Peter Sommer Travels Traveller Reviews

This holiday was really well planned and led. The walking was demanding for me but manageable with stunning views . Peter, the leader was very interesting recounting the history of the sites visited in a very accessible manner. The gulet was spacious and comfortable with good nutritious and tasty food. The tour manager was excellent and it was all very enjoyable. I really recommend this trip.

Very well organised from beginning to end

Peter Sommer holidays provided everything we expected and a bit more.

A superb and fascinating trip to many beautiful archaeological sites in Western Lycia. Peer Sommer's trip was perfectly organized and executed. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and professional. Our accommodations aboard the Gulet were excellent and the food was superb. I highly recommend this tour and Peter Sommer Travels.

An archaeologist who brought the rich history of this region to life.

This was our second trip with Peter Sommers Travel, up from 7 days to 14, but any reservations we may have had about repeating the experience, evaporated on day one as we realized once again that we were in the capable hands of a skilled team and crew, and travelling with a group of like minded guests. All aspects of the trip were undertaken with expertise and competence, from accommodation, transport, and shore excursions to food, wine and swimming. If you share our interests of sailing and archaeology, we highly recommend these tours - we may even meet you on board!

Peter, on visiting our first archaeological site, explained that it was his challenge to make these sites come alive for us. He succeeded admirably. His apparently limitless knowledge and boundless enthusiasm were ever present. At times I almost felt sorry for this mountain goat of a guide tethered to a group of old fogies! He could have told us and shown us so much more if only we had been able to keep up! Well done Peter and your superb team!

We had the most interesting and enjoyable week. The guides were excellent, extremely well informed and helpful to make it a truly memorable week, long to be remembered.

Very helpful. Providing excellent and detailed itinerary information.

Our holiday was perfect. We enjoyed, cruising, swimming good food, expert guidance and good company.

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

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.

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. 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.

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..

Peter Sommer Travels offers well run tours. I was extremely please with the professionalism of every one hired by Peter Sommer Travels. They strived to create a wonderful adventure for their guests.

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.
