McKinlay Kidd Traveller Reviews

4 weeks in England and Scotland and James at McKinlay Kidd did all the organising and booking for us and it went absolutely smoothly.

James at McKinlay Kidd was very helpful, pleasant and keen to ensure we had a wonderful holiday which we did

We visited Scotland for the first time & had an incredible experience! McKinley Kidd listened to our wishes & out-performed our expectations!

Rhiannon Finlay was super in our initial planning stages She was responsive & communicated promptly & clearly. Others who were also involved through the year & during our trip were just as helpful. They even rearrange & communicated a change in our ferry times, (due to the ferry operation, not of MK's doing).

Everything was meticulously planned and executed by McKinlay Kidd for this tour. All we needed to do was show up and follow the itinerary. It was one of the easiest trips ever and allowed us to travel all around Scotland. Many of the locals we met were jealous of how much of the country we were seeing. The hotels are all first rate and everyone was so friendly and helpful. We had no problems on our holiday, but were confident in McKinlay Kidd's ability to address them should the need arise.

McKinlay Kidd is a definitely a top-notch tour operator. Everyone who dealt with them had only praise for their thoroughness and planning. We would 100 percent use them again.

This holiday to Orkney and Shetland exceeded expectations and genuinely we do not have anything but positive feedback to give. We would highly recommend.

McKinley Kidd were professional, helpful, knowledgeable and were committed to ensuring we had a great holiday. They were quick to respond to any enquiry for further information.

We had an excellent holiday arranged by McKinlay Kidd to the Western Isles starting in Barra and finishing in Stornoway. We were able to explore each of the islands in glorious weather - we were very lucky! The arrangements made for us worked well and we stayed in some lovely accommodation. A great experience..

They provided an excellent service and we would use them again.

Loved staying in the guest houses. Vamoose was a valuable tool.

They did a great job setting up our reservations.

Group of friends who twice a year go away for a weekend. Stipulations include friendly top notch accommodation. Good food and easy to drive to points of interest.

Always good to know that there is back up advice and help should anything go wrong. The accommodation is always good, including the break.

Landing on the beach in Barra and making our way by road through the other islands to Stornoway . 4 stops and 2 ferries along the way .

Personalised itinerary provided with all car hire, ferry crossings and accommodation arranged.

Almost 6 weeks travelling on the outer islands using Oban as the launch pad. Brought my family's history to life ... Had the amazing fortune of great weather (only 3 days of rain) so able to thoroughly enjoy Iona, then the Outer Hebrides from Barra to Stornaway, and on out to Shetland the Orkney's before finishing off in Edinburgh. Ahead of the tourist traffic, loved the single-track driving/passing pauses and the civility this brought to the driving itself. Lovely tea shops along the way. Beautiful guest houses and hotels. SO very glad I embarked on this solo journey in the wake of my husband's death -- totally revitalizing and confidence building!

MKK put it altogether. Small glitches readily resolved. Hit 'the mark' in terms of accommodation, sites and timelines. Allowed me to focus on the wonderful sites and beauty the outer islands of Scotland have to offer.

The Grand Train Tour of Scotland gave me a well thought out, well organized tour of Scotland using mainly trains and Ferries for transportation. Each accommodation was unique and provided excellent service, gorgeous rooms and amenities, excellent food, and top of the line comfort. The side trips were fascinating and full of information presented by excellent guides. I can't imagine a better way to see Scotland!

McKinlay Kidd was quite to answer any questions I had and went out of their way to ensure that all of my needs were met. Their professional staff is friendly and always made me feel welcome!
