I am very happy to recommend DialAFlight, they are very friendly, very polite and very helpful,
Great service
Amazing service from you when LH rerouted us and didn’t tell us!
Your service was excellent and Adam who dealt with my flight provided very clear and helpful information. I will certainly be using your services again in the future.
I’ve always booked flights through DialAFlight and each time everything has worked perfectly. The staff are amazingly helpful and polite. Totally reassuring. I’m particularly appreciative of Noah Sharbash who knows my preferences and requirements. Thank you so much for making my journeys so much easier .
Please do continue with the continuous updates prior to departure to destination. It was very helpful
As usual, really great service all round. Thank you so much, guys! You're really and consistently the best at getting me where I want to go.
Gary was brilliant as ever in helping us put together a complicated trip to South America.
Very professional and efficient service provided by Justin. Communication was excellent.
The presence, and prompt responsiveness of my travel manager was reassuring. Even where the meaning or implications of a communication were unclear, he was patient in explaining. Always professional and personable. Thank you for helping make my adventure one of the most memorable experiences of my life.
Molly was excellent. More than helpful
Flights were good value for money and all good connections throughout. Great job
Alan and Gareth helped book our flights and supported us with cancelled flights and changes, making it very easy and stress free. Friendly and responsive service.
Rupert is a star
I feel confident that every time I need to go to Chile I will get an affordable ticket with your company
Everything went very smoothly
All went well.. no issues at all.
Connie was top notch once again! First choice.
Trusting one’s travel agent is critical and this is the case with Donovan and the DialAFlight team
The 8 hr wait in São Paulo for connecting flight was exhausting as couldn’t book our luggage in until 4 hrs before flight. Had been told at Edinburgh that our suitcases would go straight through to Illeus, but on flight were told we had to pick up and go through customs! Apart from that all went well
Once again, an excellent professional service.
10 out of 10
Marshall was excellent
Just love you guys. I know we muck you about sometimes because we're so indecisive and sometimes change our minds about our destination, but we eventually get there. Next trip in the planning stages...
Always a great service from Tristram.
Keep going team - you do a perfect job
Angolan Airlines to be avoided
I did not know that there was a direct flight option with Avianca
Perhaps remind people that in Buenos Aires taxis only take cash - no cards
Always so helpful, patient and efficient! Thank you Clark
Peru is often considered a backpacker’s destination - after all, one of the highlights is a long hike to Machu Picchu in less-than-glamorous (but certainly scenic) conditions.
But as the country has become increasingly popular destination, trips there have been transformed - and it's possible to stay in the lap of Peruvian luxury. Following the cue of Gwyneth Paltrow, who visited recently with her children Apple and Moses, five-star options include hotels with personal butler service, restaurants with world-renowned chefs, and even (if you can really push the boat out, so to speak) private train travel. An Inca citadel in the 15th and 16th centuries, Machu Picchu wasn’t on most of the world’s radar until it was ‘discovered’ by Hiram Bingham in 1911. With its breathtaking views of the Andes and improbably-located ruins, it’s truly a sight to behold.
Worth the trek: beautiful views of Machu Picchu
The Sumaq Machu Picchu Hotel is one of two five-star hotels in town - it's the go-to spot for celebrity visitors such as Indian actress Aishwarya Rai and has racked up accolades for being one of the top hotels in South America. After being picked up from the town’s rail station, guests are welcomed with a pisco sour - the country’s signature drink - as well as home-made chocolate in their rooms, where they can enjoy sweeping views of the Vilcanota river and mountains.
Following a day up at the ruins, nothing is more welcome than a stint at Sumaq’s Aqlla Spa, where visitors have a range of blissful treatments from which to choose, including the signature Aqlla massage and Andean stone massage.
Relax and enjoy an Andean stone massage
Though there are direct trains that take travellers to Machu Picchu all the way from Cusco, Inca Rail offers a private chartered service, the Inca Princess, from the Sacred Valley town of Ollantaytambo.
Stars to have chartered it have included Miss Paltrow, Mick Jagger, Bono, and David Guetta, as well as foreign leaders. The Inca Princess provides an entire private car with a dedicated staff of three for the 1 hour 45-minute journey.
For a $10,000 round trip, the car seats up to eight, who are welcomed on board with champagne or tea, served a gourmet meal and who watch the stunning countryside through UV-protected windows, or from the car's balcony.
Peru’s Sacred Valley is dotted with rich in Inca heritage, including villages, Ollantaytambo and Pisac, archaeological site, Moray, and ancient salt mine, Salineras de Maras.
The Tambo del Inka, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Valle Sagrado is a Starwood resort that has earned awards for sustainability and enticed famous names such as Susan Sarandon and, most recently, Jill Biden.
Tambo del Inka’s Hawa restaurant serves organic vegetables from its own garden, and adventurous eaters can try a local delicacy, cuy - that’s guinea pig - served in a less intimidating fillet form.
The former capital of the Inca empire, Cusco can keep a visitor busy for days with its beautiful churches, convents, and temples.
The JW Marriott Convento hotel is a restored 16th-century convent which retains some original structure. Check-in under the glow of a giant 70,000-Swarovski-crystal homage to the sun god Inti, and guests are welcomed with a helpful cup of coca or mint tea, which can alleviate altitude sickness. The property - the bedrooms of which have oxygen piped in - is built atop Inca ruins, and tours highlighting its history are offered.
The Belmond Palazio Nazarenas hotel, which has had stay One Direction and, again, Miss Paltrow, is also a former convent, with fountains in the courtyards dating back to the 17th century. The rooms here are also oxygen-enhanced. A personal butler escorts guests to their rooms.
The Senzo restaurant is beside the pool and is headed by Virgilio Martinez, the chef behind Lima’s world-renowned Central restaurant.
The capital is often overlooked, but is worth a stop for scoping out the pretty Miraflores neighbourhood and partaking in the foodie scene - particularly if you can get a reservation at Central, which ranked number four on the exclusive World’s 50 Best Restaurants list last year.
The award-winning Swissotel Lima boasts a grand lobby with live music. Bedrooms have walk-in closets and cosy robes - while the spa is the last word in luxury.
