Reviews of McKinlay Kidd










Second absolutely fabulous MKK bespeak tour of Scotland. Wouldn't even consider doing it otherwise.
This tour comprised Edinburgh, Orkney, and the North East. Absolutely fantasist. (Our first w/ MKK was primarily in the Hebrides.) These people are genuine professionals in the arrangement of bespoke tours.

MKK are genuine professionals of the highest order. We would not consider another visit with any but MKK arranging it.
Thank you very much indeed Fred. It was indeed a pleasure to welcome you and the family back to Scotland.





A truly pleasurable trip
Scotland lived up to its reputation. The highlands, the impressive landscapes, the beautiful little nooks and spots in the interiors as well as the cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh helped me and my daughter escape our daily grind and wander in bliss.

absolutely a pleasure to deal with, this team has helped me enhance my experience - their attention to small details, their selection of properties and destinations especially within the highlands and Robert's tips for exploring each place was hugely helpful. As an experienced traveller, I will definitely recommend them to anyone who would like to explore North of England differently. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much Sharmistha. We are delighted that you both enjoyed your exploration of Scotland.





Car Club Weekend
A short break to Ullapool and environs. It was absolutely delightful with excellent hotel and lovely tour.

McKinlay Kidd organised a super holiday for us. Hotel was excellent, food was delicious, and the staff really friendly. Couldn't have asked for more.
Thank you for your kind comments Simon. This is one of our favourite parts of Scotland.

Another fabulous trip with McKinlay Kidd
We traveled the western coast of Ireland -- The Wild Atlantic Way. We stayed in three different locations and saw as much of the coast as we could. It was wonderful.

This was our second trip with McKinlay Kidd. Their level of customer service is off the charts. We would recommend them to anyone and definitely hope to travel with them again.
It is always a pleasure to receive such great feedback and we were delighted to look after your travel plans for a second time. Thank you for taking the time to write to us.





Isles of Skye and Mull
We booked our four-day trip to Skye and Mull with McKinlay Kidd--hotels, ferry reservations, and car. We highly recommend them. Robert held our hands over the phone during some potential ferry problems due to rough weather. He contacted the ferry company directly and kept us posted. In the end, all was well, but we were so relieved to have someone to call who could figure out what was going on and report back. Both of our hotels--Eilean ...

In the end, all was well, but we were so relieved to have someone to call who could figure out what was going on and report back. Both of our hotels--Eilean Iarmain on Skye and Tobermory Hotel on Mull--were terrific. On Skye, we were on the Sleat Peninsula with a lovely view of a small cove. The hotel pub food was excellent, and the service was friendly. On Mull, we were in the town on the harbor, welcomed by friendly staff who were very knowledgable about the history of Mull. The car routes provided were extremely useful, as was Robert's guide to favorite places. McKinlay Kidd also provides a good driving map of Scotland.

Very helpful from start to finish.
Thank you Ellen. Two special islands, but very different to each other indeed!





Short and Sweet!
I decided to have a weekend in the Orkneys. Mckinlay Kidd organised the hotel and booked me a self-drive car. it was early October and the weather was kind. I saw Skara Brae in all its glory. Driving is a special experience because of the narrow roads! Stromness has such narrow streets that cars cannot pass

Many thanks Anne. We are really pleased that our "Slowly Round Scotland by Train" holiday was such a success.





Above and beyond the expectations
Great survey tour of Scotland from the major cities through the Highlands and Islands to the Lowlands. A nice little view into the beauty of the Scottish landscape.

From booking to departure, nothing was left to chance. They think of everything you need to know and some things that you never thought to think about. When I return to holiday in Ireland or Scotland, I'll use McKinlay Kidd again.
Thank you for you kind comments Frank.
