Walking & Cruising Western Lycia Traveller Reviews

Following a full written briefing before departure we were delighted to have our expectations more than fulfilled. High quality service with food and events to match

A family business clearly dedicated to providing detailed service and a quality product

I thoroughly enjoyed the trip from start to finish. Planning and execution were exceptional. I also thought that a good balance was achieved between some fairly taxing hikes and rest and relaxation on the beautiful gulet.

Peter Sommer Travels is an extremely well run small company. They clearly love what they do and excel at it. Their organization and attention to detail is faultless. And I will recommend them whenever I can.

A week on a beautiful wooden ship on the southern coast of Turkey. Accompanied by a guide - who was an experienced archaeologist we visited a range of sites and had some lovely walks.

Well organised and professional.

A great way to learn about the history of Turkey. Staying on the Gulet was a great experience as we cruised the coast of Turkey. The accomodation was superb along with the food. Walking the Lycian trail was fantastic and you were able to get some exercise on your holiday including a nice swim after your hikes. Peter and Cem were very knowledgeable on the history, great presenters and awesome hosts. I will definetely search out more of these types of trips with Peter and Cem.

Peter has extensive knowledge in history. His presentation skills are some of the best I have seen, as he keeps it interesting and keeps you engaged. Hospitality is second to none. He is also very flexible to ensure everyones needs are met! Cem is also very knowledgable, accomodating and a great host.

Our Group of longtime friends included four couples from various parts of Western Canada. We met our Travel Director (Peter Sommer) and his Gulet crew in Gocek along with seven other travelers from the UK, USA and Australia. We set out on our adventure of walking & cruising the Lycian Coastline. Each morning we would wake up to a fantastic Turkish breakfast prepared by the Gulet Chef and Crew along with freshly squeezed fruit juices and brewed coffee. After breakfast we set out on that day's adventure of exploring the endless number of Archeological sites found along or close to the coast. The entire trip was 5+++ stars. We wanted for nothing and owe allot of that to Peter's meticulous planning and his choice of Gulet and crew.

Peter Sommer's knowledge and passion for the history and archeological significance of Turkey is unmatched by any other Tour Guide we have travelled with. He was truly a pleasure to travel with and learn from.

From first arriving on the Gulet to the hikes and meals, we had a great time. The guides and crew did everything to make sure the trip was fun and entertaining. The color of the Meditteranian was just like the pictures and to be able to swim everyday was great. The hikes and history were also great, hard to fathom how old some of the sites were when coming from North America, we having nothing to compare to the history of Turkey. One of the high lights was when the sails were up and we enjoyed the sun and the wind.

Seriously knowledgable, very professional and did everything they could to make the trip the great success it was

This was an extremely well-planned trip. The Lycian Way is a beautiful and rugged landscape with breath-taking views and superb archeological sites along the way. The trip was a good blend of walking, site visits, relaxing and swimming. The gulet was very comfortable and spacious, fabulous food and great company in our fellow travellers and guides. Peter really brought the places we visited to life and nothing beats having a guide with excellent local knowledge of the area. Peter and Cem are a great team! One of our best holidays ever.

A thoroughly professional and well-organised company. Good information in the brochure. The itineraries are well thought out and the guides superb.

A superb and fascinating trip to many beautiful archaeological sites in Western Lycia. Peer Sommer's trip was perfectly organized and executed. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and professional. Our accommodations aboard the Gulet were excellent and the food was superb. I highly recommend this tour and Peter Sommer Travels.

An archaeologist who brought the rich history of this region to life.
