Tours in the UK

Our new tours in the UK are the result of several years of intense work by our dedicated in-house team of archaeologists and historians. Although Peter Sommer Travels is justly famed for our tours in the Mediterranean, each of the core members of our company studied and trained in the history and archaeology of the ancient world in the British Isles, and many of our first encounters with the ancient world were made here. From our base in Monmouthshire we have travelled the length and breadth of these island nations, and are hugely excited at the prospect of introducing you to the wonderful archaeological and historical sites across these lands, the superb hotels, and the delicious food and drink on offer from award-winning local producers.
Bringing together all of the elements that have made our Exploring tours so popular in Greece and Italy, these tours will be the perfect introduction to these lands, whether you have been a regular visitor, or will be travelling here for the first time.
If you are interested in making use of our experience and knowledge of these regions, but the dates of our tours do not match with your travel plans, please contact our office. As with all of our tours, we are able to customise and adapt our itineraries to create bespoke trips to fit around your own schedule. We hope to see you all soon on one of these wonderful tours!

This tour visited the remains of several Roman forts and museums along Hadrian's Wall in northern England, from the most western to most eastern terminus of the Wall. We also visited castles, a priory and an Abbey and learned their connection to the history of the area. Hiking along the Wall at various locations was exciting (a bit of rain made us feel we truly were in England) and gave us a chance to enjoy the lovely green countryside. A particular highlight of this tour was seeing the ongoing archaeological excavation at Vindolanda and witnessing a 2000 year old Roman shoe pulled minutes earlier from the anaerobic mud that had preserved it all those years.

The only thing that exceeded the depth of knowledge imparted to me on this tour was the depth of ignorance that I possessed prior to it. I cannot compliment Peter Sommer Travels enough on a well-planned itinerary and on the expertise of the two tour leaders, Paul Beston and Michael Metcalfe. The accommodations, the dining and the drinking experiences were superb and the choice of the historical and cultural venues was excellent. Both Paul and Michael excelled at elucidating the history of the Wessex region and made the learning experience both enriching and entertaining. Enjoyed every minute.
