TAILOR–MADE HOLIDAYS Many of our clients enjoy combining two or more destinations in a longer tailor-made holiday, and we can make the process a seamless experience with high-speed rail connections and efficient Kirker transfers, or self-drive using either a hire car or a Channel crossing with your own vehicle. Every tailor-made holiday is bespoke and we highly recommend discussing your own personal requirements with one of our expert team, but we have created a few suggested itineraries below to help inspire your journey. AN ITALIAN TRILOGY With high-speed rail connections and efficient Kirker transfers, it is easier than ever to combine Italy's key cultural cities in one tailor-made holiday. We work closely with a small group of Italian hotels who offer Kirker clients not only a very warm welcome in each of their properties, but also excellent value for money. Fly to Rome and stay first in the L'Orologio Roma, a stylish hotel in the heart of the historic city centre, walking distance from Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. Explore the Eternal City including theVatican and Sistine Chapel, the magnificent collection of
Bernini sculptures at the Borghese, or perhaps the less visited Palazzo Colonna, one of the oldest private palaces in Rome.Then travel by high-speed train to Florence, staying at the L'Orologio hotel on Piazza Santa Maria Novella, a few minutes from the Duomo. Finally, end your holiday with a stay at L'Orologio hotel in Venice, and a couple of days to enjoy La Serenissima. Price from £2,396 per person for a nine-night holiday, to include return flights with British Airways to Rome and back from Venice, private transfers in each city, first class rail travel between the cities and accommodation for three nights each in the 4* superior L'Orologio hotels in Rome, Florence and Venice.

ISTANBUL & CAPPADOCIA This contrasting itinerary combines one of the most exciting and fascinating capitals in the world with one of the most unique landscapes. Located where Asia meets Europe, Istanbul is a pulsating mix of ancient history, grand architecture and bustling bazaars.We start with the essential full-day tour of the Sultanahmet; it is difficult to do justice to spectacular sites such as the Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque without an expert guide by your side to reveal their absorbing histories.The same is true in the otherworldly Cappadocia, where we
include two days of guided tours to explore the fairy chimney rock formations, underground cities and rock cut churches with their beautiful frescoes. No visit to Cappadocia is compete without staying in one of the unique ‘cave hotels’ - the Argos In Cappadocia is one of the finest: rooms here are either cut into the rock or housed in one of the renovated stone mansions – it is the perfect location to watch the early morning hot air balloons drift over the stunning landscape Price from £2,298 per person for a five night holiday. Includes return flights from London, domestic flights between Istanbul and Cappadocia, accommodation with breakfast for five nights (3 nights at the Romance Hotel, Istanbul and 2 nights at the Argos In Cappadocia), private transfers throughout, a full day private sightseeing tour in Istanbul and two days private sightseeing excursions in Cappadocia with an expert local guide.
SELF–DRIVE SWITZERLAND For those who enjoy driving holidays, there is perhaps no better destination in the world than Switzerland, and it is very easy to reach with your own vehicle. Crossing by Eurotunnel, take the route east through the Ardennes Forest to Luxembourg, a charming small city with excellent
restaurants, historic architecture and very good local wines. Continue south through the RhineValley and the vineyards of Alsace, before reaching Lake Lucerne, where you stay for two nights in this beautiful lakeside town.Then head west, either by the mountain roads or the capital Bern, to Lausanne on Lake Geneva, for a further three nights, during which you can explore the lake by paddle steamer, visit Montreux andVevey, or nearby Neuchatel.

BERLIN, DRESDEN, PRAGUE & BUDAPEST This four-centre itinerary will take you through the very heart of Mitteleuropa, pausing in a range of very different but inextricably linked cities. Staring in the German capital where a fascinating but traumatic history meets one of Europe's most vibrant cultures, you then visit Dresden, a phoenix-like baroque miracle restored from rubble to its original glory. In Prague you will discover a city which has thrown off its reputation for revellers, and reclaimed its mediaeval Gothic centre, before finally arriving in Budapest, twin capital of the Hapsburg Empire, where recent years have seen swathes of the elegant architecture in Pest's grand boulevards carefully restored, and the Hungarian State Opera is an irresistible highlight.
Price from £2,597 per person for a ten-night holiday, to include return flights to Berlin and back from Budapest with British Airways, private car transfers in each city, first class rail between cities, 3 nights’ accommodation with breakfast at the Telegraphenamt in Berlin, 2 nights at the Bulow Palais in Dresden, 2 nights at the Boho in Prague and 3 nights at the Prestige in Budapest.
