Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Connection outbound too long. Should have been on an earlier flight. Return was almost too short - they told us to run!
Excellent flight choice - perfect timing, amazing hotel, superb all round
Gino booked flights and hotels for a 2 centre stay in Mexico and gave us suggestions for things to do. Had the most amazing time, hotels were excellent and locations great. We could not have done it ourselves at the price
Brilliant as usual. And thank you to Julie Harris! The food was really excellent on the flight!
Keep up the great work
Russell was incredibly helpful and ensured everything was set for me ahead of my trip!
Singapore pick up was a bit hectic as we couldn't find our driver. It would he helpful to know that as soon as you come out of customs you are in the arrivals hall and need to turn to the left where the pick up drivers wait.
As efficient as always!
As usual, great service
The return flight from Doha was akin to being in a zoo
Friendly responsive and efficient
EvaAir flight was extremely cold. Complained to no avail .
Roy and his team gave us a first class service as always
Perfect service from booking and leading up to our trip of a lifetime. Nothing was too much trouble and we will definitely continue to use you.
Big thank you to Lily who arranged our trip to Phuket this year. She has been amazing and have already booked our holiday for 2026 with her.
This is the second time we have used DialAFlight. I must say the service from Colin Barlow has been exceptional. He is extremely professional and friendly and is the reason why we will continue to use DialAFlight for future holidays.
Great trip, thanks
Micky and team always reliable
Rob great as usual - thanks to everyone
Thank you for your help. Looking forward to the next booking
Edward was always helpful and advised us of all changes
We have had the best holiday. Luke couldn’t have chosen better - location and hotels were first class. I couldn’t be happier with the service
I love the support DialAFlight provides and I like being able to quickly sort flights with a real person who can see the best value ones.
Exceeded all expectations ... best holiday ever. Thank you Sam Nott
The 24/7 out of hours team were very helpful and made what was a stressful situation a lot easier and got us home.
Would it be possible to ensure that e-ticket numbers are provided on documentation as we needed these to check in and had to call the out of hours number to get the numbers. Otherwise excellent - Sean was really helpful and was able to rebook us onto a sooner flight when ours was delayed.
We always get good value for money
We were very grateful for Christian's expertise and swift response to all our questions during the booking process
Inside Japan were outstanding and our guide, Finn Sands-Davies, was superb.
All good. Thanks
A huge photo of King Charles stares down from a wall at the wildlife sanctuary on the island of Bohol in the Philippines. He's captured cradling a tiny, fluffy creature called a tarsier - an endangered monkey-like animal.
One of the main reason tarsiers, which can live to the grand old age of 24, are endangered is because they get stressed by loud noises and human contact.
So it is with reverential silence that we tip-toe through the beautiful Bohol rainforest, marvelling at the Yoda-like stares aimed at us from the bamboo thickets.
The Philippines has more than 7,000 islands - 20 per cent inhabited - and most edged by white sand and clear blue seas. The eastern beaches are pounded by the Pacific Ocean, making them popular with surfers, while the western resorts attract divers.
But after flying 18 hours to get here, you can't just fritter away your holiday on the beach. Where to start though? The island of Boracay is said to be the place to go for nightlife and kitesurfing. Then there's El Nido - a cluster of 45 islands chock full of glorious turquoise lagoons.
But Bohol is my pick. It's a 90-minute flight from Manila with the flight path going over an eye-catching 20sq mile expanse of giant cone-shaped hills, proudly proclaimed to be 'the eighth natural wonder of the world'. These are nicknamed the Chocolate Hills for the brown colour the grass turns during the dry season.
Arriving just before dawn, we watch the sun rise over these strange and captivating treeless hillocks from a viewing platform. It is a silent, deserted, ethereal experience.
Later that day, we chug down Loboc River in a floating restaurant. Think more rickety sheds lashed to rafts rather than retractable glass ceilings.
Your £13 ticket seats you at an all-you-can-eat Filipino buffet of piquant adobo curries, pork belly, grilled fish, rice, noodles, fresh mango and sticky rice cake desserts.
Each boat has its resident crooner, too. Ours looks about 14 but packs an impressive baritone and sings convincing Frank Sinatra covers accompanied by an equally adept youngster on guitar.
Dolly tells us that when the Spanish colonised the Philippines in the 16th Century, they brought Christianity. Hymn-singing forms a central part of the school curriculum and youngsters are big music fans.
During a break in the performance comes a surprise: blood-curdling screams from a zipline 400ft above our heads, which launches fearless tourists a quarter of a mile across the river valley.
But I choose a calmer pursuit: paddle boarding. It is fun, especially when Dolly swiftly reassures me that the river is devoid of crocodiles and piranhas.
Island-hopping on one of the many white wooden outrigger boats is another joy. These take you through beautifully clear seawater along the quiet coast.
The Filippino tourist board is keen to project an image of its country being a super-luxury destination to rival Thailand. Yet, wandering along the sandy Alona Beach, it's down-to-earth, non-flashy, with hour-long foot massages available for just £5.
On the final night, I try the street food - pavements here are buzzing with vendors grilling tantalising-looking skewers over hot coals. 'What are those?' I ask, pointing. 'Deep-fried chicken feet,' the stallholder says.
'And those?' The reply? 'Grilled slabs of chicken blood.'
Playing it safe, I reach for what looks like a hard-boiled egg. But it's balut - a ready-to-hatch duck embryo waiting inside.
Some of the culinary creations on Bohol may require an acquired taste, but I would defy anyone not to be enthralled by this unspoilt island.
