From archaeological adventures on land to expert led gulet cruises and private charters, we like to think
we offer the very finest cultural tours and holidays – but we are always trying to improve.
Our clients come from very different walks of life and age groups. We’re delighted that many come back to travel
on our escorted historical tours and small group cruises again and again. We feel that their testimonials
describe who we are and what we do far better than we ever could. Here’s a small selection.
Cruising The Aegean: A Family Adventure
"The holiday of a life time - our gulet adventure in the Dodecanese Greek Islands was without a doubt our
favourite family trip."
Suzy Lautze, Oregon, USA
Gulet Charter in Greece
"Our gulet cruise from Kos to Patmos was everything and more than expected. It lived up to the Peter Sommer
Travels' emphasis on culture, history, archaeology, comfort and camaraderie."
Brian Thiel, Virginia, USA
Cruising The Aegean: From Kos To Patmos
"What a wonderful experience! The two tour leaders who were archaeologists enthralled us with the history of
the Islands. The food was bountiful. "
Janet Callaghan, WA, Australia
Cruising To The Cyclades
"Peter Sommer runs a a highly professional organization. From his brochure to drop off at the airport to fly
home his attention to detail and his consideration for his clients is superb. The archaeologists he uses as
guides are erudite but highly personable and have an ability to turn a pile of stones into a recreation of
the lives of the people who lived there over two millennia ago. Excellent."
Adrien Gordon, Christchurch, New Zealand
Cruising The Dodecanese
"This was our fourth trip with Peter Sommer Travels and it lived up to our very high expectations. It was a
wonderfully organized trip with beautiful cruising and swimming spots, great hikes, and fascinating lectures
on the region and history. The ship was beautiful, comfortable, and excellently crewed. The guide was
wonderfully informed and participated enthusiastically in all the activities. A shout-out also to the local
guides who each brought their own perspective. Excellent."
Jordana Wilson, DC, USA
Walking And Cruising Southern Dalmatia
"This was the first time I had travelled with Peter Sommer Travels. The company specialises in expert-led
cultural and gulet tours in Europe. Group numbers are small, accommodation comfortable and food excellent.
The expert guide who accompanied us was outstanding - passionate, informative, engaging and entertaining.
The itinerary was very well thought out, combining leisure time with activity and not-to-be-missed
opportunities to swim in the Adriatic sea off the gulet. The client is obviously at the heart of the
itinerary planning, and attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend this company to
anyone wanting a fun, relaxed, educational holiday with fine food - they will deliver!"
Patricia Partridge, Isle of Wight, UK
Exploring The Peloponnese
"The combination of the archaeology, the food and wine experiences, the swimming
and the generally relaxed atmosphere made for a very enjoyable tour. There was a
high attention to detail. Our main tour guide was
very enthusiastic and highly qualified. Excellent."
Robert Parsons, Victoria, Australia
