Founded in 1986, Kirker Holidays has spent nearly four decades crafting tailor-made short breaks and holidays to the great classical cities of Europe. Expert advice and exceptional personal service are at the heart of every itinerary, designed to suit each traveller's own tastes and pace.
Every Kirker holiday is built around individually selected four and five star hotels, from grand palace hotels to intimate boutique residences. Clients choose their preferred combination of travel & flights from local airports, rail, ferry, or even the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express for a truly special occasion. Private car transfers are included on every holiday, ensuring a seamless door-to-door experience.
The Short Breaks brochure covers an extensive portfolio of destinations across Europe and beyond, spanning more than 80 classical cities as well as 250 relaxing coast and countryside retreats. Whether the appeal is the art galleries of Florence, the canals of Venice, or the vineyards of Burgundy, Kirker's curated selection caters to a wide range of cultural and leisure interests.
A standout feature of every Kirker holiday is access to the Kirker Concierge service, available to all clients. The Concierge team can arrange opera, concert or ballet tickets, book a walking tour with an expert local guide, or secure a table at a recommended restaurant. Added-value inclusions such as complimentary museum passes and gallery tickets are a regular feature of Kirker packages, alongside 24-hour emergency assistance throughout the trip.
