About KILROY

KILROY is your go-to travel brand for young-minded people, looking for life-defining adventures anywhere in the world. We've always believed that travel has the power to shape people, and people have the power to shape the world. We help break down borders, shift perspectives, and open minds. Whether it’s through shared adventures, meaningful cultural experiences, or stepping out of your comfort zone, a journey with KILROY is a step toward a more connected, curious, and open-minded world.

Our story started back in 1946, when in post-war Scandinavia, student travel organisations laid the foundation for what would later become KILROY. Today, we’re market leaders in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, and the UK. KILROY is part of The Kilroy Group, which includes 7 brands (BENNS, Education Abroad, ISIC, Jysk Rejsebureau, KILROY, MyPlanet, and Winberg Travel). Together, we’re more than 400 passionate travel professionals across Europe, generating a total turnover of  £170m in 2024.

Our centrally located shops and offices are where travel dreams come true. This is where we meet customers face-to-face and help them plan the kind of adventure they'll never forget. We’re a close-knit team that keeps things relaxed but professional. We support each other, and we care deeply about the trips we create. Everyone here has their own travel journey, and we bring that passion into every conversation. That’s how we bring the power of travel to life — the KILROY way.
