Travel - my first experience with them exceeded my expectations and I wouldn't hesitate to travel with them again. The tour was varied and interesting, the food was excellent and the guides were warm and extremely knowlegable. Every effort was made to accommodate peoples' differing needs.

The holiday was an excellent mix of exercise, intellectual interest and relaxation - fine walks on and around sections of the Lycian Way, visiting often remote but fascinating archaeological sites, yet with ample time to enjoy the comfort, company and excellent cuisine on board the boat and the swimming from the boat. The trip had been thought through with care and was brilliantly organised. This part of Turkey is a peaceful and beautiful gem, far removed from the troubles of the world, and the locals are delightfully friendly and hospitable. Strongly recommended.

First rate planning and organisation, offering holidays that fully meet the description in the brochure. We have holidayed with the company before and will do so again.

This was our third holiday with Peter Sommer and as good as ever. A wonderful combination of walking, archaeology & relaxing on the boat. The food was excellent, as were the leader, local guide and crew. Altogether a thoroughly enjoyable holiday.

Very efficient organisation of the trip. Very helpful with advice and booking arrangements and extremely smooth running of the holiday itself.

This was our second trip booked with Peter Sommer Travels, and , once again, a trip of a life time! Our guide Dr. Helena Tomas, is brilliant! We lived the history of each place we visited, through her vast knowledge , her passion and her deep love of her country. The Islands of the southern Dalmatia felt like a place lost in time. The beautiful limestone structures, the history that has endured centuries, and the quiet pace of the daily life. It all made it very hard to leave!

This was our second trip booked through Peter Sommer Travel. It is a true pleasure working with them. They have impeccable attention to detail. From the first moment you contact them , they are prompt in responding, all details are carefully covered, and the trip is enchanting.

A fortnight on a gulet with 16 passengers and two archaeologists, exploring ancient Greek sites. But more, walking through centuries old Greek villages, eating ashore as well as on board so we tasted food from different islands, swimming in the clear warm water of the Aegean, learning about the history of a country whose philosophy and literature have been such a huge part of our own culture. This was our third trip with Peter Sommer Travels and we are planning another. What more can I say?

Peter Sommer runs a a highly professional organization. From his brochure to drop off at the airport to fly home his attention to detail and his consideration for his clients is superb. The archaeologists he uses as guides are erudite but highly personable and have an ability to turn a pile of stones into a recreation of the lives of the people who lived there over two millennia ago.

A well thought out itinerary which provided an informative and enjoyable experience no matter how much you already knew about the history and archeology of these beautiful islands. Heinrich and Maria are knowledgeable and personable and, quite frankly, delightful people! Peter Sommer Travels obviously take care in ensuring those who lead their tors are top notch.

A well respected operator that works hard to provide a unique travel experience for those interested in delving deeper into a country's culture and history when travelling.

I travelled with Peter Sommer's gulet Kos to Patmos trip in September and had a wonderful week cruising around some of the lesser known Greek islands. We were accompanied by an expert guide and tour manager, both of whom made our onshore site and museum visits come alive, providing just the right amount of detail. Food on board was spectacular, a real feat given the small galley.

The company was professional right from the time of inquiry and booking, through to my airport transfer at the end of the week.

Fantastic in all regards! Great itinerary, guides and food!

Excellent in all regards!

Excellent tour all around. Wonderful guides, boat, crew. Well planned, organized and carried out. A very insightful educational as well as great holiday experience.

Very helpful and forthcoming in arranging our booking and responding to concerns with prompt and useful responses.

It was really nice to have such a structured holiday where everything was planned out for us. The crew of the ship were welcoming and helpful and the food provided was delicious. There was plenty of opportunity for us to go swimming or do exercise and I felt like we could easily have a say in what we wanted to do.

Everything was very well prepared and planned and the two tour guides were so helpful and informative
