Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Always a first class service from your excellent organisation and staff
Everything from DialAflight first class, however Air Canada lost our suitcases and still trying to get them back
Michelle and the team were very helpful and we will use DialAFlight again
Very prompt and professional service.
Everything went smoothly from first telephone call with Jane to the actual flight back home. Everything was as promised including assistance at each airport for every flight.
Everything you arranged was top-notch. Your communication was first class and kept us informed. Would have no hesitation in using your company again
Very easy to use, friendly, professional
Reggie was exceptionally good explaining and answering my questions. Very helpful with flight details. Would come back to you should I fly again.
Excellent service
Don’t book clients onto Aerolineas Argentinas. Everything about that airline (aside from the actual flight itself) was awful.
Our flight was cancelled unexpectedly. Airline did not keep us up to date. Contacted DialAFlight emergency out of hours and they were amazing. Sorted it all out for us, which removed all the stress and anxiety in a difficult situation! Thank you, will definitely recommend to family and friends.
Perfect trip. 5 stars
Very good responsive service, all emails were replied to, quickly and clearly. Thanks DialAFlight team!
Rebecca always does an amazing job with every trip I ask her for help with. A true asset to DialAFlight and wouldn’t go to anyone else.
Always helpful and patient. No query is too insignificant. A great company.
Excellent service. George was first class and gave us great confidence all would be good. He arranged assistance for my wife which was slick and invaluable. I recommend DialAFlight to everyone
Jane was brilliant and helpful and always quick to respond. Nothing was too much trouble
Fantastic help, communication and support as always. Many thanks especially to Philippa Wales.
Really appreciated updates.
Thank you for all your help
All great thanks.
As usual Stuart gave an excellent service. Our journey was seamless and worry free. Having the app to refer to was great. Thanks again - and we’ll be in touch soon to organise our next trip.
Excellent, the best travel agent!!
Excellent service - highly recommended
It's been a friendly and straightforward process.
Robbie Kharbhari excellent as always - reliable and sorted flights. Pleasure to talk to and got the job done!
Great service, thank you
I have booked several trips with DialAFlight and always had Ivor as my booking agent. Frankly, I wouldn’t use any other agency and Ivor is simply amazing. He has saved me a fortune in the past and always helps my wife and I to create bespoke travel experiences.
Always excellent service!
Quick service, prompt responses to queries. Would recommend
As soon as Donald Trump became President, the number of Americans applying to move to Canada went through the roof. And Brexit has even made many Britons think about heading for ‘The Great White North’.
But where in this vast country should you go? I’ve the answer – although I’m biased as my wife is from Ontario and I have travelled extensively through the province and fallen in love with it.
It's enormous (half a million square miles) and home to 40 per cent of Canadians. You need to base yourself in Toronto which, to the average Trump supporter, would be hell on Earth - it has three million inhabitants and more than 160 languages.
The city has changed a lot since I first visited in the mid-1990s. Lots of shiny new apartment blocks have been added to the downtown skyline of the CN Tower and the glorious Gothic Revival of the Royal York Hotel.
But the plus side is that the Lakeshore area is now properly utilised and full of things to do all year round. It’s also where you can pick up a ferry and take the ten-minute ride over to Centre Island.
Toronto’s offshore City Park is ideal for a family day-trip. On the way back, you could pop into the magnificent Roger’s Centre and catch a baseball game. The Toronto Blue Jays are the only Canadian team in Major League Baseball and they're pretty good. Nothing gives a bigger hit of ‘North Americana’ than a ball game, with the wise-cracks of the hot-dog sellers, antics of the energetic furry mascots and maybe even the game itself.
Afterwards, you'll need a good restaurant. My favourite is Byblos, a hip modern take on Lebanese cuisine.
Toronto is a city of villages - discover them on foot. Have breakfast at the Thompson Diner, check out Kensington Market to funk up your wardrobe, visit Chinatown for lunch at Lee Garden.
Come the weekend, Canadians go ‘up North’ to reconnect with their pioneer roots…and drink beer. Most people have a ‘cottage’ somewhere on one of the 30,000 lakes, ranging from a simple hut to vast affairs with helipads and boathouses.
We head for the Muskoka Lakes. Three vast lakes – Muskoka, Rosseau and Joseph – are dotted with hundreds of little wooded islands and connected by locks to form the ultimate summer playground (they freeze over in winter which is pretty fun, too).
If we are going for a short time we stay at the Red Leaves Resort on Rosseau. When we rent a cottage we also get a speedboat and life is spent almost permanently on the water.
We were having a meal with friends in Toronto when they insisted we go to stay in their cottage on Christian Island, on Georgian Bay. They said it was always unlocked and that the water was the clearest in Canada.
We took the rickety passenger ferry over and drove the short distance on a dirt track to Horseshoe Bay. We came to several rows of cottages nestled among birch trees. We found ours and dragged in everything we needed for our stay. It was compact, but incredibly sweet.
The beach was a two-minute walk away, and over the next few days we swam, paddle-boarded, ate simply but well and slept like kings. Life was good.
On the fourth day, we were eating brunch on the deck when a car turned into the driveway. Assuming neighbours were calling in to say hello we waved vigorously. The family exiting the car appeared very confused. They wondered what we were doing in their cottage!
We were in the wrong one. They were all left unlocked and we’d made a stupid mistake. We were mortified. They, being Canadians, were more upset at having to turf us out, although we explained we really did have the correct cottage somewhere nearby in which to stay.
It was so gloriously Canadian. These are good people, possibly the best in the world. We had to almost force our way out of their cottage. And our new friends lined up to wave us goodbye.
We can learn much from this wonderful country. For Trump, Brexit, anything really, there is a solution. Canada – it truly rocks.
