McKinlay Kidd Traveller Reviews

Really enjoyed our trip. Great mix of travel by train and accommodation was awesome.

McKinney Kidd couldn’t have been more helpful. Especially Lucy who was fantastic.

A no rush holiday.

Easy access when problems arise.

We much preferred this to a Group Tour. Our accommodations were excellent and many were smaller and unique, Something you would not get in a larger tour group. We also felt that we had a bigger exposure to the local people and culture by travelling this way/

McKinley Kidd were great. Their documentation was easy to follow and they were available 24/7 to answer any questions or concerns. Loved the accommodations that they chose.

We loved every moment of our trip. We did the Car-free Scottish Island Hopping tour visiting Iona, Mull and Skye by train, ferry, bus and taxi. All accommodation, transfers and organisation was excellent and the experience was delightful.

We loved every moment of our trip. We did the Car-free Scottish Island Hopping tour visiting Iona, Mull and Skye by train, ferry, bus and taxi. The McKinlay Kidd plan, organisation and co-ordination was professional and perfect and the destination accommodations were faultless. Plans had to change a couple of times as the weather interfered with 2 ferry crossings, but each time the wonderful staff at McKinlay Kidd advised us of changes and organised alternatives that brought everything back on track.

Excellent team

Excellent Person

For many years I sang Scottish songs at meetings of our local Caledonian Society. To see the places in real life was a surreal experience: Skye, the Cuilin Hills, Lochaber, the lochs and so much more. The arrangements were smoothly done and the accommodation was luxurious.

Our guide on Skye was an elderly gentleman called McLeod, I think his first name was Donald. He gave us a wonderful tour of the island. I have a fair knowledge of, and interest in, the history of the area, and a great interest in languages, so he, as a native Gaelic speaker born on Skye, was the ideal person for me. He was able to fill in so many historic and linguistic details. It was a magical tour in spite of the rain and cold!

We visited Scotland, using the Grand Tour Of Scotland by Rail option of McKinley Kidd. First visit to that part of the world and thoroughly enjoyed it. Well organized. Excellent small tour operatives. Truly felt welcome and at home in all the accommodations. Train trips were wonderful.

Everything well organized. All glitches addressed. We felt spoiled and well cared for, even when we never met the operators in person.

I couldn't speak more highly for our trip to Edinburgh & Outer Islands which was organized by McKinlay Kidd.

The entire trip was really wonderful due to the way everything went so smoothly from the flights to the ferries and the excellent accommodation.

A fly drive first to Orkney where we stayed inKirkwall for 5 nightand travelled all over the island visiting all the major sites. Then to Shetland two nights in the south, four nights near Lerwick and then another 4 nights near Brae. Again using the car to visit many sites. All this organised by McKinley Kidd. Evereything went smoothy hotels/BB's excellent, advice given very relevant and all paperwork very detailed.

From the outset, very helpful and all details catered for. Changes were made very easily and all bookings were spot on. Flights, car hire and accomodation bookings excellent. A very detailed itinery was sent before we left home, extra information regarding places to eat and visit were excellent.

Went up the west coast driving a recommended route stopping for meals and accommodation at McK-K organised locations.

Very friendly and supportive. Kept in touch with us while we worked out a solution to arriving late due to train delays, and being unable to pick up the hire car as it was out of normal business hours when we finally got in to Glasgow.
