A history buff learns history!

Peter Sommer's two week gulet cruise in Turkey was amazing. Each day was a wonderful balance of exploring archaeological sites with an expert archaeologist, visiting small villages for delicious homemade meals or wine tastings, swimming in the warm waters of the Aegean sea, and enjoying comfortable meals and down time on the beautiful gulet.

Peter Sommer's two week gulet cruise in Turkey was amazing. Each day was a wonderful balance of exploring archaeological sites with an expert archaeologist, visiting small villages for delicious homemade meals or wine tastings, swimming in the warm waters of the Aegean sea, and enjoying comfortable meals and down time on the beautiful gulet. Our guide was excellent, and each day ran smoothly due to his preparations and care. The captain and crew of the gulet were professional, helpful, and lovely, and I felt welcomed and comfortable on the gulet. I hoped to learn a lot on this trip, and I certainly did. The well curated library aboard the gulet was an unexpected surprise. In addition, the Peter Sommer team is super responsive before and after the trip, answering questions and offering advice. I really appreciated the personal customer service. This was an absolutely amazing trip, and I am still thinking about all the places I visited and the beauty of the scenery.

Everyone on the Peter Sommer Travels team was excellent. They always gave me as much time as I needed to answer my questions, and I never felt rushed or as if I were bothering them with trivial matters. They were always responsive to all emails, and so helpful and kind. Their professionalism and excellence is one reason I would take another trip with Peter Sommer Travels.

Wonderful Gulet Trip along the Turkish Coast

This trip was such a great experience. The ship was excellent, the guide and archaeologist were top notch, and the food was beyond amazing. It was wonderful to spend the day touring ancient sites, visiting a winery (and tasting great wines) or learning all about olive oil production then and returning to the gulet and immediately jumping into the beautiful turquoise water. Ahhhhh! Our small group bonded immediately, and we had so many laughs ...

An exceptional cultural tour of Turkey’s history and dishes

The Turkish Gastronomic Gulet Tour we took with Peter Sommers as our tour guide and his fellow expert Cem was exceptional and so much fun! Peter's historical knowledge, passion and story telling has a way of bringing pieces of history to life. The traditional home made food, the places you explore, swimming in secluded bays with each day being unique from the day before is a tour for anyone who wants a historical and delicious adventure!
