Peter Sommer Travels Traveller Reviews

Our gulet cruise along the Lycian coast was the second Peter Sommer tour we have taken. Like the first one, we loved the mix of archaeology as explained by our expert guide, the delicious traditional Turkish food, the swimming and the camaraderie of our group of eleven fellow travellers. we will definitely consider further Peter Sommer tours.

Peter Sommer Travels is efficient, helpful and employs high quality guides.

An exciting city to visit brought to life by enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides. The history, architecture and artefacts made interesting and accessible while the wonderful organisation made the experience trouble free. Each day was a new treat with something different to discover while enjoying fantastic meals and good company to share the experience with.

Everything was taken care of so all we had to do was enjoy the holiday. They were always there to answer questions and the information we were given was most helpful and comprehensive.

We were a group of nine (six adults and three pre-teens) who just spent the most amazing 7 days on a gulet visiting the Carian Coast. The trip included something for everyone and was amazingly tailored to satisfy the wishes and desires of everyone in our party.

We are looking forward to our next opportunity to sail/tour with Peter Sommer Travels. We do not want to use any other tour operator for this region and for a mediterranean sailing/boating experience.

The Holiday was really great, lots of visit to the Greek ruins, good swimming and relaxing on board of the Salmakis Gulet. The Turkish food and service is excellent. Many pictures and no noise. Very peaceful.

The charter was perfectly organized with very friendly staff on board and Peter who is a great archaeological guide at the same time. He made us visit some very special sites where nobody go's with stones and ruins to visit. Lots of walking but great to digest the Delicious Turkish food we received.

An archaeogogical/historical based tour of Crete which combines expert and highly entertaining tours, accommodation in unique hotels in fabulous locations and amazing food.

Extremely friendly, efficient service from all concerned. Everyone in the company is prepared to take every effort to ensure satisfaction with the tours they offer

The combination of our beautiful gleaming gullet, a totally professional crew, a talented chef producing exquisite yet simple dishes, our lovely tour operator Cem and our scholar guide Olivier Henri who led us into the magic of the ancient world with his charm and humour was a rare privilege. An archeologist Olivier has his own dig at Labraunda which we visited. It was a very special day indeed. We were offered a table of food prepared by the caretakers wife from their own produce, delicious. Cem took us to deserted bays to swim every day, when there was wind the sails went up and we gently sailed along the beautiful coastline. Once we stopped at a conservation site and watched the wild horses coming down to the beach. All the sites were fascinating, Priene the pretty ancient Greek town on a ledge in the Meander valley, the temple at Didyma, and so much more ending of course at Ephesus, a jewel indeed. Every night one's head was reeling with what wone had seen and heard. What more can I say? I shall never forget it. I may do a degree in the classical world.

Cem was a brilliant tour operator. He was quietly efficient, everything was organised seamlessly, you never noticed he was working. Cem is a charming, helpful, lovely man. A diplomat, intelligent and good company a great person to have around. He inspired everyone with confidence, we were in safe hands. Thanks Cem.

An amazing trip in all respects. The guides were knowledgable and fun. The islands were steeped in history, the museums and ruins were fantastic, the architecture and vistas were breathtakingly beautiful, the food was superb with each meal a dining experience. The ship was comfortable and a very much a part of the adventure. Would highly recommend this trip.

This trip was very well organized from start to finish. The pretrip information packet was very informative. Transportation to and from airports was efficient, the ship was very comfortable . The trip itself was very well planned. The guides were knowledgable and very personable. No complaints.
