Ever since we launched Kirker in 1986, our aim has been to provide discerning travellers with carefully planned itineraries including selected hotels which provide outstanding service. Other key elements include private transfers and private tours which form part of a well-researched itinerary that enables you to make the most of your budget and the time you have available. Whether it is a short break to a classic European city, an escorted Cultural Tour or Music Holiday in the company of an outstanding Tour Lecturer, or a longer tailor-made holiday, our team of experts will create the perfect itinerary. The Kirker Concierge is at your disposal to arrange opera and concert tickets, restaurant reservations and timed museum entrance tickets.
If you book with Kirker, we promise to do our utmost to provide you with outstanding service before, during and after your holiday.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.

"My daughter and I had a lovely time in Florence. Thank you for all your help and making the arrangements work despite the difficult circumstances. Everything went according to plan; the flights to and from London City were especially good for us as and hotel, museums and restaurant bookings all worked well. We shan’t hesitate to use Kirker again."
"I usually book trips online… but at the moment I want the reassurance of a Kirker holiday."
"The tour leader and the lecturer were an impressive and professional team who arrived everywhere on time, solved problems as soon as they arose and looked after the group cheerfully and sociably. A class act!"
