June 17, 2013 Comments OffOne of the vital parts of preparing for a holiday is considering how you’ll get around your chosen destination. In many parts of the world, car hire on holiday is by far the easiest option and offers the best value for money to boot. However, you might just end up in a place where the [...]
If you’ve recently searched for a holiday to Portugal, chances are you’ve probably come across a few breaks promising to take you to a certain southern enclave known as the Algarve. Am I right? It’s a popular destination, and its popularity is justified – it’s great value, chock full of fabulous beaches, and packed to [...]

It’s no secret: at dealchecker we do love our food, if the number of cakes we get through each week is anything to go by. And we all agree that one of the best parts of travelling is the chance to experience cuisine from all over the world. The die-hard foodies among us might well [...]
With holidays, as with fashion, times are constantly a-changing, with everyone eager to find out what’s the next Big Thing, the up-and-coming and the one-to-watch. And like with fashion, to get ahead of the curve it’s always worth having a look back at previous trends too, vintage destinations if you will, to uncover hidden or [...]
It might be because a few of the dealcheckers are visiting Spain this summer, but we’re suddenly really in the mood for a taste of the historic Spanish city of Valencia! Luckily for us (and you!), Packageholidays4less are offering a three night break with breakfast from only £178 per person – that’s 38% off the [...]
A holiday is commonly a time in which both body and mind are given licence to crack open a bottle of rosé wine and kick back on a sunlounger – both literally and metaphorically. For most of us, learning is reserved for the rest of the year – or is it? There are some holidays [...]
Wimbledon may be one of my favourite things to watch EVER but it sure can be tricky to go and see the tennis in person. Hospitality packages are expensive, queuing is certainly not a guaranteed way to do it, and you’ve already missed the boat for the ticket ballot when it comes to 2013. I [...]
Canada’s birthday is 1st July (you can have that fact for free) and as befits any birthday the revellers come out in full force! So you’re just in time to get your hands on some last minute flights and join in the party with these famously friendly people. Whether you’re after a city break or [...]
Disaster! You’re under medical advice to avoid the hard liquor on the exact weekend you had planned to spend exploring all the cultural charm of Dublin’s Temple Bar. As Alanis Morissette would warble, “isn’t it ironic”. Well, no, not really. Luckily Dublin’s a stunning city which doesn’t need any beer-goggle enhancement. And to prove it, [...]
I’ve been watching a lot of films recently where Istanbul has featured in all its glory, not least Skyfall and Samsara. Ok, I’m a bit behind on my pop culture. But that doesn’t change the fact that films like these have made Istanbul one of the top city breaks in 2013! And I’m after a [...]
A great game is always worth travelling for – but some host venues are always going to mean more than others. Here we list our top sporting venues, which can give us tingles down our spines simply by stepping through the gates. Wembley Stadium – London, UK Wembley Stadium – Image © Howard Layne It’s [...]
There’s no mistaking it: the theme park season is upon us! Even with early booking discounts prices can still be way in excess of £100 for a family of four, and that doesn’t even include travel or food! So if you want to save a bit of cash or are just bored with the usual [...]
The French-owned island of Corsica is tipped to be one of the most popular Mediterranean island destinations of summer 2013, and there are certainly a lot to choose from, with Majorca, Ibiza, Santorini and Corfu plus many more all gunning for the honours! Corsica’s nearest neighbour is Sardinia, and despite French ownership the local culture [...]
The British love affair with the Spanish resorts is decades old now – I may be too young to remember how it began, but I can clearly remember my first trip to Spain, and why I’m crazy about this land of sun, sand and sangria (I might have given away the answer there). Here are [...]
The UN has announced this week that we, by which I mean people, not just the dealchecker population, need to eat more insects. In the words of Alice in Wonderland “I can’t very well have more”, precisely because I have never eaten a dish that knowingly contained insects. Unless you count that fly I accidentally [...]
It is my belief that no one is safe from the sultry charms of a truly great city-centre view. You know the kind – that perilously gorgeous, vertiginous cityscape peppered with tiny toy-town landmarks and resplendent with a horizon line so epic that it makes grown men weep into their binoculars. The one that makes [...]
If there is one thing I certainly can’t resist then it’s the lure of delicious food! This week’s offer from Great Little Breaks combines this with a stay in the countryside of south Devon, close to glorious beaches and Dartmoor National Park. Two nights start from £129 per person with no weekend supplement – that’s [...]
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 [...]
