Wonderful self-drive to Cambridge, Chipping Campden, finishing in London

We arrived at Heathrow, picked up our car at Arnold Clark, then drove to Cambridge (3 nights). We enjoyed a walking tour, punting, exploring the university area. We then drove to Chipping Campden (4 nights). Visited Blenheim, Hidcote, and explored the town. We then drove to London, turned in the car, and then stayed 3 nights in the Bloomsbury. The British Museum and St Paul's Cathedral are special places to visit.

One month in Scotland

We enjoyed one whole month in Scotland, a little over two weeks of which was orgnised by McKinlay Kidd based in Glasgow. From Melbourne, Australia I was able to liaise with Victoria to organise our visit to Scotland based on my personal desires and requests. A viable itinerary was created and we enjoyed all the accommodation choices that we made on our behalf. All our ferry crossings were organised with no problems. I'd highly recommend McKinlay ...

McKinlay Kidd Was Fantastic!

We had a wonderful trip in Scotland, planned for us by Linzi at McKinlay Kidd. She created a custom train tour for us, hitting everything on our wish list. Everything was wonderful, and when a huge storm had trains cancelled and power outages, the team at McKinlay Kidd was completely on top of everything, getting us rebooked before we even knew we needed that, and staying in excellent contact, making sure all was well. We are converts to this ...

We are converts to this kind of travel, and would love to do it again. Thank you!

Wonderful 3 week UK trip

Easy to talk to and always available when something comes up. The people and places they use are well researched and you can tell. Everyone makes you feel at home and special. Haven’t ever been disappointed in the accommodations they book.

Outer Hebrides - water, wind, scenery, wildlife - all amazing

We spent 12 days in Outer Hebrides and really enjoyed it. The weather didn't spoil anything much, the accommodation amazing and the locals very friendly. Apart from delays for one ferry die to weather, everything went smoothly. Landing on the beach at Barra was a must-do activity and did not disappoint.

Back to Orkney

We had a brief stay in Orkney last year, and needed more. McKinley Kidd put together a package of exactly what we were looking for; flights, accommodation and car hire.
