My Highlands Tour

I had a wonderful Highland's holiday touring castles and ancient archaeological sites. We stayed at beautiful hotels and enjoyed great good, especially seafood. Additionally, our main tour guide was informative and helpful and our day guides at specific sites such Skara Brae were quite knowledgeable. I learned so much about the Highlands. The tour was well organized and minor changes were professionally handled.

McKinley-Kidd was really well organized and provided extremely knowledgeable tour guides. The operator sent electronic versions of maps and guides and weather information that were most helpful and had great guides. I would definitely go on another tour with this group.

Wildlife on Outer Hebridies.

We wanted a holiday where we could see Scottish wildlife and this was perfect .. The holidays accommodation and ferries was all booked by McKinley Kidd and saved a lot of preparation.

All the accommodation was bed and breakfast and we booked evening meals well in advance as there are limited eating establishments which get full very quickly .. I think the scenery on the islands especially the Isle of Harris was the nicest I have ever seen.. If you want a holiday with theme parks and busy towns with shops this is not for you . For us spotting wildlife and taking life easy the holiday was perfect and all the bed and breakfasts the owners were lovely and really helpful .

Very good

Really good choice of guest houses. Organisation of tickets and ferries, coupled with the accompanying maps and place descriptions meant that we didn't have to worry about anything.

Outstanding in all respects

A guided tour of the Outer Hebrides, giving an excellent pre-planned itinerary of visits to historical sites, museums, places of wonderful natural beauty, local and unique businesses - all accompanied by a knowledgeable tour guide. Everyday was faultless in all respects.

McKinlay Kidd proved themselves to be an excellent tour operator, providing a detailed itinerary plus travel hints and tips. All forms of transport - flights, ferry crossings and local minibuses were all excellently pre-planned and the hotels booked were very good. Prompt and friendly communication at all times.

Wonderful tour of Ireland

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week tour around Ireland. We started in Dublin and ended in Belfast with 7 x 2 night hotel stays along the way. MK booked everything and it all went very smoothly. First class local limo tours at several stops also added greatly to the overall experience. Overall we rated it excellent value for money.

Beautiful Outer Hebrides

The Outer Hebrides was just amazing to visit. Beautiful and very diverse nature from island to island. Transport worked out nicely with both taxis and ferries,. We visited a lot of interresting sites and got a good understanding about how people live on these remote islands. Local people were very friendly and liked to have a chat with tourists.

Well Organised and Very Enjoyable Trip

We flew to the Hebridean island of Barra, landing on the beach, and greeted by a Pipe band and a crowd of locals listening to the wonderful sound. We then spent a week touring and the Hebrides, in mostly warm sunny weather, adoring having super beaches to ourselves, with stunning scenery, delicious meals in the local pubs and restaurants., and friendly ferries between islands.

The holidays was well thought out and organised including the car rental collection, the hotel or B & B accommodation, and pre-booked ferries. We were happy with the holiday price and how easy it was to rely upon the TO to arrange this personalised trip for us.
