Explore Scotland by Train 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.

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.

Our primary purpose was to see all things associated with King James VI of Scotland, who authorized the creation of the King James Bible (the greatest Bible ever). We were blessed with amazing weather, good connections with other brothers and sisters in Christ, and no hiccups with travel or accommodations.

McKinlay Kidd Holiday Tours is a great outfit. They are very accommodating, cooperative, pleasant to deal with, always ensuring all your travel needs are met and satisfied. They are also very easy to contact and willing to assist (Lucy in particular), without having to go though an automated answering system or answer bot.

McKinlay Kidd made possible for us to have a lovely tour around Scotland without having my husband to drive. Everything was on target, from the train schedules to the choice of hotels, B/B’s. Plus, our private guides were extremely knowledgeable and provided us with history of the areas. We love Scotland!

Fantastic

We saw many beautiful and historic sites and had lovely walks around everywhere we went when it wasn't pouring rain. The train journeys we were able to take were lovely. The accommodations were excellent.

They were extremely helpful in making alternate arrangements when it was required because of the heavy rains. We never felt abandoned and knew that McKinlay Kidd would take care of us. It was a nice feeling. For that reason alone I would rebook with them because when something goes wrong that is when you really want a tour company who cares.

We bought the "Explore Scotland by Train" holiday with McKinlay Kidd and it was wonderful. They organized everything for us perfectly. Train tickets, taxis, B&B's, Isle fo Skye tour... everything was planned for us. We just had to relax and enjoy our vacation. The B&B's that they chose were all gems. I did fall in love with Scotland, and I now really want to travel to Ireland, England and Wales. I will definitely call McKinlay Kidd for my next trip. Thank you!

Kevin was really nice. He organized everything for us with great detail. And, when our train was late to Spean Bridge, McKinlay Kidd answered quickly to make sure that our taxi would be there to meet us later.

We were on an 8-day McKinlay Kidd self-guided train tour of Scotland. It was superbly done, the transportation was perfect, and the hotels and B&Bs charming, comfortable, and warm. From start to finish, it was an outstanding holiday.

McKinlay Kidd did everything they committed to do. Conor Donnelly, our point of contact with McKinlay Kidd was outstanding. Great communications, great planning tools, outstanding coordination of travel and accomodations, and most importantly, everything went as it was planned....no glitches. I can't say enough about how well our holiday went...it was simply terrific.

Everything ran so smoothly on our Highlands by Train experience. Accommodations were first class. Personalized service all the way along.

McKinlay Kidd took care of all the details. Stress free for us as travelers.

We had a 24 day holiday exploring Scotland by rail. All of the accommodations and train travel were arranged by McKinlay Kidd. Most days were on our own but our tour operator arranged several amazing guided tours and excursions for us.

McKinlay Kidd was easy to work with. They are VERY accessible and attentive. We could not be more pleased.

Mckinlay Kidd had everything well planned and it was easily executed. Hotels, trains, car service, all were excellent.
