Peter Sommer Travels Traveller Reviews

Trip around Sicily viewing archaeological sites and tasting Sicilian cuisine and wines

We were looked after extremely well, guided carefully and with great information about all the sites we visited and food we ate.

We spent a week in Athens leading up to the Orthodox Easter celebrations. We explored some important classical sites in and around Athens,, and we observed the religious ceremonies of Easter week, as well as some excellent practical sessions decorating pottery and cooking.

The holiday arrangements were top notch. The hotel was excellent and in a perfect location, The guides both came from Athens and knew the city and region extremely well. Furthermore, they were both experts, one in the field of classical Greece and the other in Byzantine architecture. We could not have had a better team.

Excellent throughout. Everything was organised well and the guides were brilliant .

Our 2-week Peter Sommer Travels Tour "Exploring the Peloponnese" was a surprising and wonderful introduction to the history and natural beauty of this area of the Greek mainland. We were accommodated in excellent hotels in beautiful surroundings, introduced to the complexity and variety of Greek history from the Bronze Age to the present day, tasted a huge variety of delicious local food and wine, and were amazed by the gorgeous green and colorful spring scenery.

Peter Sommer Travels is a meticulous operator that pays great attention to all the details that make a tour enjoyable and trouble free. The quality of their guides is outstanding, and the choice of hotels and restaurants was excellent.

Well organised, interesting, different. Good fun with interesting activities.

Very efficient

Lovely weather and colorful spring wildflowers enhanced the stunning archaeological sites. The warm and friendly reception at great hotels and restaurants complemented the expertise and deep knowledge of our guides. Our always thoughtful bus driver was exceptional and kept his bus immaculate. Greek food was varied, healthy, colorful and delicious.

Well organized, with flexibility to make appropriate changes where necessary. The pre-trip advice and information provided was useful, comprehensive and up-to-date. Consideration was given to the individual needs and challenges of participants at all times.

We spent two weeks exploring Greek, Roman, Norman, and Byzantine sites and learning about the many layers of culture in Sicily. The experience was fantastic! Our expert guides led us through Sicily's history, beginning with its pre-historic sites and taking us through subsequent layers of culture through Greek, Roman, Norman, Byzantine, and European conquests.

Peter Sommer. com has a great staff. Because it is a small organization, we knew who to contact as we were planning the trip. When Covid reared its ugly head again in the winter and we were contemplating cancelling, Peter himself called to talk to us about the situation. We are so glad we went. Tour guides were fantastic and the whole experience was very enjoyable.
