The tour was superbly organised by yourselves great hotels and tastings and to top it all the sun shone throughout our tour all seven days,making our driving all the more pleasant through the lovely countryside.

McKinlay Kidd organised everything extremely well have forward your company to my friends looking to do something similar.

Landing on the beach at Barra is really memorable and all the people in the Outer Hebrides could not be more helpful.

McKinley Kidd provided an excellent, professional service.

We traveled independently by train throughout Scotland with the tour company booking the trains, accommodation, and transportation. Most of the trip was in rural Scotland and local transportation and tours were also booked by travel company.

Good communication with our travel agent Carol prior to the trip. Every detail was planned carefully so we had all our seats booked on trains, we were met at each stop and transferred seamlessly to each accommodation or activity. The accommodation and activities were excellent and provided a good variety for our 3 week trip. We had one conflict which was addressed within minutes of sending an email when we were not expecting to hear back until the next business day.

It was well organised with plenty of variety. The documentation was detailed, clear and expertly laid out. All the hotels were well above average with delicious meals. We had excellent suggestions for walks, excursions and other restaurants The weather was good and the scenery divine. The trains taxis and lifts were all on time clean and comfortable with very pleasant drivers

Excellent, kind and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble The whole trip was well thought out

We came to McKinlay Kidd with only an outline idea of what we required, which had to fit in with our specific dates and a family wedding in Ireland. They came up with a great plan, which we enjoyed immensely and fitted in perfectly. We stayed in some really good hotels and enjoyed the many suggestions for our activities.

Great attention to detail and customer service. Very good recommendations and sensible pricing.

Fly drive to Orkney and Shetland. Two excellent hotels with very helpful staff. Will certainly use McKinlay Kidd again

Well organised operation. Helpful staff with prompt replies to questions and comments.

We have had the most marvellous tour organised to perfection by McKinley Kidd. With short hops on trains, steam train and a ferry as well as charming taxi transfers, we saw much of the magic of the Western Highlands. Spean Brisge to Mallaig, Arisaig and Morar, over to Skye and great beauty, Kyle and the lovely Plockton before Fort George and Inverness.

McKinley Kidd worked tirelessly to provide a superb experience tailored to our wishes. Courteous, kind, thoughtful and innovative, we highly recommend them.
