Kirker

The UK’s leading specialist in short breaks for more than 35 years, Kirker Holidays provides carefully crafted tailor-made holidays to 70 classic cities and over 250 relaxing rural locations throughout Europe and beyond. As one of our specialist sister brands, we work closely with Kirker’s expert team to create your perfect itinerary, combining the best four- and five-star hotels with private transfers and flights or rail travel.

Explore the great classical cities of Europe such as Paris, Vienna, Rome, Venice, Florence, Madrid, Berlin and Amsterdam, with the help of the Kirker Concierge to arrange private guided tours, opera and concert tickets and restaurant recommendations. Visit Kirker’s favourite elegant countryside and coastal retreats in regions such as Tuscany, Provence, the Amalfi Coast and Andalucía, with car hire or a private car and driver. 

If you prefer to travel by rail, Kirker can organise journeys by Eurostar and high-speed train throughout Europe, including overnight sleepers, panoramic mountain railways and luxury trains such as the legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express – the ultimate way to celebrate a special occasion in style. From palatial grand hotels to privately-owned boutique residences, each of Kirker’s hotels has been personally visited and selected for charm, character and comfort. 

In addition, Kirker offers a range of escorted cultural tours & music holidays – these are small group tours in the company of an expert lecturer. Subjects include art, architecture, history, archaeology, battlefields, gardens, wine, opera and science, and highlights also include a programme of exclusive Kirker Music Festivals in beautiful settings from Suffolk and Cornwall to Tenerife and the Bay of Naples.
