Question: Do your holidays include transfers?
Answer: Our holidays include private transfers on arrival and on departure – instantly removing the anxiety that many experience when arriving in an unfamiliar destination. No taxis, no fare negotiation – just a warm welcome and a smooth journey to your chosen hotel. Certain holidays to rural destinations include hire car.
Question: Can you arrange tailor-made itineraries?
Answer: Yes. You may choose to visit two or more destinations in one holiday. Fly into one airport and back from another – why not include a mixture of air travel with rail? Our experienced tailor-made department can help you to get the most out of your holiday. We thoroughly recommend longer itineraries combining a few days in a city followed by 3 or 4 nights relaxing in one of our countryside, lakeside or coastal properties. We take immense pride in creating carefully crafted holidays, and although we are not necessarily the cheapest, we do aim to offer exceptional overall value for money and rely on our clients for repeat business and recommendations for our future success.

Question: Can I fly from my local airport?
Answer: Yes, we always try to book flights from your local airport, and, although we recommend flights with scheduled airlines, we can also book seats with ‘no frills’ carriers if you wish. However, before confirming a ‘no frills’ flight, we would always check our latest special offers with a scheduled carrier as their prices are now very competitive and they tend to offer a higher level of service and a more reliable timetable.
Question: I have already booked my flights, can you still arrange for a hotel and transfers?
Answer: We would be happy to book all other aspects of your holiday, e.g. transfers and hotel accommodation. Prices are quoted immediately and include: breakfast, tax and service at the hotel, plus transfers and Kirker extras such as Uffizi gallery tickets (Florence) or Doge’s Palace tickets (Venice).
Question: How do I know if it is safe to travel?
Answer: Travelling to any destination has an element of risk, as indeed does staying at home. However the level of risk changes on a regular basis and the best guide to the current situation in any given destination is the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) Travel Advice website >> https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice where you can find the government’s latest information and recommendations for every country in the world. The current version of this advice for your destination of choice will also be enclosed with your Kirker travel documents. If you have any specific concerns please telephone 020 7593 2288 to speak to a member of the Kirker team.
