Cruising to Ephesus.

Our gullet cruise from Bodrum to Ephesus was superb in everyway, it was a wonderful experience never to be forgotten. This was a very well planned and organised tour of the highest quality. The gulet was magnificent, very comfortable and in top condition.

Our gullet cruise from Bodrum to Ephesus was superb in everyway, it was a wonderful experience never to be forgotten. This was a very well planned and organised tour of the highest quality. The gulet was magnificent, very comfortable and in top condition. The crew worked very hard to make the trip safe and carefree, we appreciate their attention to detail, willingness to help guests, and their politeness and good humour. The preparation and service of three substantial meals a day was at five-star level. It was also a great introduction to Turkish cuisine, and we will take some recipes home to try. Our guide, Peter Sommer, took us to amazing ancient sites, museums and cultural experiences, his knowledge, professionalism and courtesy made our trip extra special. As an archaeological tour, it offered in-depth visits to spectacular sites in the area. Our Turkish guide was also very interesting to talk to and to listen to his stories about his country. The investment in this tour was well worth the experience, the stylish way of travel, meeting people from around the world, and experiencing the Aegean Sea first hand.

Peter Sommer Travels offers specialist archaeology and culinary tours, our tour via gulet along the Turkish coast was very well organised and ran according to plan. The guides, gulet, crew, transfers, site visits, meals and swimming stops were all exceeded expectations. They are a very professional operator.

Magnificent!

The Kos to Patmos tour brought together travellers from the Uk, Italy and North America, who visited the beautiful Dodecanese islands aboard a comfortable Turkish gulet where the crew treated us courteously and treated us to the most bountiful meals. The historic sites and rich culture were enhanced by our outstanding lecturer Dr. Spivey and our tour leader Dr. Girtzi who engaged us with lectures and steeped us in the culture of these Greek islands...

The Kos to Patmos tour brought together travellers from the Uk, Italy and North America, who visited the beautiful Dodecanese islands aboard a comfortable Turkish gulet where the crew treated us courteously and treated us to the most bountiful meals. The historic sites and rich culture were enhanced by our outstanding lecturer Dr. Spivey and our tour leader Dr. Girtzi who engaged us with lectures and steeped us in the culture of these Greek islands. The vistas, the sites, the excellent weather, the amazing staff aboard our ship, the food and wine, the archaeological sites, the lectures and the company if like-minded travellers made for an extraordinary trip!!

Rating for tour operator:

Peter Sommer Tours clearly goes out of its way to find excellent ships and crews, ensures wonderfully bountiful meals, exceptional wines, careful organization at the hands If his your leader, and secures outstanding lecturers. Dr. Nigel Spivey, a Classicist who specializes in ancient art and archaeology, is a renowned specialist in his field and to have the opportunity to learn from him while enjoying the carefully chosen sites of the Dodecanese was a privilege. Peter Sommer has found a niche in creating tours which engage both the mind with lectures and conversation, and the soul with peaceful cruising among beautiful vistas.

Cruising to the Cyclades by JED, 20 Sep 2024

The best and most perfect holiday ever!

Everything was spot on - the transfer vehicles, the boat, accommodation, food, service, the itinerary, the guides, the structure of the tour, the information, the meals on board and out, the camaraderie, spending a couple of hours in a charming hotel rather than a gruesome airport at the end of the trip was a brilliant touch - thoughtful and not something I expected.

Cruising the Carian Coast - M2A by Cruising RM, 18 Sep 2024
Holiday Rating:

An outstanding tour with a master historian with an outstanding ability to engage and enthuse underpinned by superb organisation ganisation, facilities and food.

We cruised the Carian Coast for a week in an outstanding gulet, well crewed with a cuisine to match. The places we visited were very well chosen and Peter Sommer was as usual a brilliant guide.

Peter Sommer whose unique gift is to be able to impart fascinating history and events in a way all can understand and relate to was, as usual outstanding. The company's whole organisation from initial contact right through to being deposited at my hotel in Bodrum at the end was flawless. I cannot rate this, my fourth trip with Peter Sommer Travels highly enough. I hope to go again!
