Excellent service ..
Larry was amazing to work with. We had a wonderful holiday and his recommendation for a hotel was absolutely PERFECT! Will only book trips through him in the future!
We arrived at Kalamata airport but there was no transport waiting for us. We called the hotel and over an hour later a different car was dispatched to take us to the hotel. Not the ideal start to the holiday.
Always great service from your company and staff
Nicole, our travel manager for many years did a magnificent job. She booked the flights, the hotels, the car hire and gave the best advice regarding our trip to Tuscany.
Always delighted with DialAFlight. The rapid telephone answering is wonderful, the agents speak clearly and are always polite, enthusiastic and helpful.
Taylor delivered another five star experience
Very kind and easy to talk to. Confirmation email clearly understood. DialAFlight much easier to use than booking online with airline.
As usual first class support from Darryll Hansford
The DialAFlight team sorted out our trip amazingly efficiently and it all went without a hitch. Thank you.
My travel plans went extremely well thanks to Peter Smith
Much appreciated
Brilliant customer service
Damian is an absolute star. He finds me last minute tickets and organises family holidays. We are super happy with his very professional services.
Dealt with a lovely travel representative called Michael.
Todd was EXCEPTIONAL from start to finish. He gave lots of help when deciding the destination, taking into account all our requirements and the communication was excellent! Cannot wait to book our next holiday with you
I upgraded on SAS airlines by the bidding process! I wouldn’t bother!
Ferries from Corfu to Paxos are unreliable. Our return ferry was cancelled the night before. We were put on a later ferry and just made the flight. It might be worth noting and suggesting an extra night in Corfu at the end of the holiday.
Another faultless booking by Jerry
So reassuring to have the back up and support. Ian responded so quickly to my last minute (day before I flew) queries. It made a huge difference to have the personal support.
Phone answered quickly. Staff very friendly and helpful. An extremely knowledgeable and professional company. Takes the stress out of booking a flight
Superb trip Gordon.
Most organisations under deliver on their promises but not DialAFlight. Excellent service, thank you.
Des is wonderful.
Jake’s the BEST
Absolutely brilliant sorting out complex changes and golf bags to Norway, supporting with check in and full telephone support and guidance. We love the calm and helpful way all your staff respond to us stressed travellers! Thoroughly recommend your excellent service.
Great trip with very professional support
Hotel was fabulous. Great place. All really smooth
Great help as usual
Hotel choice was excellent
Reaching the top of a twisting trail through the forests of Monte Urgull, I suddenly saw why the city below is sometimes compared with Rio de Janeiro.
From the rocky crest, a giant statue of Christ opens his arms, blessing San Sebastian. At his feet lie golden scallops of urban beach, sandwiched between green pinnacles rising from a vast natural harbour.
This is the setting for the Basque city on the Bay of Biscay, chosen (jointly with Wroclaw in Poland) to be European Capital of Culture 2016.
It is hard to ignore the twinkling of Michelin stars in Spain's foodie capital – that's what the city is known the world over for. More about the grub in a moment, but I was here to taste some of the other cultural delicacies of San Sebastian, or Donostia as it is known in the Basque language.
The seaside town has been attracting cultured sophisticates ever since the Spanish royal family made it their summer base in the 19th century. Alluring art nouveau hotels and mansions soon became the rivals of fellow Basque resort Biarritz across the French border but just 20 kilometres away.
Since the Fifties the cream of Hollywood have been drawn here by the annual September film festival, which is artier and more compact than glitzy Cannes, according to the cognoscenti. And for half a century the July San Sebastian jazz fortnight has been drawing grandees of the music world.
The length of the city's coast is fringed by a boardwalk, starting at the surfers' Zurriola beach, then skirting the Urgull peninsula headland to La Concha bay, which must rank as one of the world's top urban beaches.
The esplanade rounds a horseshoe of golden sand more than a mile long, facing dark green Santa Clara islet. As I strolled along, the stirring echoes I felt of Rio's Copacabana beach amplified as I neared the rearing Monte Igueldo headland.
The old quarter, I found, is as walkable as the sea-fringe. A grid of narrow streets pedestrianised from noon onwards (after the vans delivering food have gone), is relieved by open spaces such as Plaza de la Constitucion, where windows have seat numbers dating from when the square was used as a bullring.
There is a neo-Gothic cathedral and some fine, older churches. However, the way to observe the town's purest religion is to eat. Pintxos – the version of tapas that Basques take to dizzy heights of delicacy – are the order of the day (and night).
People swarm to sniff out morsels of edible art including dishes such as chipirones en equilibrio (squid, patterned with caramel filigree).
As I tried to walk off my gastronomic indulgence by hiking up Monte Urgull, I concluded that the Rio-like panorama was as visually appetising as the most elaborate San Sebastian pintxo.
