McKinlay Kidd Traveller Reviews

As a single traveller I really appreciated the detailed thorough planning between trains taxis and wonderful accommodations.

McKinley Kidd chose excellent B&Bs . Train bookings were well organised and easy to use Although more expensive than planning oneself it was worth the smooth flow of the 14 day journey.

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 spent 4 days in England, 2 in London and 2 in Bath, with a visit to Stonehenge!! Then off to the Scottish Highlands on the overnight Caledonia sleeper train. We took the short train ride fromGlasgow to Stirling were we started our whisky and castle tour by train, from Stirling to Inverness, and then to Aberdeen. Our whole holiday was perfect, from all or our wonderful accommodations to the ease of travelling on the trains and all the wonderful suggestions from McKinlay Kidd, it could not have been better. We had 3 private tours that were booked through MK, one to Stonehenge, one to 2 distilleries and a cooperage, and a wonderful all day tour of castle in Aberdeen, and all 3 of the people that looked after us for these days were INCREDIBLE!!!

Very attentive, extremely helpful and over the top organized! This was my 3rd time using them and will definitely travel with them again!!

This was a perfectly planned tour. Highly recommended.

Fantastic person and leader.

McKinlay Kidd helped us create a personalized itinerary that gave us peace of mind, The result was a memorable and interesting 6 weeks of travel.

We heard from many vendors how highly they respect KcKinlay Kidd, which added to our sense of confidence that were getting top notch assistance and guidance.

We traveled from London to York, Haydon Bridge, Pooley Bridge, Chester, Bath, Penzance, and then back to London by train and auto. We had guided tours in several of the cities and stayed in lovely bed and breakfasts.

Our trip with McKinlay Kidd was perfect. It exceeded my expectations and I would most definitely work with them to plan another trip.

Island hopping around Orkney and Shetland by air, land and sea.

Below expectation this time around.

My wife and I toured the Inner Hebrides and the NC500 route on a self drive holiday. Quite simply, every aspect of our trip was everything and more than we expected. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would do the same trip again in a heartbeat. We would change only one thing - we'd request the Scottish government to ban moronic campervan drivers on the many single lane roads. ;-)

McKinley Kidd had arranged everything exceptionally well. From the car hire and ferry bookings through to wonderful accomodation and tour guidance information, our high expectations were well and truly surpassed. They went to extraordinary lengths to successfully inform us of an unexpected change to the Calmac ferry service from Islay to the mainland.

We enjoyed every aspect of our well-organised holiday in the Outer Hebrides. The accommodation, chosen by McKinlay Kidd, was varied, interesting, sometimes ‘quirky’ and always clean and comfortable, with friendly helpful hosts and great breakfasts. We stayed in Oban, on Barra, north Uist, Harris and Skye and it was all breathtaking. They organised our ferry crossings and when the time of one was changed by the ferry company, they rang to tell us. The information provided by them, on an app, helped us to get the most out of our holiday. It was a wonderful experience, and all we had to do, was enjoy it.

They were always helpful when we contacted them, efficient in their administration and discerning in their choice of accommodation. We asked to add extra places to their Hopscotch holiday and it was no problem and all ran smoothly. We were very impressed and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Everything was so well organised on this small group tour to ensure that we experienced the best of both islands

The whole experience was outstanding. A marvellous guide who ensured the comfort and enjoyment of everyone in the party, great hotels, great food, interesting area, overall great experience
