Peter Sommer Travels

Peter Sommer Travels is a multi-award-winning specialist tour operator offering expert-led cultural holidays that are truly inspirational and stimulating. We offer a highly professional and personal approach with all our holidays to Italy, Turkey, Greece, Croatia, Montenegro and the UK. We are 9-times winner of The AITO Tour Operator of the Year award having won 4 Gold, 4 Silver and 1 Platinum award since 2015.

A small family run travel company, founded in 2002, our holidays to Italy feature a two-week Exploring Sicily tour, a one-week gastronomic tour of eastern Sicily from Syracuse to Taormina, a one-week tour of Campania including Pompeii, Herculaneum & Paestum and we also offer what we consider the definitive expert-led tour of Rome. We also offer bespoke add-on and private tours in Sicily and mainland Italy.

On our escorted tours, we take only small groups of like-minded people, travelling in an easy-going, informal style. Alongside our scheduled tours, we also offer tailor-made gulet charters and private land tours. Our carefully crafted journeys will take you to some of the world’s best preserved ancient ruins and cultural sites, with a friendly and knowledgeable expert guide ready to bring their history to life.

Our expert-led cultural and archaeological tours are led by guides who are true specialists – archaeologists, historians and travel writers – natural enthusiasts steeped in the history and culture of these countries. We choose our tour guides not just because they are extremely knowledgeable, but because they are great communicators and friendly hosts. Peter Sommer Travels is a member of The Specialist Travel Association for independent and specialist holiday companies (AITO), The Association of British Travel Organisers to Italy (ABTOI) and the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA). We are also a member of ABTA.

Areas we specialise in: Campania, Emilia Romagna, Sicily.
