We have always dealt with Tara, who is not only excellent but also so charming and helpful.
As always great service from DAF
Perfect as always
Excellent service as usual
A huge thank you to Sean Furnival for booking us in to such a lovely hotel. We will certainly consider booking holidays in the future with you.
Excellent service as always.
Lost and found: We left a Kindle in the seat pocket of BA flight, but got it back from Iberia Lost and found at Tenerife Airport when we left. An additional service you might consider would be to provide instructions to pax on how and to whom one can seek help when something is left on an aircraft.
I love it that you answer the phone straight away
Thanks to Cameron for being so helpful and patient with us in trying to sort out our pre pandemic booking
Everything went as planned. Thank you Gareth.
Excellent service. Wondeful to speak to someone on the phone.
An excellent service - in particular Teddy for his professionalism and courtesy
Superb service from Paul and his colleague at DialAFlight. He sorted out the flights and a brilliant hotel for a short stay in Barcelona, gave us good advice about getting from airport to hotel. Have been recommending the company to all my friends. That's the best endorsement I can give them!
Fantastic as usual - particularly when BA cancelled flight.
No stress at all
Thank you for sorting out BA's mess so seamlessly.
Thanks to Sebastian for the efficient service that he always provides
Great service - thank you Calvin and colleagues
Fantastic as always
Brilliant service that takes the stress out of booking flights and hotel - all went like clockwork.
Thomas was very patient!
The plane was delayed and when we arrived for car hire it was closed. At 4am in the morning we were driving round in a taxi looking for a hotel!
I have every confidence in you.
Everything ran very smoothly. Adam arranged everything for us, it was faultless
Shelley extremely helpful and professional
Difficult to beat the professional and personal attention that a client receives from the dedicated staff.
So refreshing to be able to speak to a knowledgeable real person and have your call answered almost immediately
As always excellent service from Elizabeth and Co
London City Airport is how an airport should be. Amazing
Liam did a great job. He was incredibly helpful and his recommendations were spot on.
On the final evening of our three-day cultural tour of Valencia, dolled up and festive, we went for a slap up dinner at the swish Marina Beach Club.
Clearly the club is a place to see and be seen. This great barn of an upmarket seaside restaurant was packed with beautiful young Valencian nouveau riche shouting happily at each other.
The noise was incredible. And yet it was at
this popular restaurant that we had the worst dining experience of our entire
lives. The food - what little we saw - was rubbish; our waitress appeared to
despise us.
When the waitress begrud-gingly shoved a bottle of wine on the table, the wrong one, we passed a glass between us pretending it was the Holy Grail.
But were we downhearted? Not a bit. After 72 hours of sightseeing, we were stuffed to satisfied surfeit with Valencian art and culture. We had seen everything - and what a thrill it all was.
We'd been to the Chapel of the Santo Caliz in Valencia Cathedral and gawped at the actual Holy Grail. We'd visited the late medieval Lonja de la Seda, or Silk Exchange, a masterpiece of civil Gothic architecture. Under shade trees outside the Silk Exchange, we'd watched traditional Valencian dancing.
We'd eaten tapas at the Colon covered market, a landmark of Art Deco architecture.
We'd visited the Bombas Gens Centre D'art, an old water pump manufacturer with an Art Deco facade converted to a gallery with 1,500 works of modern art by 150 artists, including Robert Mapplethorpe.
Bombas Gens's incongruous transformation from heavy industrial workshop to bourgeois art space nicely typified the gift-wrapping of Valencian cultural and historical heritage for the 21st-century tourist.
We'd even been taken on a guided walking tour of Valencia's rather bizarre, council-maintained graffiti. Afterwards, we were privileged to meet foremost Valencian street artist Vinz Feel Free.
Wearing a tracksuit top and jogging pants, Mr Feel Free personally conducted us around his new exhibition at the Carmen arts centre, a palatial former convent.
Had recognition, respectability and paid employment softened the poacher turned gamekeeper's Leftist credo? His giant prints and photographs of nude pelota players with superimposed animal heads said an emphatic no.
We visited the Silk Museum and learned about the laborious silk-making process from mulberry tree to silk moth cocoon to weaving loom to museum gift shop.
And at the Museum of Fine Arts, a spokesman for the Valencian tourist board, solemn with excitement, confided to us that the city's hidebound conservative council had been slung out, and a Left-wing one elected in its place.
He had a dream of bright sunlit ideological uplands dotted with costly, consciousness-raising public art. The public art we'd already seen was, it's no good denying, of startling banality. I hope his dream is realised.
The river Turia once flowed through the centre of Valencia. In 1957, it naughtily overflowed its banks. As a punishment it was diverted away from the city centre and the river bed was planted with public gardens. The old bridges remain; the gardens and embankments have been sown with public art and post modern architectural statements such as Valencia's ambitious new opera house.
Designed by celebrity architect Santiago Calatrava, the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia is his homage to the homicidal sci-fi creature in Alien. As well as the Turia Gardens, Valencia has dozens of green spaces, including two botanical gardens, the Monforte gardens, the magnificent parks Glorieta, Cabecera, Alameda and Viveros.
In the latter, we sat in a packed grandstand and were tortured for an hour and a half by the vibrant Armenian-Lebanese electric violinist Ara Malikian playing maniacal covers of Led Zeppelin and David Bowie.
Valencia is the home of paella and where Spanish women still waft air over themselves with elaborate fans.
If you go in the warm months, you'll need a parasol and fan.
