From Split to Dubrovnik Traveller Reviews

See below

We posted an average review of this cruise due the air conditioning not working. Peter contacted us directly several times apologising for the maintenance issue. He generously gave us a partial refund goodwill gesture on our cruise and assured us that this issue would not happen again. Therefore, since we enjoyed all other aspects of this trip, we revise our review to Excellent.

Our group of six friends sailed on The Croatia gullet with Peter Sommer Travels. There were four other people on the boat who quickly became part of the gang. The crew was led by Captain Vladimir and our expert guide was Helena Tomas. The Croatia crew and Helena were wonderful. Helena is an expert on the history and archeology of the region. There were also local guides for our group at each location. The food was excellent and plentiful. Our cabin (number 3) was very comfortable. The Croatia is very spacious and comfortable with room for you to congregate with your group or have a space to yourself on deck. We were able to swim in the Adriatic every day...usually twice a day. We had perfect weather. Our itinerary was Split to Dubrovnik in June 2018. We talked so much about this trip that other friends of ours are going on this same adventure in June 2019. We would do the same trip again if we could, but we are expecting a new grand baby in June. A new grand baby is a once in a lifetime event for sure, but this trip ranks right up there.

All paperwork was handled quickly and easily with good communication.

This is my third trip with Peter Sommer, the tours never disappoint, the excellent standard of the guides, accommodation, food and general ambience of the boat and fellow passengers. Onshore excursions were of the highest standard.

Peter Sommer tours are of the highest standard, the numbers are small, accommodation, food and guides are excellent, leading up to tour Peter Sommer keeps you informed regarding pickup etc.

We joined a small number of travellers on a 30m gulet to explore the islands in the Dalmation coast for 1 week. An experienced and knowledgable guide provided good insight to the archeology and history of the region, while the crew and chef looked after us very well.

Peter Sommer operates small gulet based history and archeoligical orientated in the Eastern Mediterrain. We have been on three trios so far, Turkey, Greek islands and Dalmatian coast.

7 day gullet cruise, archeology focus, but mostly fun, sun, swimming, good friends focus. Perfect mix of learning, and relaxing. We traveled with 6 friends, other 4 travel companions delightful.

Easy to work with, responsive to our desires. Excellent guide.

We left Trogir on Saturday, June 2nd and over the next week sailed to Split, Brac, Vis, Korcula, Mljet and finally to Dubrovnik. In small but interesting cities we visited archeological sites and musuems with our Guide, Helena, who has her doctorate from Oxford and with a local guide in each town and city. Each day we sailed to a new and even more beautiful place, anchoring at night in a protected bay or cove so we could swim and have a quiet night. Meals on board and in restaurants were 5 Star. Crew was top flight. Arrangements perfect. We had a great group of guests from far and wide. Everything was done in the most professional manner so we could just enjoy ourselves. Which we did.

This is my second Peter Sommers gilet cruise. Even better than the first which was awesome and brought me back. Peter Sommers makes sure every detail in every port is done perfectly. He chooses very highly qualified and doctorate level professional guides who bring history to life.

We traveled as a group of 6 great friends! We learned the history of Croatia and in fact the longitudinal history of the of our world, prehistorical times till present. We toured islands of Croatia. We ate like kings and queens. We swam in the warm caressing Adriatic Sea every day. We enjoyed time with our friends and spouses. We had fine Croatianwine! Need anything else need to be said.

Helena was fabulous! Knowledgeable,kind, considerate and efficient. We would love to request her again.

This was a superb holiday cruising the coast of Dalmatia in a gulet with an expert guide showing us archaeological sites on the islands off the coast, and local guides taking us round Dubrovnik and Split. Perfect number of guests (8), comfortable accommodation, gourmet meals and opportunity for swimming off the boat, relaxation on board, and an opportunity to learn through our knowledgeable and engaging guides. The best way to see Croatia is by sea, and our Peter Sommer tour exceeded all expectations with its well thought out itinerary, attention to detail, balance of activity and leisure, relaxed atmosphere and good fun. Much credit is due to all ground staff, guides and gulet crew for a perfect holiday.

This was the first time I had travelled with Peter Sommer. The company specialises in expert - led cultural and gulet tours in Europe. Group numbers are small, accommodation comfortable and food excellent. The expert guide who accompanied us was outstanding - passionate, informative, engaging and entertaining. The itinerary was very well thought out, combining leisure time with activity and not-to-be-missed opportunities to swim in the Adriatic sea off the gulet. The client is obviously at the heart of the itinerary planning, and attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a fun, relaxed, educational holiday with fine food -they will deliver!

Although the archaeological focus of our trip encourages like-minded vacationers to sign up, our group of four couples turned out to be super compatible, enhancing the trip for each of us. The intimate gullet trip was wonderful. Weather cooperated; swimming off the gullet was good, if cool; and meals were delicious: fresh, local, and varied. Our guides were knowledgeable and lively, sharing the history of Croatia, both ancient and modern. Our guides' personal stories of the 1991-1995 war were tragic, but they shed light on this horrible war. I highly recommend this trip and hope to sign up for another trip in the future.

Peter Sommer Travels organized and led us on an excellent trip. Everything went smoothly. Their knowledge of the boats, the crew, the ports, the restaurants, and the land transports was top-notch. The guide who was with us throughout was especially expert.

Fantastic in all regards! Great itinerary, guides and food!

Excellent in all regards!
