Peter Sommer Travels Traveller Reviews

This one week tour with my husband included visits to Avebury, Stonehenge, Bath and Bowood house and gardens

This one week tour provided by Peter Sommer Travels was exceptional in its content, the itinerary, and all of the support; hotels, meals, tour guides and transportation. Peter Sommer Travels is an excellent tour company which places the care, comfort and safety of its clients at the forefront. The tour was well organized following an engaging itinerary which was guided by professional and knowledgeable guides. We recommend Peter Sommer Travels and this tour, Exploring Wessex, without reservation.

This was our second tour with Peter Sommer Travels. The tour itinerary included a week of exploring Hadrian's Wall from coast to coast in early July.

We were most pleased with all aspects of the tour which was well organized around a historical itinerary. The daily agenda, hotel arrangements, dining experiences and professional tour guides all exceeded our expectations. The care, comfort and safety of the client are the first priorities for Peter Sommer Travels We can most heartily recommend Peter Sommer Travels and specifically their Exploring Hadrian's Wall without reservation.

We participated in two tours with the Peter Sommer Travels group that focused on Neolithic and Roman sites, with a few more modern sites that were tied to the overall historical theme. On the first tour we visited locations in Wessex that included Avebury, Stonehenge, Sarum and Bath. On the second tour we visited the remains of several Roman forts and museums near Hadrian's Wall in northern England. Additionally, we hiked several miles along the wall at various locations. A particular highlight of the first tour was access to the inner circle at Stonehenge, and a highlight of the second tour was seeing a 2000 year old Roman shoe pulled from the mud at Vindolanda.

This was our first experience with Peter Sommer Travels. We are delighted to give them an unqualified "excellent" rating in all aspects, from initial contact, to booking, to superb coordination by the tour organizers, the excellent knowledge and wonderful humor of our guide, and the selection of tour sites. We look forward to traveling with Peter Sommer Travels again.

We toured with Peter Sommer Travel the first week in July, 2017 on the Exploring Wessex tour. The tour was excellent in all respects and thourghly enjoyable. It was lovely.

There are many travel companies however, Peter Sommer stands high amongst them in terms of client care and concern. The tour was well planned and expertly executed. the guides are experts in their field, personable and always alert to the needs of the client.

We were accommodated at Langley Castle in Northumbria. From there we travelled east to the mouth of the River Tyne and Wall's End and then over the next four days to the western end of the Wall at the Irish Sea. Museums, forts and the Wall itself were the highlights of the trip. Some strenuous walking but taken at a reasonable pace that even the 85 yer old on the tour was able to keep up. Great accommodation, great food and interesting fellow travellers from New Zealand, Australia, the United States, Britain and Canada. A well travelled and personable group of companions.

Well organized tour with engaging expert historian as guide.

We spent seven days aboard a gulet cruising from Split to Dubrovnik. We visited unspoilt islands and splendid archaeological sites led by an expert on board guide as we learnt about the history and culture of this beautiful region. The magnificent Palace of the Roman Emperor Diocletian in Split, the charming walled city of Korcula and the bustling city of Dubrovnik were only some of the delights that awaited us. Relaxing aboard the gulet, swimming off the boat and enjoying the local cuisine in carefully chosen restaurants completed a wonderful week.

Michael and I have taken three trips with Peter Somer Travels and have enjoyed each one immensely. Employing the finest expert guides, meticulous planning and attention to detail are a hallmark of these tours. I have recommended this company to many friends.

This was our first visit to Croatia and we will be back! The cruise with Peter Sommer, our third, was excellently managed and staffed with knowledgeable guides, all in all a great experience.

Our third trip with Peter Sommer, which was professionally organized and run.

The combination of the archaeology, the food and wine experiences, the swimming and the generally relaxed atmosphere made for a very enjoyable tour.

Peter Sommer representatives were efficient, well organised and the pre-tour information was most informative. There was a high attention to detail. Our main tour guide was very enthusiastic and highly qualified.

We explored 7000-10,000 years of Cretan history and were introduced to some of the best food, olive oil, and wine ever! The accommodations were wonderful, inventive and inviting.

The professionals at Peter Sommer Travels are amazing. They are well organized, provide an outstanding travel and education experience, and go out of their way to make everyone feel comfortable. Our tour guides, Maria and Michael, were phenomenal. Not only are they highly trained archaeologists who bring life to the past in creative and fun ways, they use that history as a foundation to introduce you to present-day Crete. I still dream about the wonderful food!

Have been on Peter Sommers Cruises before and find the experience excellent and would do it again if the times suit our calendar. They look after the detail and make sure that you are looked after. I had a real problem walking any distance on this trip and they made special provision for me without disrupting anyone else and I was most grateful. As always the trip was well organized, intelligent, friendly and the food was great. I would and have recommended them to others. For people who do not like organized tours or cruises this was fantastic and met all our expectations.

Peter Sommers Travel is thoroughly professional, ethical and good value
