On first glance, £899 seems like a lot of money. Not, you know, millions a lot, but still…not exactly loose change. For £899, you can get two nights at The Sanderson hotel in London. You can get three quarters of a Mulberry handbag. You can get three bottles of Cristal champagne, or a probably quite [...]
A decade or so ago, telling a friend that you were taking your child to a music festival probably elicited a similar reaction to informing them that you were planning on throwing your little angel out of a window onto a bed of nails. But times, as they do, have changed. Whilst there are elements [...]
When I heard the words Hawaii and San Francisco, I can’t deny that my nosy little travellers ears pricked up. San Francisco is one of my favourite cities – there’s just something about that liberal-for-life vibe and fresh sea air – and Hawaii is, well, Hawaii – say no more! Major Cruise are offering a [...]
Mother Nature, we salute you. As mere mortals, even with our best efforts we haven’t even come close to reproducing what you’re capable of just by chilling out for a few billion years. Here’s our rundown of her top 10 geological wonders… Pamukkale In Turkish, this name literally means Cotton Castle, and looking at this [...]
Istanbul is top of my (very long) list of places to visit this summer – and this deal promises to take me few steps closer to my dreams of a Turkish adventure! There’s just something about that heady combination of rich history, gorgeous weather (always important) and modern glamour that really appeals – and Globehunters [...]
What’s not to love about the classic road trip? Freedom to roam where you please, endlessly changing scenery and the fact that you can shout “ROAD TRIP!” like a bikini-clad spring breaker at any moment during your trip and no one can tell you off about it – these are not things to be sniffed [...]
At dealchecker we do love being able (paid, even!) to gaze at stunning pictures of the world’s natural scenery, though it can bring on extreme bouts of jealousy that we’re not there right now. And it’s pretty hard to beat a good lake picture. That’s why we’re singing the praises of heading to a lake [...]
As it’s April Fools’ Day we couldn’t resist bringing you some unbelievable experience offers. Whilst we’re normally all about Real Deals, today there’s a twist – some of the offers are completely fake. We promise that some of these bizarre activities are real experiences you can actually buy! What’s more they’re great value, all price [...]
I think the title speaks for itself, so here it is, our rundown of the top five cities in the world to be gay…which ones would you add to the list?! San Francisco Historically, it’s always been a thriving hub of gay culture – and it still is. From the rainbow flags hanging from many [...]
I’m a sucker for any suggestion of some old-school glamour from a holiday. The merest mention of fancy sleeper services, steam ships or “season” and “Italy” in the same sentence and I’m already imagining my way into the pages of A Room with a View (maybe minus a chaperone?). Say those four magic words “Golden [...]
The viewing platform known as “The View” atop London’s latest skyscraper and Western Europe’s highest building has been open one month now, so dealchecker thought it was ‘high’ time (groan) we got ourselves to the summit of The Shard to suss out the value of that view; is £25 for a 40 mile vista a [...]
Ah love! It’s not rational or quantifiable, and just what it means can be hard to pin down. In many places it is symbolised by pairs of lovers attaching a padlock – or love locks as they are known – to the same spot as hundreds, if not thousands have done before. But councils everywhere [...]
So you’re off on holiday and it’s somewhere exciting. The kind of exciting where insects are a local delicacy, no-one speaks your language and you have 15 cities to see in four days. Do you go it alone? Launching headfirst into an exotic culture and bewildering bus timetables or let an expert guide you… and [...]
In case you hadn’t noticed, we’re pretty potty about travel here. And when we’re not searching for deals, planning our own holidays, or (best of all) being on holiday, we like to read travel blogs about other peoples’ holidays. So here are the travel blogs that we’re reading at the moment! Scouting NY Exploring [...]
When it comes to the business of travelling the world, there’s a lot that can go wrong. From missed flights and lost passports to forgotten luggage, it’s a wonder that anyone actually manages to leave the country they were born in. I spoke to a few of the dealcheckers about their own personal travel Achilles [...]
This week we’ve spotted an offer over at Africa Sky that’s usually reserved for a honeymoon or a trip of a lifetime – but at the almost-budget-friendly price of £1,499 per person! Ok, so it’s not a month-long extravaganza, but at eight nights we prefer to think of it as small but perfectly formed. And [...]
dealcheckers are starting to come back from their winter ski holidays, and they have been reporting some crazy trends! Now, as you all know, we’re partial to a little bit of dressing up, but these people seem really committed. We’re going to break these trends down for you, so you can join in (or, more [...]
As we all know, New Year is a time to make resolutions that you’ll keep for…oh, three weeks or so, if they haven’t gone out of the window already. However, when it comes to your steadfast resolve that this year you WILL go away for a fantastic holiday – well, that’s one promise that’s somehow [...]
This week here at dealchecker we’re doing our bit to address the impending crisis facing the nation. No, not the newly re-classified triple-dip recession – we’re holiday experts not financial whizz-kids! The annual problem of Christmas gifts and what to get for everybody. So many to get, so little time! Well, we’ve found three great [...]
What do you get for that person in your life who loves travel, jets off several times a year, and always has stories about exotic escapades and far-off fun? Well, we’ve been pondering the same thing here, as the dealchecker office is jam-packed with just such adventurous types. So here is a quick run-down of [...]
