Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Great support from my adviser
Thankyou so much and we are looking forward to speaking with you to help us book more flights in the future.
Thank you Troy
You get the greatest service from these guys. Particular mention for Claire Doherty who I’ve dealt with on and off for many years and one of her team members Jenson. They are always at the end of a phone or an email if you need them - and I have needed them a few times. They never make you feel like your question is silly or that you’re a pest!
Excellent all round service, thank you Louie
Kylie and Rob are a first class team and it is a pleasure to work with them.
Everything worked out really well. No delays and no extra cost. A great time in Paris!
Attention to detail post booking and immediately prior to flight date was most reassuring. Thank you Dominic and all your team.
Harvey Edwards was brilliant. A huge help to me
Great service as always.
An excellent company with an outstanding Travel Manager (Aidan Pinder)
Terrific help from Tom
Lee was very helpful and sorted everything out very well!
Second trip with DialAFlight and again, it was a success. Lily was excellent. The accommodation in both Pisa and Florence were in fabulous locations. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely use DialAFlight as our regular travel agent to ensure we receive the 'personal touch.'
Very helpful
Great location, staff were very friendly and helpful but breakfast disappointing. Travel in Sicily by bus was cheap, regular and comfortable. We would happily use you again.
Everything was perfect, as always
Airport transfer in Sicily provided by BG Sicily Tranfers (Gianluca) was excellent.
Finn was very helpful when we had any queries. He contacted the hotel directly and answered all our questions. Extremely helpful and polite.
The service as usual was seamless and of course stress free, making travelling a pleasant experience.
Mia listened to our specific needs and found us the perfect holiday, she was always available to answer any of our questions quickly and efficiently.
Only problem we had was our hire car from Hertz broke down 30 minutes after leavlng the airport and we had to wait over 2 hours for recovery...
Thanks again Billy Gardner
We had an issue with our transfer which was down to the local company not you. Matter was dealt with quickly and easily. Dexter is nothing but helpful every time you contact him. Excellent service yet again.
Great holiday, only small issue was that we booked a deluxe room with sea view and upon arrival they don't have such a thing, it was a superior room with partial sea view which was slightly disappointing but didn't spoil the holiday in any way.
From booking through to arriving home it was just perfect! Communication from Nicole and her team made everything easy. We have already recommended DialAFlight to others.
I think DialAFlight are excellent with their customer care and communications. Finn is brilliant and soooo patient with all my questions. I always recommend DialAFlight
Fantastic customer support and attention to detail from Jade as always
Quick response to add my easyJet plus number. Courtesy call pre-flight was nice touch!
Always use DialAFlight to organise my overseas trips - a very reliable service with great communication. Amy is brilliant but if she is not available there is always an alternative team member to help. I recommend DialAFlight to all my friends if they need help in planning an overseas trip
Here's a game to play on the plane. You have one last holiday and it's for a month. It won't cost you a thing but you have to go somewhere you've been before. That honeymoon hotel in Sri Lanka might loom large, perhaps the beach resort in Jamaica would be perfect, or the heavenly spot in the Maldives could do the trick.
My wife and I play the game on the way home from Tuscany - and are hard-pressed to think beyond the place we've just left. We stayed at the Castello di Casole hotel, a ravishing hill-top converted castle within striking distance of Siena, San Gimignano and Florence. In other words, culture of the highest order on your doorstep, where going nowhere at all is also a tantalising option.
We're talking Tuscany Classico: lush undulating countryside, a patchwork of greens, ochres and violets broken up by thick hedges and narrow tracks lined with immaculate cypress trees.
Many of the tracks you can see from the castle's terrace - with its fabulous infinity swimming pool and huge terracotta pots laden with olive trees - lead to villas that are part of the hotel's 4,200-acre estate, now owned and run by Belmond.
An American firm acquired it in 2005 and set about a massive restoration.
There are 41 suites (plus a two-storey penthouse) in the main building and dotted about what amounts to a private hamlet, with its own church and crypt built by the Bargagli family in the 19th century. The spa is in the granary, with treatment rooms in the former cellars. At one time, the castle was owned by Italian director Luchino Visconti (Death In Venice). Perhaps he, like us, spent hours staring into the distance - front row seats in the Ritzy Naturale.
It's truly special at night, when the main courtyard becomes a village square, complete with fountain, stone benches and al fresco dining. Children play hide and seek while their parents pile plates with some of the best cooking in the region.
What you forget about Tuscany is that the Etruscans were here long before the Romans. Hence the exquisite hilltop towns that once were fortresses designed to repel outsiders and are now communities keen to welcome visitors armed with euros.
On our second night, we ask the concierge to book us dinner somewhere cheap and cheerful nearby. He chooses Osteria del Borgo in the tiny village of Mensano, which, as it happens, we could see from our room.
Slow-cooked wild boar is the speciality here, but it's the sort of restaurant where you let the waiter (in this case the brother of the chef) decide what you should eat. A triumph.
We visited the dramatic hilltop town of San Gimignano, with its skyline of medieval towers, including the stone Torre Grossa and the 12th century Duomo di San Gimignano with famous frescoes by Ghirlandaio. But be warned, the walled town is one of Tuscany's biggest draws and it can get extremely busy - it's well worth a visit but try to avoid peak times. The priority of those medieval town planners wasn't car parking spaces.
We enjoyed a venture to beautiful Arezzo, where on the first Sunday of the month, the town centre becomes one huge antiques market. We buy a heavy marble font that raises eyebrows as we check in for the flight home at Pisa airport.
We also make the pilgrimage to Siena, where, because it is a few weeks before the annual Palio (the bareback horse race around the plaza), medieval pageantry is brewing nicely, including a hostile-looking marching band that drums its way through the narrow streets carrying heavy flags.
Most of all, we love sleepy Casole d'Elsa, which you can also see from the hotel. It has a butcher and grocer - and manages a perfect balance between visitors and full-time residents.
What strikes us about Tuscany in peak season is how if you avoid the superstar towns, there's space for everyone and, with fierce planning laws governing development, it's remarkably unspoilt.
