Vincent was amazing, went above and beyond!
Planning, content, quality of hotels were all up to previous experiences with the company. Les and his team are always very helpful , ready to advise, make adjustments and support whenever necessary.
First time I have used DialAFlight and very impressed with the service. Will definitely use you again
Very helpful, reassuring and supportive at every step. Very helpful app
Marcus was extremely helpful and straightforward and did not try to sell services that we did not want
Amazing service from DialAFlight. A big thank you to Roray for recommending such a fab hotel and resort!
We wouldn't have got flights other than using you because websites were jammed the day Thomas Cook went bust
Absolutely delighted with every aspect of the Service from DialAFlight - James was extremely helpful and a pleasure to talk to. Will be our first port of call next time
Can’t speak too highly of the service we get from Jarvis. Well done
I’ve booked with Wayne for many years. A wonderful professional he always gives me exactly what I want and always at the right price!
Brilliant William
Everything went so well with our trip to Crete.
Dale is superb and helped enormously when the BA strike days were announced making all the necessary changes. I recommend him to everyone.
Extremely efficient and professional service as always.
Everything went very smoothly and we enjoyed our week's holiday in Kefalonia. Flight and car hire were great.
Excellent as always.
Another flawless trip
Your arrangements were, as usual excellent. May I suggest you do not book guests into the K Boutique hotel in Rhodes - it is billed as 4/5 star and we would find it hard to give it 2.
Excellent service, super easy arrangements, great choice of hotel.
Would certainly like to do it again!
Thank you to Otis for being so kind and professional as always
Blair is the best. His customer service is exceptional and the whole experience exceeded my expectations.
Both Bradley and Tyler were so helpful in going the extra mile
Jeremy was extremely helpful
Orlando has been amazing. Following up and being so helpful from booking through to the actual holiday. Thanks so much
Another great holiday and everything went as planned
As always, Orlando delivered the goods. Always knowledgeable and efficient. I continue to recommend him and DialAFlight to anyone who asks.
As long as l can get my boarding passes in the post I will use DialAFlight. Thanks to the staff for being so helpful especially Nadia.
Fantastic trip, smooth and easy, would 100% use DialAFlight again. Robbie is brilliant and always does an excellent job
Kylie was fantastic, great service, highly recommend
'Over there,' said our driver gesturing to a smudge of land barely discernible in the gathering dusk, 'is Ithaca: the home of brave Ulysses.'
He put the stress on 'brave' as if there might have been another Ulysses around who had less of an appetite for man-to-man combat.
Nikos, our driver, was a man of the classics, it appeared. 'According to legend, Ulysses spent ten years fighting the Trojans in the Trojan War and then it took him ten years to get home after the war.
'This journey home is the story of The Odyssey.'
Unlike Corfu and other tourist-savvy islands such as Rhodes and Crete, Kefalonia still has the look of a place surprised to find itself in the holiday business.
If Ithaca has Ulysses, Kefalonia has heroes of a more recent vintage. The island was the setting for Louis de Bernière's modern classic Captain Corelli's Mandolin.
FIT FOR THE BIG SCREEN
And, surprisingly - as Holly-wood almost never seems to shoot films in their authentic setting - this was where Penelope Cruz, Nicolas Cage and Christian Bale came to star in the film of the book when it was made here in 2001.
The locals are ambivalent about the film, as it makes narrative capital out of the two worst events to affect the island in living memory.
The ill-fated occupation by the Germans during the Second World War (which resulted in the massacre of more than 5,000 Italian troops as portrayed in Captain Corelli's Mandolin); and the terrible earthquake which destroyed large parts of the island in August 1953, killing 600 people and making thousands homeless.
Driving across the island today, however, there is little to suggest recent troubles.
Kefalonia radiates a quiet contentment, perfect for someone who has arrived, like us, searching for utter peace and quiet. What quickly endeared us to Kefalonia was that this was a 'real' place where the locals clearly have a life beyond tourism.
FAVOURED BY THE STARS
It has become popular with the rich and famous as the perfect place to tie up their luxury yachts as they make their way around the Mediterranean.
We had a fabulous lunch at a harbourside restaurant where our waiter confided that Tom Hanks and his wife were on a yacht nearby and were expected to arrive for lunch imminently.
We strung out dessert as long as we possibly could, but Mr Hanks didn't put in an appearance (or perhaps he is so good at disguises that we didn't recognise him).
What was also impressive is that while the place is probably the nearest thing that Kefalonia has to a major resort, it didn't really feel like a tourist honey pot -it certainly wasn't crowded.
And, best of all perhaps, the excellent meal was very reasonably priced.
The island has only recently begun seeking to attract tourists and doesn't seem to have been alerted to the possibilities of ripping off visitors.
We took our trip to Fiskardo in the evening when the heat was tempered by a cooling breeze from the sea.
Close to our apartment were plenty of good tavernas and bars where we could enjoy a reasonably priced meal in the evening.
It may have taken Ulysses 20 years to return to Ithaca - we shall be heading back to Kefalonia much sooner than that.
Amazingly, it is simple old-fashioned service that sets us apart from other travel firms. And yes, we really do answer the phone within 5 seconds!
Check out the reviews on Trustpilot and the word ‘service’ appears again and again. And you’ll find many reviews from customers saying they wasted hours trying to plan a holiday themselves before calling us - often on the advice of a friend - only to find we could offer numerous options not available online, which also saved them money.
Our team of 300 travel managers has been arranging tailor-made holidays for almost 40 years and we believe no one does it better. Judge for yourself.
