Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Perfect holiday as always. Smooth. No stress
Beautiful place and people were friendly and respectful.
Having had a taste of Prague, it would be nice to have a longer stay (perhaps a week or two), especially at the same hotel.
A week in Puglia, wonderfully organised by Karl as always
Michelle has always been first class and when she is away is very well supported. We recommend DialAFlight to our friends, who are equally impressed.
I gave your agent all my requirements - she found the holiday and everything was perfect. Very pleased with your service.
I could not imagine a more helpful or efficient oganisation, Always a pleasure to deal with
Fantastic hotel - excellent service - good value
Everything worked exactly as planned!
Kylie should be your next CEO
Always excellent service
Always good service
Always great service.
Very efficient and nice to deal with
We had poor service from our local travel agent and spent almost two days trying to get through to BA and BA Holidays. We then called DialAFlight and Patrick answered the phone immediately and a few hours later a complete package holiday with transfers and business class seats had been booked. BA then cancelled the early morning flight and offered a late evening flight. Patrick informed the hotel and transfer so the driver was there for arrival after midnight in Nice and he booked a room with seaview and balcony. So a wonderful holiday
Always excellent and proactive
DialAFlight is a great company to rely on. I feel secure with my travels and very confident.
Manny delivers, always.
All was very good. Just a tiny blip at Palma airport where we needed to know that the Centauro hire car location was not at the airport. A note with the hire car details would have been helpful. Everything alse went very well. Thank you to Callum who did the booking.
Always to hand, always so helpful. Tell them what you want and they’ll tailor a trip to suit. Have used DialAFlight on long haul multi destination trips as well as a week R&R in Europe. Fantastic. Would only use DialAFlight now
Thank you for your friendly and helpful service. Spot on as usual.
Very easy to book and just made it so much easier than searching for hours to put a holiday together. And we paid much less than others for our hotel
Going to always use DialAFlight. Excellent service and follow up.
Emma was, as always, helpful and efficient. We love being able to phone and deal with a human being.
Rob was very efficient as always and the communication was spot on!
Top marks, as usual.
We were surprised at a 49 euros charge per person when checking in at hotel.
All requests were carried out efficiently
As always, Michelle and her team performed perfectly. There were problems but they were entirely due to Swiss Air/ ZRH rather than at this end. So it has made me rethink my choice of Swiss Air/ZRH but I will continue to depend on DialAFlight for all my travel arrangements, that’s for sure.
Very good - again!
The Mediterranean city of Valencia has an astounding cathedral, brilliant beaches, renaissance churches, some of the most striking modern architecture in Europe, fabulous seafood and gutsy red wine.
The locals are intensely proud of their city, culture and language, a form of Catalan called Valencian.
They might not shout about it as loudly as the Barcelonians, but perhaps that's because some might say their city is - whisper it - even better than Barcelona.
Who needs the whorls of Gaudi's Sagrada Familia when you've got the spiralled columns of the city's gothic Silk Exchange? Even paella was invented here.
After the River Turia flooded disastrously in 1957, the government diverted its waters. Now the wide green riverbed snakes through the city, providing 9km of parkland and a home for the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, an eruption of futuristic pavilions, lakes, an Imax cinema, aquarium and botanic gardens.
All of this is overlooked by the tallest opera house in the world, Santiago Calatrava's steel and concrete Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia, an ancient Greek helmet-shaped building.
Take a glass of wine on the breeze-cooled palm terrace before the opera or come back on Friday evening when music students from the nearby Berklee College of Music, the first international campus of the Boston-based college, give free concerts from April to October on a floating stage in the lake.
Valencia cathedral and the Micalet bell tower are must-sees, but be sure to look up when you are inside the cathedral.
The windows are filled with inch-thin alabaster instead of glass. This makes for a spectral interior rendered even more eerie by the presence of Francisco Goya's 1788 painting St Francis Borgia At The Deathbed Of An Impenitent, where a figure of Christ on the crucifix spurts blood on to a sinner.
Step into the cathedral's Holy Grail chapel, home to a revered silver chalice which, as it dates to the 1st century AD, might just be the real thing.
You'll find modern art at the Institut Valencia d'Art Modern (El Ivam) and El Greco paintings at the El Patriarca museum.
The city is famous for its ceramics and tiles, a tradition that dates back to the long years of Moorish rule. But you'll also find Picasso's work at The National Museum of Ceramics in Ciutat Vella, housed in a baroque palazzo with the most famous decorated doorway in Spain.
Go to the marvellous antiguedades shop on Corretgeria street, where there are tiles in geometric patterns, or line drawings of doves from the 19th century and earlier.
After taking in the Napoleonic-era shell marks in the ancient masonry of the Ciutat Vella's Porta de Serrans, have a restorative pitcher of Agua de Valencia. The madly baroque Cafe de las Horas, in Comte d'Almodovar street, serves this super-charged drink with cava and spirits. There are also non-alcoholic cocktails. And cake!
Like Barcelona, Valencia has a famous city shoreline, but you'll find fewer people on Malvarrosa Beach, a 15-minute bus or tram ride from the city centre.
Casa Carmela, set back from the Malvarrosa Beach, is the place for paella. Locals favour the rabbit offal, snails and chicken paella cooked on open fire pits.
Take a morning cafe solo in the Estacion Del Norte, one of Europe's best-preserved art nouveau railway stations, and marvel at the ceramic fruits hanging from columns and tile murals.
Just over 100 years old, Estacion Del Norte stands like a north African fort beside the city's brick bullring.
There has been a resurgence in local cuisine, with new takes on staples such as hake and pork.
The Mercat de Colon is a gastronomic destination with restaurants including Habitual, run by Michelin-starred chef Ricard Camarena.
In the Ruzafa quarter, the enthusiastic staff of 2 Estaciones serve tuna with peanuts, muscatel, lime and watermelon - and Valencian wine to make it zing.
