Cruising the Carian Coast - A2M Traveller Reviews

My second cruise with Peter Sommer Travels. They have made me fall in love with sea travel. Perfect from start to finish. Interesting and friendly co-travelers. The tour guide and manager were personable hosts and very informative. The crew was great, obviously always thinking ahead. And I enjoyed every meal the cook prepared. Our last meal was celebrated with his sparkler-topped glowing-like-a-jack-o-lantern watermelon. The coast furnished lovely coves for overnight stays and the land was full of history. I've heard it said that Turkey is the best place to see surprisingly intact Greek ruins. It is true. So much is still there of the important towns of Knidos and Kaunos you can imagine living there.

I cannot say enough about Peter Sommer and his team. His itineraries are interesting, his crew members are well chosen for competency and attention to hospitality. Our hosts on board were friendly, helpful and full of information about our trip and the history of the sites. Information from the main office about the trip is comprehensive and sent in a timely manner. Transfers from airports to the cruise boat happen without problems. I was sad to leave such good company.

It would be very hard to criticise anything on this cruise. It was sheer luxury right from the initial airport transfer. The food was consistently better than our previous 5 days in Istanbul. The staff were attentive, polite and well dressed. We were honoured to have an archeologist with such a wealth of experience as Serdar and he humbly helped us in many other ways explaining the day's schedule, food, customs, language etc. If you could have just cancelled the heatwave it would have been perfect!

Peter Sommers has obviously perfected these cruises down to the last detail. He created a slightly different cruise especially for our party and it went without a hitch

We had been recommended to take this trip. This trip is one of the more memorable trips in our extensive travels. From the start of planning the trip we were delighted at the level of the service offered. From the moment we stepped on board our expectations were exceeded and stayed that way for the week. The food, scenery, our tour leader and guide plus the company of our fellow guests made it a wonderful week. The visits to the sites each day were a highlight made even better with a swim before and on returning to the Gulet. The crew were attentive and competent anticipating our needs at the same time not being intrusive,. The layout of the boat allowed convivial conversation over meals and space for people to have privacy for reading or snoozing whilst travelling between sites. Carole Ferrier and Jim Harvey Australia

When I made contact with Peter Sommer cruises, I received a phone call from England in our time zone to discuss what my wishes were and how to select a cruise. There was constant follow up and the cruise was booked. Two weeks before I was due to join the cruise I became very Iill in Hong Kong and had to cancel. Six months later Iwe booked again for a different cruise. Again the same personal service followed up with an international call in my time zone checking details. Also originally I had asked if they could recommend a travel agent to organise our land trip. We received the same or of service from that operator
