Grand Tour of Scotland by Train Traveller Reviews

Our first time in Scotland and we decided not to drive and instead took the railway tour. Was very happy with McKinley kids selection of accommodations extra tours and overall area of Scotland.

I started with a Victoria but Lucy helped us during her actual tour with a couple of glitches. Very happy they answered lots of questions and I felt prepared and ready to go ahead of time

The 14 day tour captured the key gems of Scotland incorporating a number of islands - Isle of Staffa, Iona, Mull, Skye and Orkney. The tour was comprehensive and well balanced from a time perspective underpinned by quality organisation, research, accommodation and content including back up plans in the event of adverse weather.

McKinlay and Kidd delivered a highly professional and value packed tour backed up with great communication, support and flexibility. It was evident that McKinlay and Kidd have a great and respectful relationship with their service providers that was evident at all times during the tour.

From the 27 Aug to the 12 of Sep, my wife, Karen and I toured Scotland by rail on a tour organised by the superstars at McKinley Kidd. It was outstanding! The organisation, the accommodation, tours and information were first class! We cannot recommend this tour highly enough!

Nothing was too much trouble. They were professional, informative, knowledgeable and organised. We could not have asked for more

It was wonderful. I could never have done this myself and everything went perfectly.

I used McKinlay Kidd because I had travelled with them once before. I was not disappointed this time and would book wth them again

Relaxed in the sense that I didn’t have to reserve train tickets & lodging, and activities to plan

Everything well planned & shared to us in a summary page in different categories. The same w/ itinerary & tickets reservations. If there was a cancellation, we would receive email w/ changes

Throughout the tour everything was taken care of by Mckinlay Kidd. Accommodation was excellent and we would highly recommend the tour operator.

Excellent communication while we prepared for and during the tour. Vamoos web pages gave a lot of information about places visited on the tour.

My wife and I spent two and a half weeks touring Edinburgh and the Highlands. Great lodging, surprisingly good food and wonderful people.

McKinlay Kidd makes traveling easy. You go and do where and when you want and they take care of the logistics.

The 2 week trip was very well organized with everything going very smoothly. Lovely hotels. Any questions were always answered promptly and while away I wanted to change one of the rail trips, which they did without question.

Well organized. Responsed quickly to quiries.

Wonderful B&B's, attentive hosts, excellent tours and prompt drivers to meet us at the train station. We enjoyed the scenery from the train, and our stays at the scenic villages. We also appreciated the written itinerary and helpful suggestions. McKinley Kidd was always prompt when we contacted them.

McKinlay Kidd designed a great trip. When we had 1 travel concern , we received help very quickly. Everything was top notch.
