Kirker Holidays Traveller Reviews

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.

We spent 3 days in Montenegro at the Heritage Grand hotel in Perast. The hotel was immaculately maintained, excellent staff, glorious views from a lovely bedroom overlooking the sea. Breakfast had every possible thing you could want to eat.

We had been concerned about flight cancellations and rang our tour operator to ask his advice about booking back up flights to get home in case of cancellations, or even if we should cancel the whole trip. He was extremely reassuring and advised us not to cancel, and to view the likelihood of cancellations in context. How right and calm he was. Everything worked brilliantly. His advice on going there in the first place was also spot on.

Kirker Holidays provided the travel arrangements for the Sunday Times 'Where am I' travel quiz. We flew Heathrow to Prague, a car was waiting to convey us to the chosen hotel. Kirker provided information about what to see and how to get around and also included a morning walking tour. On the final day the car was waiting to transport us back to the airport in good time for our return flight. All arrangements went exactly according to plan, leaving us to concentrate on appreciating the beauties of Prague.

Kirker Holidays were helpful and efficient - everything you expect from a good tour operator.
