Kirker Holidays

Short breaks and tailor-made holidays

Since 1986, Kirker Holidays has perfected the art of European cultural travel, and their expertise shows in every carefully curated itinerary they create for our clients. What sets them apart is their genuine commitment to first-hand knowledge - their team personally visits every hotel and destination they feature, ensuring the recommendations we pass on to you are based on real experience.


Kirker's attention to detail perfectly matches our own approach to client service. Their complimentary concierge service handles everything from skip-the-line museum tickets to opera reservations and restaurant bookings, while their included cultural extras - museum passes, gallery tickets, guided tours - ensure our clients get the most from their precious time away. Whether it's knowing the best room in a Parisian hotel or the quietest time to visit Venice, their 38 years of experience translates into insider knowledge that transforms good holidays into exceptional ones.


We particularly value their investment in keeping our team updated through educational trips, like Debbie's cultural discovery of Tenerife and Chantelle's Italian adventure. These experiences enable us to speak with confidence about destinations and properties, sharing genuine insights rather than brochure descriptions.


In addition to tailor-made short breaks, Kirker offers a comprehensive programme of escorted cultural tours and music holidays - perfect for those who enjoy travelling in small groups with expert lecturers. Subjects include art, architecture, gardens, history, music, and food and wine. Please ask the team for further information on these relaxed itineraries designed for like-minded travellers.


For discerning travellers seeking Europe's great cultural cities, coast and countryside locations, Kirker delivers that perfect blend of comfort, authenticity and seamless organisation.
