We see you asking... the answer is yes!
Maybe you’ve seen one of our ads on social media. Maybe you found us on Google while looking for an adventure. Or perhaps you’ve seen one of our epic travel competitions offering free trips to Thailand, Morocco, Vietnam, Costa Rica and loads more!
You think we look pretty cool, but you’re wondering: is this company for real?!
We’re 100% real, baby!
Need convincing? Let’s jump into it!
We’ve been around awhile
KILROY might be a new name in the UK. But the brand was born in Denmark way back in 1991 - we’re probably older than most of our travellers!
Right now, KILROY is the biggest student and youth travel brand in seven other countries – Denmark, Norway, Sweden, The Netherlands, Finland, Belgium and Iceland. (Not to toot our own trumpet or anything).
We’ve been in the UK since 2023, but with 30 years of experience and legacy behind us, we know exactly what we’re doing.
We work with well-known partners
You might not have heard much of KILROY before. But we bet you’re familiar with some of our partners. Let’s start with the big one – G Adventures. They’ve also been in the business for over 30 years, offering small-group adventures to pretty much every corner of the globe.
Then there’s Intro Travel – maybe you’ve seen their ads on Facebook? They’ve also sent thousands of 18-40-year-olds on epic adventures around Asia, Australia and NZ, and more recently, Central America and South Africa.
Considering volunteering abroad? Then maybe you’ve heard of GVI – they're one of our biggest volunteer partners.
If you’re a surfer, perhaps you’ve heard of La Point and Mojo Surf? We work with them too!
What we’re trying to say is that we work with some of the biggest and best names in the business, whether that’s for group tours, volunteering projects, surf camps, diving schools, working holidays – you name it!
We come highly recommended
KILROY might only have been in the UK for a wee few years. But already we’ve sent hundreds of young adults on epic trips abroad. And they have great things to say about us.
Don’t believe us? Check out all our 5-star reviews on Google (all from real humans!).
Or you could check out reviews for KILROY in other countries on Trustpilot. Here you’ll find reviews spanning back years.
We really are experts
Our team of travel advisors – not only are they 100% real (you can schedule a video call with them to verify their human status, if you like), but they’re also experienced travellers and pros at what they do.
They’ll listen to your hopes and dreams, take your budget into account, and design you an incredible trip using their hard-earned know-how to find great flight deals, cool hostels and unforgettable experiences.
They often feature in our social media videos, sharing travel tips and advice, so if you want to get to know them from a distance (without being creepy), follow us on Instagram or TikTok.
We even have our own store
If you’re Bristol-based, come and see us in the flesh! We have a pretty sweet spot right on the Clifton Triangle where you can come and hang out with our travel experts. Grab yourself a cold beverage from the fridge, or ask for a cuppa, and sit and chat travel with us.
Not Bristol-based? Well, you’re still welcome to come visit us! We’ve had a few keen young travellers journey from afar just to speak to us in the flesh. All the way from Plymouth, to be precise. Why not make a day of it? There’s loads to do in Bristol – we love the city!
Otherwise, you can schedule a video call with the team for a free one-on-one travel advice session. BYO drinks.
We’re financially protected
This may not be the most interesting of topics (which is why we’ve left it til last). But as a legit UK travel business, we offer our travellers financial protection through ATOL.
When you book your flights and land arrangements with KILROY, you’re ATOL protected. Which means that if your travel company or airline were to collapse while you’re abroad, you won’t be stranded. There’s money in the pot to get you back home.
Now do you believe we’re legit?
We hope so! Because if this doesn’t convince you, nothing will! Aside from travelling with us and finding out first-hand, of course.
But we understand choosing a company to book your once-in-a-lifetime adventure with takes time. And trust.
So, if you’d like to get to know us a bit better before speaking to our team, sign up to our mailing list. We’ll send you loads of travel inspiration, keep you posted on new tours and experiences, and let you know when we’re running another awesome giveaway.
Let’s stay in touch.
