Peter Sommer staff were considerate and helpful from the moment we booked till the moment we left the boat for home.





Way above my expectation
I really went for the archaeological experience but was thrilled to find that we were given plenty of time to enjoy the boat experience as well. The crew of four ran the boat like a well-oiled machine and the food was nothing short of fantastic. Olivier Henry was passionate about his subject and Cem was very professional, knowledgable and fun. He is a real gem for the company to have.

I found Julie to be very proactive and friendly and any questions were answered by return.





Gastronomic Gulet Cruise
This cruise was along the southwestern coast of Turkey from Gocek to Bodrum. It included visits to many archeological sites with tours by an expert guide and archeologist. It also included many special culinary experiences with excellent meals prepared by the chef on board the boat, as well as, cooking demonstrations and meals in local homes or small family-owned restaurants.

It also included many special culinary experiences with excellent meals prepared by the chef on board the boat, as well as, cooking demonstrations and meals in local homes or small family-owned restaurants. This gave us an opportunity to meet local people and get a better understanding of Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine and culture. The blend of ancient sites, archeology, gastronomic events, beautiful scenery, swims in clear turquoise waters and great ambiance of the wooden gullet was magical.

Peter Sommer Travel provided excellent logistics, first-class archeologist guides and a marvelous boat for our holiday experience.





Excellent way to experience the Amalfi Coast!
One week on a Peter Sommer gulet tour. Wonderful week excellently organized and coordinated. It was fun, the food was good, fellow guests were interesting, the crew was great, and the archaeological expeditions featured extremely knowledgeable guides. I look forward to booking my next Peter Sommer Tour..

Cruising the Dodecanese
The Company delivered everything that was promised and more. We saw some amazing sites, had the most profound insights and had good fun into the bargain.

A relatively small Company, but one which thereby gives a most personal service with attention to every detail.





An eye-opening experience.
We got an extraordinary exposure to the history of the Lycian Coast, one that greatly clarified the mysteries of the ancient world. Seeing it from the comfort of a Turkish gulet and journeying with a passionate archaeologist made the experience very special, and the presence of the high rocky coast, and acquamarine waters in the little coves, was unforgettable. It was the journey of a lifetime--which was good because my wife and I were celebrating ...

The tour was impeccably organized and deliciously catered throughout. No aspect of our comfort and safety was overlooked. We were picked up beforehand and delivered to the airport afterwards, and everything in between ran like clockwork. Even so, the atmosphere was leisurely and responsive to the group's levels of energy and interest. All the business details were handled with complete professionalism, and the guidance at ancient sites was passionately committed and informative. Sommer Tours sets the bar for all subsequent tours!





Relaxing and informative
The tour of Greek Islands and Turkish archaeological sites was fun, relaxing and very informative. The tour had been well thought out with a good mixture of archaeology, culture, site seeing, food and relaxation. The guides were knowledgeable and great company. We will definitely try and do something similar again.

Well organised and with lots of local knowledge.





Yet again, our trip with Peter Sommer Travels exceeded our expectations
The holiday was called "Cruising the Amalfi Coast" and involved 6 days meandering around the Bay of Naples and the Amalfi Coast on a Turkish gulet. However, like the other holiday we did with Peter a couple of years ago, it was not all simply hedonism but involved wonderful excursions to historic sites, including Pompeii, Herculaneum and the archeological museum in Naples led by expert guides.

The beauty of holidays with Peter Sommer Travels is that you get the benefits of a fully organised and relaxing holiday while at the same time having the opportunity to see and experience historic sites and places that you may not otherwise see yourself. Most importantly, even if you did visit yourself, you would not have the benefit of experiencing the places with in-depth knowledge and passion for their subjects that Peter's guides have. Michael and Francesca were both wonderful. Such different people, but as a team they were splendid! Neither Georgina nor I could recommend Peter Sommer Travels highly enough.





Dreamy cruise in a small vessel along the south west Turkey coast.
If you are a sociable sort and like history, lazy cruising along a beautiful coastline in a stylish gulet, good food, good company, expert guidance and swimming in the crystal blue waters of the Mediterranean then you will be in heaven on this 14 day trip. Fabulous

Competent, professional, friendly, excellent communicator.





The experience was "over the top"
The Peter Sommer Travel experience was excellent. I had always wanted to go up the Coast of Turkey visiting the incredible ruins. This was every bit what I wanted and then some.
