Peter Sommer Travels Traveller Reviews

Peter Sommer’s delivered the Croatia Gastronomic Gulet Cruise as advertised! Everything was perfect. I was so impressed with the schedule and organization of the tour. The boat was wonderful, the crew exceptional, the food amazing and our guide Mislav was truly a wonder!

Mislav was an amazing tour guide! He went above and beyond to share his knowledge and love of Croatia. He was a walking encyclopedia and engaged and entertained us with Croatia’s history! He was fun and involved and communicated well with crew, hosts and guests. We thoroughly enjoyed him!

We had a fabulous multigenerational family trip exploring the coast from Gocek to Bodrum. The tour was very well organised and extremely flexible to accommodate us all. Gulet, crew and catering was exceptional. Our guides were knowledgable, friendly, fun and looked after us really well. The itinerary suited our age and interest variations.

Peter Sommer Travels were very helpful prior to booking our tour. The recommended certain gulets and tours they thought would be suitable. Their travel logistics planning and communication were excellent. The guides they employed were fabulous and we wpuld recommend them to anyone.

The tour size was just right, the hotel was outstanding and the local and Peter Sommer guides were not only knowledgeable but were also both approachable and able to impart their knowledge in a way which made it easy to follow. The holiday included not only the obvious sites in Rome but visits outside, and also to less well known but still stunning sites in the city. We also appreciated the many pre-arranged lunches and dinners at quality local restaurants. Overall this was a holiday we shall remember for quite some time.

We like Peter Sommer travels for the care they take in putting their trips together. This was our second holiday with them and it surely won't be the last.

A week to remember for a long time exploring Ancient Rome, from the Colosseum to the catacombs, the Baths of Caracalla to Ostia Antica. Delightful hotel, great tour guides, lovely fellow travellers and excellent food.

Very impressed with the organisation of the tour by Peter Sommer Travel.

We covered the whole of Crete with 2 excellent knowledgeable guides. Archeology was the main focus, but every day we were out to lunch and dinner with a great variety of dishes.. I have sailed in the Greek islands for many years but the Cretan food was a revelation.

Very professional

The tour is an excellent survey of Crete's Minoan era, landscape, primary cities, historical sites, and Cretan food. Very highly recommended.

My Exploring Crete tour of October 2024 was excellent...in fact, the tour was my seventh with PST. The tour guides, Maria and Paul, were totally dedicated to ensuring each traveller was accommodated and satisfied. The tour itinerary provided a much desired familiarity of the Minoan era with stops and engaging discussion on the importance and uniqueness of each site visited.

I thoroughly enjoyed Cruising to the Cyclades. The trip was very well planned. The guides and crew were outstanding. The food and wine were excellent. The trip was a wonderful mixture of relaxation and visits to places of interest with highly knowledgeable and personable guides.

This is my second trip with Peter Sommer and in all respects they are an outstanding travel company. From the moment I made my first inquiry everyone I had contact with they were fantastic. They were highly responsive, paid great attention to detail and nothing was too much trouble. Everything was really well organised. Their prices are good value for money and they make it possible for singles to travel by keeping the single supplement fair and reasonable.

We spent 14 days on a traditional Turkish gulet with 10 other guests, 2 guides and 4 crew. We cruised the Eastern Mediterranean around Gemiler Island, Sidyma, Patara, Pinara, Apollonia, Kekova Island and Ucagiz. We enjoyed wonderful foods prepared by the crew as well as in some local restaurants and with a local family. The tramping was on some rocky/uneven ground but was on the fabulous marked Lycian Way.

We were very pleased with the advance information provided by Peter Sommer Travels , including recommendations on the level of fitness required, items to pack and what to expect in terms of tramping conditions. Everything was accurate and helpful. The booking and payment instructions were easy and the guides were extremely knowledgable and good companions for the entire trip.

This was simply an outstanding holiday!! The ship on which we were treated to the sites/sights along the Lycian Coast, was exceptionally well appointedand the crew were extremely helpful, attentive and focussed on every detail which would make us travellers as comfortable as possible. Our tour guide Eyip was knowledgeable, good-humoured and worked carefully with our lecturer to make sure we enjoyed every element of the archaeological and historical sites. Our lecture was quite simply superb. His lectures, and he treated us to many, were insightful, informative and often very entertaining. The chef prepared exceptionally healthy and delicious meals, never repeating the cuisine from one, an extraordinary feat when looking at twenty different menus! Simply put, the stars aligned to make this tour enjoyable and memorable in all the very best ways!!

Peter Sommer Travels has clearly developed a a series of tours which tempts the traveller to immerse themselves in the archaeological, historical, mythological and cultural wealth of western Lycia in the company of an excellent tour guide and a noted and important Cambridge scholar. This tour was so carefully planned to the smallest detail that any traveller would have had to work hard not to have enjoyed themselves!

Combination of gullet sailing and hiking on the Western Lycian Way in Turkey. Well organised and excellent information about ancient cultures and Turkish history and culture.

Well organised and we felt well looked after. Hiking was strenuous at times and temperatures were hot, but activities were paced well.
