McKinlay Kidd Traveller Reviews

North Coast 500 proved every bit as good as we hoped for. It was some 50 years since I was there and my memories were re-enforced. Sheer beauty at every turn

Despite the restrictions of COVID, McKinley Kidd were thoroughly professional, friendly and helpful from the outset.

Just completed the Scottish 500. Stunning scenery, good weather (we were lucky at this time of year!), amazing autumn colours. Even the current Covid restrictions couldn't spoil our enjoyment.

MacKinlay Kidd made all of the arrangements for May 2020, and handled the changes caused by lockdown really well. Their communication throughout was great. The accomodation they selected based on our requests was really good, always very clean, great locations and friendly hosts. The information pack they supplied fefore our holiday was excellent. Full of clear directions and useful tips, it helped us get the most we could from the trip.

Staying in hotels, travelling around the islands, experiencing the people there.

An interactive supportive company

everything ran smoothly, no hiccups, first class accommodation throughout.

Good communication, responded to all enquiries.

The North Coast 500 holiday was a romantic and sentimental return to the north of Scotland where I proposed to my wife 40 years previously.

The itinerary provided, the sights we witnessed and the contact details provided by McKinlay Kidd were first class. The accommodation booked for us had obviously been researched and fully met our expectations throughout the tour. The Coronavirus was re-emerging at the time of our holiday, however the social distancing and transmission measures taken by all the establishments visited during the trip were exemplary.

As a couple who enjoys their world-wide adventures, we looked for something we could do on home territory. I contacted McKinlay Kidd as experts in Scotland, and they put together a tailor-made itinerary for us, booking all hotels and ferries. The whole trip exceeded our expectations, not just the wild scenery, but the welcome we were given, the wonderful hotels and B&Bs and the history we learnt about these islands.

We had never used McKinlay Kidd before, but despite the difficulties for them working from home, they were extremely efficient and fast! All the information was provided via an App - given us travel directions as well as local information on what to do and see.

We had contacted McKinlay Kidd to enquire about a holiday that would allow us to visit the more remote parts of Scotland and enjoy lots of walking. They came up with a customised itinerary that far exceeded our expectations in terms of ease, quality of accommodation, as well as access to insider tips on where to eat, shop, and explore. We had the most delightful 7 days moving from Pitlochry to Inverness to the Isle of Skye and finally to the enchanting Inverlochy Castle hotel. The food was outstanding; whoever might say that British cuisine is lacking in any way has not experienced the culinary art on show at the Killiecrankie Hotel or Kinloch Lodge! All in all, we got what we were looking for: a seamless vacation to the Scottish countryside that combined first class accommodation with insider tips on where to walk and explore. Superp Holiday -- cannot say enough good things about it.

Mckinlay Kidd were absolutely top class all the way through. They designed a perfect holiday tailored to our needs and wishes. At every juncture there was up to date information about our destinations, complete with a view on what is happening related to the Pandemic. The local information and tips for where to explore, shop, and eat were well presented and incredibly high quality. They were highly responsive and incredibly accommodating in every way.

A well organised trip including the Lakes and North Yorkshire

McKinlay Kidd

It was a road trip tour of Wales.

McKinlay Kidd are very professional, with a real attention to detail. They are brilliant at putting together bespoke itineraries.

We arranged this holiday to celebrate our 70th birthdays, Ten years ago we travelled Canada for a month around the maritime route, we had heard so much about Scotland being very much like Canada we decided that in this special year we would tick this box off our bucket list, found McKinley Kidd on the internet, spoke to one of their advisors who was extremely helpful and who came back to us with an itinerary for us to agree and within no time our holiday was booked. The trip lived up to all our expectations, and will look forward to visiting some of the islands in Scotland next year.

Extremely efficient very helpful and most informative, regarding changes due to the COVID pandemic.
