Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
As always, great service and everything exactly as booked. Thank you Ellis.
Ryan always helpful thanks
When there was an issue with our accommodation Joe quickly sourced a nearby alternative. Then sadly my wife had to go into hospital but I know that I have Jamie and Joe helping from the UK
Very satisfied, thank you
Ivor's attention to detail was excellent - a pleasure dealing with him and the team
Always great service
Excellent communication with Nick Beattie and when we had to change our return flight he made it seamless. We'll certainly be using DialAFlight again
Even when we had issues these were handled quickly and well.
Rebecca was phenomenal from start to finish. I have vocally shared my experience on LinkedIn with friends, colleagues and connections in the same industry as myself.
Thank you for your help in arranging our flights to Phuket with a few days in Singapore. All went very smoothly.
So helpful and professional
Andrew gave me excellent advice on everything I was worried about as an older person.
Super and outstanding service as always. Can't praise you enough. Highly recommendable.
We were not expecting to have to pay for entertainment on a seven-hour flight on Fly Dubai, which offered very limited service in cramped conditions.
Thank you so much to Nicole and the team at DialAFlight. Everything was perfect with excellent communication and organisational skills.
All worked according to plan, no problems, excellent personal service
As always Philippa's service was excellent. Bali flights were on time with no hanging around when changing flights. Would be lost without her.
This is an amazing company and I have already told so many of my friends and family. They are all using DialAFlight for their perfect service.
No issues with Ray his usual efficient self.
Would not recommend Cathay connection times in Hong Kong.
Harry was, as always, very helpful, professional and knowledgeable.
Long time between flights meant 9 hours in Singapore airport, extended to 11 with delays.
Great service from Billy Gardner
My only criticism is that the DAF team should have had better info about Singapore Airlines A380 business class seating, which is seriously awful and frankly a disgrace for the money.
BA are the worst national carrier. Flight going out late, business class like sardines, food on menu not available, staff lacking pride in their job.
Have used your services for many years and you never let us down. Amazing as always.
Would definitely book again
Excellently planned trip and great communication throughout. Shelley was really helpful and I would definitely recommend DialAFlight to friends.
Every time you come good
Excellent service all round
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.
