Great service - real people at the end of the phone, good value and problem free. Thank you to everyone involved.
Danny Sharma was great. He really looked after me recognising my first trip abroad following the death of my husband would be stressful. Will always go back to him
I have used you for some time and have not been let down.
I wouldn’t use anyone else - service, communication, pricing - consistently exceptional. We’ve used Sadie and Jane for years now and won’t change.
Everything went like a well oiled machine from checking-in, boarding cards, flights and seats, taxis waiting and hotel perfect.
As always the itinerary and accommodation were excellent plus the communication.
Excellent, as always!
Was a great and memorable short stay and thanks to Graham for his recommendations and super communication
Bradley was fantastic from start to finish. Thank you so much. We’ll be in touch for our next holiday.
So helpful, so organised. Brilliant!
Always happy with DialAflight's service. We wouldn't book with anyone else. Jane and Sadie are both amazing and always exceed our expectations
Easyjet had no food available going out or back...not great.
All worked perfectly and Dale was his usual highly competent self.
Excellent customer service from Ray. Ray researched, found the best flight for my holiday, liaised with third party on my behalf and phoned back when promised to ensure all on track. Also recommended an efficient airline, which was great, as flights and check in went smoothly.
Excellent service from DialAFlight. Thanks Tony. The car hire went OK but Zit Cars work from the back of a car so not easy to locate. But all good and a great holiday.
Kylie knows exactly what we like in terms of accommodation and always sorts out good flight times and organises final details in the lead up to holiday.
Sarah Hole and her team are fantastic! I so recommend them. They give you confidence
Amelia Beecham looked after our recent Portugal trip. She also booked my Toronto trip earlier in the year. Both trips were fantastic. Accommodation was brilliant. Everything ran smoothly. Amelia was superb!
Brilliant hotel
As ever Elizabeth was excellent and the service we received from DialAFlight was spot on. Thank you.....
Absolutely perfect holiday, thank you!
Very good communication
Very happy as usual.
Thank you to Ben and his colleague -everything was booked and looked after with 100% confidence. Portugal was fabulous and we had a great time
Contrary to all the scaremongering, our flights to and from Portugal from Bristol were effortless - queues minimal, staff polite.
Stacey, who handled all our flights and accommodation couldn’t be more helpful. Felt confident travelling with all the information given.
My return flight was cancelled by BA and the staff at DialAFlight took control and sorted everything out for me. Couldn’t recommend them enough
Philipa especially was so helpful. I will definitely use DialAFlight again and have recommended you to friends.
Special assistance was excellent - flights both ways on time. Good service all round
All great - brilliant service
The most famous of Portugal's Atlantic islands, Madeira is a gardener's heaven. Perched on windowsills or on steps up to the doors of even the tiniest houses, flowers are a constant welcome to visitors.
The semi-tropical climate means you are as likely to see an African flame tree, a jacaranda or a popcorn bush as a lupin or hollyhock. I was guided by landscape architect Dr Gerald Luckhurst, author of The Gardens Of Madeira.
Here is his pick of the bunch…
Belmond Reid's Palace Hotel
This is Madeira's most iconic landmark and Gerald helped design its peaceful and soothing gardens. Paved with pebbles, the terraced garden was the vision of hotel founder William Reid.
'I used to think cacti and succulents were something small boys collected – but since working in this climate, I have realised what beautiful forms they have,' says Gerald, showing me a crown of thorns set off by towering agapanthus.
Quinta da Boa Vista
High above red tiled roofs, a green door in a crumbly wall transports us into Madeira's orchid farm.
Originally a vegetable and then a flower farm, Boa Vista is run by Patrick Garton, whose late father, Group Captain Cecil Garton OBE, was British Consul in Madeira and founded the orchid garden in the Sixties.
Long staircases with Spanish moss and steep paths flanked by hibiscus lead to glasshouses, where rare orchids bloom.
Botanical Garden
Behind tall, iron gates in a faded ochre wall lies a handsome old mansion, a late 19th-century cream house with dark-green shutters – today home to a natural history museum.
The garden is divided into five parts and is known for its formal mosaiculture, or carpet bedding, an ornate purple and green patchwork with views over the city of Funchal.
Monte Palace Tropical Garden
This lofty garden is reached by cable car. It plummets from a Gothic structure housing African sculpture and an impressive gem and mineral collection. Archways, rails, bridges and pagodas are a vibrant Chinese red, accentuating the lush green around them. Waterfalls tumble into pools and lakes.
Palheiro Gardens
These best represent Madeira's flamboyant soul. They are mainly the work of the Blandy family, who bought the estate in 1885 from the Count of Carvahal.
They were neglected until the Eighties, when Mildred Blandy's Swedish daughter-in-law Christina re-invigorated them. 'Christina likes serendipity, rather than colour plans,' explains Gerald as we walk amid jasmine, calendula, birds of paradise, azaleas, camellias, pansies, dahlias, foxgloves and roses.
