Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Attention to detail post booking and immediately prior to flight date was most reassuring. Thank you Dominic and all your team.
Harvey Edwards was brilliant. A huge help to me
Great service as always.
Terrific help from Tom
Lee was very helpful and sorted everything out very well!
Second trip with DialAFlight and again, it was a success. Lily was excellent. The accommodation in both Pisa and Florence were in fabulous locations. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely use DialAFlight as our regular travel agent to ensure we receive the 'personal touch.'
Very helpful
Great location, staff were very friendly and helpful but breakfast disappointing. Travel in Sicily by bus was cheap, regular and comfortable. We would happily use you again.
Everything was perfect, as always
Airport transfer in Sicily provided by BG Sicily Tranfers (Gianluca) was excellent.
Finn was very helpful when we had any queries. He contacted the hotel directly and answered all our questions. Extremely helpful and polite.
The service as usual was seamless and of course stress free, making travelling a pleasant experience.
Mia listened to our specific needs and found us the perfect holiday, she was always available to answer any of our questions quickly and efficiently.
Only problem we had was our hire car from Hertz broke down 30 minutes after leavlng the airport and we had to wait over 2 hours for recovery...
Thanks again Billy Gardner
We had an issue with our transfer which was down to the local company not you. Matter was dealt with quickly and easily. Dexter is nothing but helpful every time you contact him. Excellent service yet again.
Great holiday, only small issue was that we booked a deluxe room with sea view and upon arrival they don't have such a thing, it was a superior room with partial sea view which was slightly disappointing but didn't spoil the holiday in any way.
From booking through to arriving home it was just perfect! Communication from Nicole and her team made everything easy. We have already recommended DialAFlight to others.
I think DialAFlight are excellent with their customer care and communications. Finn is brilliant and soooo patient with all my questions. I always recommend DialAFlight
Fantastic customer support and attention to detail from Jade as always
Always use DialAFlight to organise my overseas trips - a very reliable service with great communication. Amy is brilliant but if she is not available there is always an alternative team member to help. I recommend DialAFlight to all my friends if they need help in planning an overseas trip
Sean Furnival is a star, he could not do more to make us happy.
Edward gave us excellent service in a friendly and professional manner and was happy to help us with amendments and to offer great advice. He recommended a fabulous resort and we will definitely go back. We will also use DialAFlight again thanks to the great service we received.
Another great trip, thanks Andrew for all your assistance. We love booking our holidays with you.
Brilliant designation and location
As usual, Jonathan Greaves who always helps me with my flights, was fantastic
All went well. For info Hotel Sol e Mar Beach is definitely not 4* standard.
James does a great job
As always with you, we flew to Tenerife and had no problems going or returning. Thanks Teddy, for all you do for us.
Philippa was very helpful and recommended a hotel which matched all of our requirements. We are very happy with the service DialAFlight provides
Even in the communist era, Yugoslavia attracted holiday-makers in large numbers from western Europe, including a devoted following from Britain.
It was in marked contrast to the likes of East Germany or Romania and other Russian-dominated countries which were far from being contemplated as holiday destinations.
But Yugoslavia's then ruler Marshal Tito understood the concept of a market-based economy and often upset Moscow by running his country on a communist model very different from the Soviet-approved version.
More than Dubrovnik and Split
Many British visitors flocked to Dubrovnik and Split in those days. After Yugoslavia dispensed with communism the whole region faced a decade of strife which meant a hiatus in travel there - but with peace, the independent country of Croatia was to emerge with Dubrovnik and Split quickly reclaiming their status as star tourist attractions.
And it rapidly became apparent there was much more to Croatia than most realised. For a start, it has more than 1,200 miles of coastline and 1,200 islands. Most of the islands are just blobs of rock in the Adriatic, but of the 50 that are inhabited several are destinations in their own right. Hvar is a perfect example.
What they all have in common is that they have come to the package holiday party very late. For many of the islands it's not just that the Tito regime didn't develop them as holiday places, visitors were actually banned: Tito feared a seaborne invasion (from the West and probably the East, too) so there were elaborate early-warning stations and other defensive structures intended to protect Yugoslavia.
Even today, on many of the smaller, uninhabited islands, visitors are not allowed to stay overnight - but this is now for environmental rather than defence reasons.
So the unexpected benefit of this is that while many other Mediterranean islands were throwing up tower-block hotels and ploughing up vast swathes of countryside to build airports, Croatia's islands escaped the worst excesses of modern tourism that can mar some destinations.
This nation's charm resides in its natural, unsophisticated but thoroughly stylish ambience. Many of the island towns are perfect gems - including places such as Sibenik, which is an architectural treasure trove.
Pride of place here goes to the Cathedral of St James, built in stone between 1431 and 1536. Sibenik, like the Swedish capital Stockholm, is built over an archipelago. The city is an intriguing maze of narrow alleys and squares with a host of fascinating small shops and fine places to eat.
Rovinj nestles in an arm of the Adriatic where Croatia meets Italy. It has the look of a mini-Venice with narrow streets of sunburnt buildings dominated by the campanile of the Church of St Euphemia.
Another delight is Trogir, set on a small island between the Croatian mainland and the island of Ciovo.
Founded by the Greeks, it was later influenced by the Romans and Venetians.
It is a wonderful mixture of churches, palaces, towers and fortifications. Its Romanesque-Gothic quarter is one of the best-preserved in all of Central Europe.
An ideal hide-away
One of my favourite places is the former fishing village of Novigrad: the perfect away-from-it-all place to enjoy peace and quiet. If you're looking for a busier environment then head for Dubrovnik, the famous walled city that found itself on the front line of the civil war in 1991.
Like Venice, you have to see Dubrovnik to understand its attraction. The churches, palaces and ramparts are remarkable, with style and history combining in perfect harmony. There are lots of bigger resorts that offer a base for a beachy holiday. It is hard, however, to resist the attractions of Split.
The town offers a pedestrianised waterfront and smart ambience.
The stunning palace of the Emperor Diocletian is in the centre, where you can shop in an underground palace complex or sip cocktails within arm's reach of ancient columns. Perfect.
