Thank you so much Darren and colleagues for your help to make sure everything ran smoothly for our first holiday in 3 1/2 years. Vietnam was incredible. We absolutely will recommend you and will be contacting you in the next few weeks to organise our Thailand flights.
Graham was brilliant as usual!
Professional and pleasant staff
Always answered the phone - well done
Monika Jain is so professional, efficient and friendly. I completely trust this company and have the utmost confidence that if a problem occurs it will be resolved. I wouldn’t book with anyone else!
Very helpful, can’t fault you
Very, very helpful team. One of our party had to change her date and Trevor and team were hugely supportive and helpful.
Seymour is an absolute asset to your company - he was brilliant!
Callum Patel is a credit to your company - he always makes using DialAflight a true pleasure
All as expected. Good communication.
Very helpful and prompt responses from you as always. I have already recommended you to friends
I have been with DialAFlight for a few years and I am always very happy and satisfied with them. It is the best service and support you can have.
Excellent as always
DialAFlight's arrangements and information provided were second to none. Brilliant service throughout
Patrick was very helpful. I had to rebook quickly because of Coronavirus and he took all the hassle out of booking.
DialAFlight ticks all the boxes. Second time we have used this company and both times we had the same travel manager, Russ. Excellent personal touch. We’re ready to book again
Oscar never fails
I think you have covered all the bases, great holiday, great customer service
Always helpful and professional service
Everything perfect
Had the most fantastic time - all of the hotels were superb and food was of the highest standard. Flights were excellent, but we would avoid the ‘stop offs’ next time. We told everyone about your company and how professionally we were dealt with. Particular thanks to Thomas
Istanbul's new airport is a nightmare - long walk to get to departure gates, many people missing flights. They need a transport system like they have in Paris CDG. I will never fly via Istanbul again. Not your fault but you need to be aware
Great service - flight seats were where I asked
Joel was very helpful and all the flights were as planned and baby seats were all booked making the flights very easy.
Very helpful at all times.
Your staff are superb. Every time they speak to you they know everything about your travel plans and you feel like their only customer
I came back to DialAFlight after a few years of using price comparison sites. Jackson was most attentive and reliable, and found us a deal that was way better than anything I’d seen elsewhere!
When our Cathay Pacific flight was cancelled I spoke to Lee who could not have been more helpful. He advised there were seats to Hong Kong out of Heathrow at 8pm that night and that we should insist on getting seats reserved on there. Cathay Pacific initially advised the flight was full but when I confirmed that DialAFlight advised otherwise they changed their minds. I have been recommending DialAFlight to friends for years.
Always been more than happy with excellent service
Service that was 110%!
In hindsight, spending my first afternoon in Vietnam pounding the busy city streets, visiting every incense-filled pagoda and finishing at the heaving Ben Thanh market in Ho Chi Minh City was a baptism by fire on my first day.
I can’t deny it was a relief when I returned, footsore and weary, to my hotel, the Park Hyatt Saigon - an oasis in that buzzing city.
Huge bouquets of flowers and dazzling chandeliers greeted me in the cool lobby while the luxurious French colonial style rooms featured delightful white wooden shutters and a superbly soft carpet tastefully decorated with a bird motif.
When I woke next morning in the vast and very comfortable bed and delightfully appointed and furnished room I found the whole place exuded relaxation – a feeling that was ramped up when a tiny Vietnamese woman arrived for my massage. She used her knees, elbows and hands to pummel my back. It really was an excellent massage, vigorous but highly relaxing and diffusing knots of tension I hadn't realised I had.
Dinner at the Park Hyatt proved mouthwatering, with salmon tartare, pomello salad, pork with prawn crackers and bread with anchovy tapenade. This was followed by succulent Australian wagyu steak, with puréed potatoes, sweetcorn and asparagus.
Breakfast was also divine and I couldn’t get enough of the buttery croissants and yoghurt with figs.
When the time came to haul myself away from the luxury of the Park Hyatt, and bid farewell to Ho Chi Minh City, I made my way south to the Mekong Delta - a vast maze of rivers, swamps and rice paddies.
I stayed in the city of Can Tho where an absolute must is the floating market which sees traders take to their boats and sell their wares from the middle of the river.
Visiti the bustling floating markets for a taste of some fresh local produce
Huge mountains of melons, pineapples and gourds filled the boats while sellers cried out to anyone passing by what they had to offer. Others busied themselves with weighing the fruit or sprucing up their boat with a fresh lick of paint. Some stall holders simply lazed aboard their vessel, gossiping with friends.
The Victoria Can Tho Resort organised the morning’s river tour. Just like the Park Hyatt this hotel was decorated in a colonial style. A bowl of exotic fruits welcomed me upon my arrival, many of which I couldn’t begin to name.
The room looked onto the huge swimming pool in the courtyard below, the fourth ‘wall’ of which was lined with towering palm trees, providing privacy from the gardens and river beyond.
If it’s real escapism you’re after in Vietnam, the island of Phu Quoc is where you want to be – and it’s just a very quick plane ride away.
It boasts breathtaking white sand beaches, a wonderfully temperate sea and dense, tropical jungle – not to mention its world-famous fish sauce.
It’s no wonder that many an A list celebrity including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been drawn to the island’s serene and sparkling shores which offer privacy from the outside world.
I stayed at the divine La Veranda which is right on the sea-front. It feels secluded and peaceful in the resort itself, but venture onto the beach and you'll see bars and eateries up and down the sands blaring out music and attracting relaxed backpackers cradling tumblers of beer, the water lapping at their toes.
Explore Gam Ghi - La Veranda's own private island
La Veranda’s delightful terrace, shaded by palm trees, offered a brilliant view of the picture-postcard seascape, while at night waiters brought out huge flaming torches to light up the restaurant tables set out on the sand.
Before dinner I took a swim in the blue, blue sea and was delighted when the most amazing sunset began to form on the horizon, the sky filled with reds and orange gold.
My trip may have started with a hectic whirl of activity, but this haven of peace and quiet highlighted the incredible contrasts that Vietnam offers.
