Professional and attentive as always
Great service as usual. Thank you
Have been booking flights and hotels with DialAFlight for many years. Agents are very knowledgeable and helpful. Since discovering I can use the same agent for my bookings I have recommended him to my daughter.
The transfers worked very well but on arrival in Barcelona the firm was difficult to locate. There was no obvious notice and we found the agent was standing some distance away from the arrival gate.
Excellent service as usual
Logan was a star. Nothing was too much trouble
As always - great service.
Another smooth trip. The hotel was excellent and in a great location.
Thanks again Ross.
Fabulous holiday and amazing service from Rosie and Sean. You made it all so easy for us to enjoy a lovely time away. Would highly recommend H10
Les and Teddy are quite simply EXCELLENT!
We are very grateful for Cody and DialAFlight's excellent service
Ellis is superb - sorts everything out
Isla and her team always make everything so straightforward, quick and easy. A pleasure to speak with someone, rather than battle online.
Sam Nott is very knowledgeable and customer focused and I happily recommend him to my friends and family.
DAF were great as always ... Lisbon Airport not so much.
Everything went like 'clockwork' no issues and a great service again!
The hotel staff were fantastic, so kind & helpful, nothing was too much trouble! The food was delicious & terrific service too. It's brilliantly located for accessing the tourist attractions in Amsterdam, so I'd highly recommend it to anyone wanting a city break/holiday
Always prompt to respond
Reliable, trustworthy, informative and extremely detailed. Thanks Molly.
Bag drop in Gran Canaria was very poor
Seamless as ever
Fraser did a fantastic job finding the right holiday for us.
Finley was great.
All went very smoothly. Tour app is very helpful
All travel arrangements went very well, as expected.
Not sure I would want to use Jet2 again ... the app not working was a pain. Hotel was a bit odd.
Support from beginning to end, brilliant service.
I was recommended to use DialAFlight - the advice/guidance was brilliant along with booking and flight times.
From the outset booking a holiday for 10 people they were excellent, nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend them.
My Montenegro guide was animated. 'You should have been here when this was part of Yugoslavia. It was a fine country and tourists loved it,' he said.
There's a word for those who share his view... 'Yugonostalgics', and they remember Josip Tito as a great leader, who ruled the country with a benevolent air and a successful PR campaign.
'I, too, remember Yugoslavia,' I told him, without elaborating.
My memories of pre-1980 Yugoslavia run more along the lines of cheap and nasty, concrete-clad, mass-market hotels aimed at Eastern Bloc tourists, unimaginative food and undrinkable wine.
There was bog-standard nightlife and exotic luxuries such as fiery slivovitz plum brandy, which gave you the mother of all hangovers; and Yugo cars for taxis, which made East Germany's Trabants seem like Ferraris.
It's very different now, as each of the former Yugoslav states strives to come up with new and inventive ways to attract tourists. Montenegro is right up there, with a curious mix of flashy super-yacht marinas and glitzy hotels, combined with good value seaside resorts.
The marina complex of Portonovi, on a 60-acre site on Boka Bay between Dubrovnik, in Croatia, and the Montenegrin coastal town of Tivat, might just be the glitziest of them all when it opens next year. Look out for luxurious apartments, available for sale and rent, as well as a yacht club, spa and a new One&Only resort hotel, the first in Europe.
At the other end of the scale, and not in a bad way, is Ribarsko Selo, a rustic fish restaurant with just a handful of guest rooms, tucked away on the Lustica Peninsula between Miriste and Zanjice beach, where a bottle of Savina white wine costs 15 Euros.
Those in the know book the restaurant's sole harbourside apartment, with its own small pool, a favourite with visiting oligarchs in need of privacy. At just €150 a night for two, it's a bargain.
But there is also much in between these extremes in Montenegro. Its 620,000 people are fiercely proud of the independence they gained following the break-up of Yugoslavia, a process which began in 1991. The following year Serbia and Montenegro became an entity, under the name the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
In 2003, it officially renamed itself Serbia and Montenegro and in 2006, after a referendum, Montenegro declared independence. It was officially named the Republic of Montenegro in 2007.
Its credentials as a forward-looking highly progressive country have been underlined since then by such achievements as being classified by the World Bank as an upper middle-income country, becoming a member of the UN, NATO, the World Trade Organization and the Council of Europe. Not to mention seeing many of its resorts gaining a definite air of high-end sophistication.
The town of Budva, for example, once with a whiff of mass market Spanish Costas about it, is now filled with atmospheric bars and restaurants in the shadow of the ramparts, and there's a crescent-shaped beach, too.
Even more spectacular is Kotor, with its high city walls, tiny alleys, churches and Italianate mansions, all a reminder of Montenegro's Venetian heritage. Visit in the early evening, after the cruise ships have rounded up their passengers, order something at an outside cafe, and bask in its beauty.
For real luxury, try the island of Sveti Stefan, once home to fishermen, whose atmospheric houses now serve as guest rooms for the Aman Sveti Stefan hotel, reached by a pedestrian causeway.
Following local advice, I checked out the resort of Herceg Novi, just along the coast, where the modern beach-side Palmon Bay Hotel and Spa provides a good base from which to explore the coast and the black mountains. Service is slickly efficient - not always the case in this part of the world - and rooms are excellent, if a touch clinical.
Heaven knows where Montenegro is heading. It might not know itself. For the rest of us, it's well worth visiting a place that's in such dramatic transition.
