Kirker Holidays Traveller Reviews

A short break in Berlin, saying at The Hotel De Rome. It is a good hotel in an excellent position and the staff were very efficient and helpful. Kirker obtained tickets at the Staats Oper for the ballet and opera at short notice., and provided a museum pass .

Mr Millar could not have been more helpful and went to much trouble to fulfil our requests.

We have recently returned from a short break in Krakow. Kirker organised the whole trip -from private pick up from airport-to arranging hotel which was amazing ( we were upgraded to a suite ! ) They booked the restaurant in hotel for my birthday meal . They organised our trip to Auschwitz by private car and back . Also transfer back -all by the wonderful taxi driver Jacek Skrzypek. The information we received was full of valuable ideas and places to visit/eat -Kirker are a professional tour operator, every detail is covered so we just had had to enjoy the “ break “.

Professional, knowledgeable of area, every detail thought of to allow you to have the best holiday without any worries. Loads of relevant information given with lots ideas where to eat /drink /visit etc -we can’t fault them and will definitely use again

Travelling to Venice on the VSOE was a long held 'bucket list' trip and it did not disappoint. Thanks to Kirker, everything went to plan and the trip exceeded our (already high) expectations. It was both glamorous and sumptuous and we loved every minute of the 26 hour trip! Kirker had also recommended our hotel in Venice (Hotel Nani Mocenigo) which was perfect. A wonderfully memorable holiday.

Couldn't have done more to make this a once in a lifetime trip very special; from their insightful and thoughtful recommendations, comprehensive travel notes and documentation, to the care and attention of their staff in the office and reps in Venice. Everything worked like clockwork and we will be forever grateful. This was our 7th trip with Kirker and we will be going back to Italy with them next year. We wouldn't dream of going with anyone else!

We flew to Venice and was met at the airport by a Kirker Agent. She escorted us on the water taxi and to our hotel Londra Palace. The Londra Palace was excellent. The room was very clean, service and food was lovely. All tours were well organised. We travelled back on The Orient Express. What a wonderful experience travelling on a train was. The whole holiday experience was faultless.

Sandra was excellent. She organised everything for us. We were kept well informed. All travel and tours went to plan. We will definitely use Kirker for all our future travel

Our first visit to this part of Italy. With the help of Kirker holidays we identified Maison La Minevetta as our preferred hotel. Partick Miller from Kirker personally recommended the hotel. Our travel arrangements worked perfectly both outbound and in bound. The paperwork contained in the Kirker wallet itemised all we needed. The hotel was ideally located and spectacular in all respects. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a junior suite which oozed quality and penache. We would whoeheartedly recommend upgrading. The staff spoke excellent english, were throughly helpful in every respect and the breakfast superb. No other meals were on offer but surprisingly the hotel offered free aperitif with only the drinks to be paid for in the evening. All round an exceptional 4 night 5 day break comprehensivily put together by Kirker.

Helpful througout making considered suggestions to compile our itinery. We felt confident and assured by the interactions we had with Kirker. A quality holiday organised by a quality company.

We did a five day tour of Malta. The guide was excellent. Extremely knowledgeable and a joy to be with. One of our very best travel experiences.

The entire tour was very well organized and everything went according to plan. We received all the information we needed and they were very helpful in helping us set up the trip. Given all that we did, the pricing was very reasonable. I would definitely use Kirker again.

We have just returned from Italy. We had a wonderful time. The flights etc all worked very well and the hotel was superb. There is much to see in the area and we would definitely like to book another trip to the same lake next year! The area is populated with medieval and renaissance castles, wonderful Roman ruins, dramatic scenery and has some of the finest Italian restaurants. Our hotel, the Villa Cortine was excellent with palatial grounds containing fountains and statues all beautifully landscaped with a central Palladio styled facade. The rooms and public areas continued the 16th Century style augmented by breathtaking views in all directions across the waters of the lake. The small town of Sirmione started at the gates of the villa with the quality of some of the restaurants in the town possibly exceeding even that of the villa. We would strongly recommend the Ristorante Risorgimento. As can be seen we would highly recommend all of this to travellers looking for the best.

We have used Kirker for many years and found them to be first rate. In the very rare event of a problem they can be relied upon to sort it out. This was especially true in 2010 when, we finished our trip to India, and our flight home was cancelled due to the Icelandic volcano. Working with Kirker we managed to travel back more or less on time via Qatar, Rome and then by a series of trains through Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Belgium to the UK.

We spent 5 days in Verona, taking in 2 operas at the Festival. It was more than we imagined or hoped for.

Kirker Travel specialise in this type of tailor made holiday. It was a very difficult time for them and our holiday and opera tickets had to be re-booked two years in succession due to Covid restrictions. They did an excellent job in difficult circumstances.

After two years of on and off lockdown, with endless restrictions, it was sheer bliss to be able to relax at two excellent hotels in rural Tuscany. Both hotels were in secluded and peaceful locations, but both were also within a short drive of the main cultural attractions, such as Florence, Siena, Cortona, and Pisa.

We have been travelling with Kirker holidays for many years, and have found them unfailingly reliable, helpful; and efficient. The hotels they select have been excellent, and during recent times have been very reassuring about finding alternative flights should there be disruption at Heathrow, or striking workers in the travel industry. In the event we had very well organised, on-time flights with no problems with baggage. The car hire arrangements were also very good.

Such a great holiday with invaluable input from staff at Kirker holidays.

Knowledgeable, helpful and very keen to tailor make a trip of a lifetime.
