Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Overall I was very pleased with DialAFlight. Cmpliments to Callum - I appreciated his patience with me when I was asking him so many questions!! Well done!
My easyJet flight out of Milan was cancelled. Not your fault. Luke is always excellent - he is the reason I keep coming back.
Curtis, I can’t thank you enough
Great holiday!
As ever, good service from Matthew Price
Lewis did a great job, thank you
Some minor details that were not conveyed. Over all very happy. Had an amazing trip.
I like the way all communications are responded to by a person within such a short time. That makes such a difference in a time of automated responses and useless FAQs.
Love the fact that I can call up regarding flight and airport related queries such as cabin allowance, car parking, as I have some flight anxiety. Special mention to Julie and Glen. Your staff are very customer focused and knowledgeable - and by the way - fly Lufthansa! Epic airline
Great service before and during the holiday. Jarvis Allen was a pleasure to deal with and his service was exemplary .
Aidan was very helpful throughout
Joanna was very helpful and easy to get hold of to answer my stupid questions.
Bradley is very good
We'd like to thank Des for all his help including online check in for us which was very helpful. It's always good to know we can contact DialAFlight if we encounter any problems.
Connie was friendly, efficient and sensibly reminded me to confirm my flight details with the airline and get a boarding pass. Everything worked out as planned.
All of your staff are so good. Thank you
Eric was very helpful sorting out our holiday so a big thank you. He listened to what we asked for and put everything together for us perfectly. We had a brilliant holiday
Good service from the start. Grateful that two rooms next door to each other were also followed up on.
Sam Nott brilliant as ever. Service faultless.
Great organisation by Darryll.
DialAFlight stuck with me through a worrying time while I was in Corfu and had to come home early. Thank you Gareth .
Excellent company - would definitely use again.
As always, Chloe understood exactly what we wanted and planned the perfect holiday.
Tony is brilliant!
Flights all OK and hotel comfortable with good food. Only comment would be to take care which room to accept in the Admiral hotel. Ours was on the top floor with stairs from the living area to the bedroom, which were steep and not really suitable for the elderly.
You do not want to know what happened on the return flight: It left late, took half an hour to start disembarking, then we had to wait nearly two hours for luggage, because of a failure in the scanning system.
You are a breath of fresh air
Fantastic choice of hotel and central position. Thank you so much
Great service with lovely agents. Kept me well informed at all times. Perfect
Amelia is a diamond.
Mid-afternoon and the sun is at shirt-sleeve strength, the air scented with shrimp, garlic and sherry and every inch of the Plaza del Salvador is occupied. A public holiday? No – merely Seville as Friday ripens into the weekend.
For the full spectrum of the city's pleasures in a weekend, opt for one of the newer, smaller hotels near this central square. Hotels such as the Alminar, where manager Francisco and his team will let you in on the Seville's secrets.
Santa Cruz, once the Jewish quarter, is east from here and home to the baroque splendour of the Salvador church. There is little traffic, just the occasional car or waspish moped. It is a bewildering tangle of fountains, courtyards and secluded gardens.
The Giralda, the bell tower, spot-lit at night, which crowns the cathedral, is a helpful marker: use it as a guide and you can wander, perhaps to Calle Mateos Gago, where the pavements overflow with tables, chairs and orange trees. For artistic intensity, head to Casa de la Memoria on Calle Cuna for flamenco of almost spiritual possession; heels machine-gunning down on bare floorboards.
Back in a roof-terrace room at the Alminar, you have a private view of the cathedral, just 50 yards away. An empire of a building, its dark interior has an altar drenched in gold and a tomb supposedly containing the remains of Christopher Columbus.
Two minutes' walk to the south is the Alcazar, the royal palace, which requires a full afternoon. Its toy fort castellated walls belie the decorative intricacy within including colonnaded courtyards and regal chambers with stucco friezes and azulejo tiles. The gardens boast palms, peacocks and an hourly water-powered organ recital.
Squeeze in also Casa Pilatos, one of the Duchess of Medinaceli's many residences. There is an El Greco in the dining room, a Tintoretto in the tower room and, most memorably, a painting of a breastfeeding, bearded woman, with her husband looking haggard at her shoulder.
The Sevillanos do justice to Sunday lunch, dining until at least 5pm – so there is time to digest the feast of your experiences at an outside table at Modesto in Santa Cruz or La Fabrica in the Alameda area before flying home.
