Peter Sommer Travels Traveller Reviews

I found the whole trip to be most enjoyable. The fellow guests were delightful, the crew was great, the food very good and most of all the two guides were knowledgeable in every thing we saw. The most important thing was we got to learn a thing or two but also relax and have fun...

They gave us all the information we needed before we got on the boat and took care of every thing we needed while we were on the trip... What more could a person ask for...

Every aspect of this tour was the best that could be expected. The boat that was chartered, the crew of the boat, the guides and the islands that we visited. WE could not ask for more.

The tour operator provided all the information we needed before the trip and kept us up to date on the political situation before our trip. Peter Sommer Travel could not have been better.

Hiked to ancient Lycian ruins using the gulet as a home base. The gulet was luxurious. The food delicious.

Well coordinated and planned. It was an excellent trip! Will take more with this firm.

My husband and I, along with four other couples, cruised the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia for eight days on a lovely gulet. Our cruise was arranged by Peter Sommer Tours. It was a marvelous holiday; gorgeous surroundings, good food, great wines and lots of fascinating history. Our ship's crew could not have been better. They were always looking out for our enjoyment and well being. We still marvel at the wonderful meals that came our of the small galley. Our tour guides were knowledgable, well organized and efficient. They were able to maximize our land tour experiences while also allowing for personal time and interests. We would travel with Peter Sommer Tours again.

Our tour operator was great from beginning to end. Prior to our trip, they provided us with all the necessary information needed and answered our questions. The tour operator was in contact with our group daily during the trip to make sure that all was well. After we arrived home, we were contacted by them to inquire about our experience.

Good food, excellent guides, fascinating history, gorgeous coastline,. Weather could have been a lot better but that was nobody's fault.

Well organized. Responsive.

2 weeks cruising along some of the South West coast of Turkey with my wife and 10 other people. There were walks to various sites using parts of the Lycian Way. The walks varied in length and difficulty which most people managed well. I had not taken sufficient notice of the likely terrain which was sometimes along pretty rocky steep paths so that we did not go on all the days walking as I am now 80. This was not a problem as we had a great time either spending the day doing just some of the journey,or on the boat or in the water, or canoeing, or doing different something on our own. We had a quite excellent holiday

Peter was there to lead the holiday which he did very professionally and with great knowledge of the ancient sites that we went to and their histories plus the conditions of each days walk. Could not have taken more trouble to sort out alternatives for when we did not wish to walk on any particular day. I can really recommend his holidays to anyone wishing to walk and see sites and at the same time have the comfort and fun of living on a very comfortable boat which will take you along the coast to different destinations.

Just finished two weeks of wonderful ancient sites, swimming in the warm Aegean Sea, great companions to share terrific wine, food and the day's adventures.

Peter Sommer Travels excels in providing a full and complete holiday. Everything is organised and catered for; airport arrivals/departures, beautiful locations, wonderful food, swimming and expert knowledge travelling with like-minded people on a beautiful Gulet.

We don't like crowds, impersonalization, or rushing. We DO like knowledgeable, personal service, great food and learning and seeing new things. Our gulet cruise to Croatia was all that and more. We would highly recommend any Peter Sommer Tour.

Everything was smooth

I learned so much from our guides. Helena, the archeologist, brought history alive for us. Goren and Nievus were also excellent guides who were very knowledgeable and accommodating to all of our needs.What impressed me the most, was the fact that when our boat had a mechanical problem, we had a replacement boat and crew the next morning! The crew on both boats was very nice and professional. The food was fabulous and I loved that we had several meals outside of the boat so we could experience local foods. My husband hurt his foot and Goren promptly got some bandages etc. for him and accompanied him to see the doctor.

I had excellent communication with the Peter Sommers agency. I was given literature that explained the boat and what was going to occur during the week.

My wife and I in a gulet (the Gemibasi)for two weeks along the Carian Coast of Turkey (from Gocek to Bodrum). Trip exceeded our high expectations. The scenery -- natural and man made -- was spectacular. We enjoyed kayaking around the beautiful bays we anchored in. Our archeologist guide Serdar Akerdem was a superb companion: leading us on hikes, exploring ancient ruins and taking us to a few of his favorite eating places. I say a few because most of the time we ate on the boat and the food was outstanding, one of the three man crew was also the chef and my wife (a real foodie) was especially impressed at the variety and quality of the meals (and afternoon snacks) he prepared. The crew was obviously highly competent plus their friendliness and smiles made it a joy to be aboard.

We had only positive experiences working with Peter Sommer and his staff for this trip. It began well over a year ago, exploring options and getting advice, developing an itinerary, then preparing us and finally as Indicated above providing a first class boat (with wifi), crew and guide. The competence and care of the guide and crew was demonstrated when I developed an infection from a wasp bite and they got me to a medical facility for timely and effective treatment. I will highly recommend Peter Sommer to friends when I return home.
