Are you a past customer? If so enter our 20th anniversary competition to be in with the chance of winning £500 worth of McKinlay Kidd travel vouchers.
Holidays made differently create unique stories.
McKinlay Kidd has been creating tailor-made holidays for 20 years. Since 2003 we’ve been exploring the less trodden paths of the UK and Ireland, uncovering out of the way places and fascinating experiences, to help thousands of customers, like you, create their own unique stories. You’ve enthralled and delighted us with them over the years and now we’d like to share them as part of our 20th anniversary celebrations.
This competition is open to all those who have booked and travelled with us in the last 20 years. With either a photograph, a video or a short, written passage, we’d like you to let us know your unique McKinlay Kidd story and you could win £500 worth of McKinlay Kidd travel vouchers. You don’t just need to send a beautiful landscape, your memory can be something funny, quirky, personal or interesting – a story which best encapsulates the experience you had on a McKinlay Kidd holiday in Scotland, Ireland, England, Wales or the Channel Islands.
