McKinlay Kidd Traveller Reviews

A seven day road trip starting in Barra (ferry from Oban) and finishing in Stornoway, Lewis ( ferry back to Ullapool). We drove through some of the most stunning scenery I have ever seen, walked along miles of deserted white beaches, and enjoyed the simple stress-free life of the islands.

Wonderful! Excellent organization. They understood what we were looking for and got it just right. But they didn’t just organize the holiday, they also kept looking after us during the holiday, warning us about one of our ferry departures which was brought forward by 3 hours, less that 12 hours before the planned departure.

Traveled to Oban, Spean Bridge, and Isle of Skye with train, accommodation and tours arranged by Mc Kinlay Kidd.

Very organized and worked hard to incorporate our wishes into the travel.

Tour of the Scottish Highlands (Scottish 500) featuring outstanding scenery, gorgeois routes and five superb hotels.

Everything was really well organised, information provided in advance on what to see and do at every step of the way and hotels (which were all excellent) carefully selected. When our car broke down they quickly sorted out how to get to the nearest car hire, arranged the hire and kept in touch to ensure we were ok. AND this was all happening in the evening and early morning. They were superb, especially "pronounced K"!

Journey from Glasgow by train on the West Highland line. Overnight at the Old Pines Restaurant with rooms , highly recommended. Next day steam train to Mallaig then ferry to Skye. Accommodation in a beautiful bay really peaceful. Day Taxi tour around he Island with Donnie who was informative , friendly and flexible. Next day back to Glasgow. Holiday well organised and stress free

Friendly consultant on the phone answered all my questions clearly. Information provided was clear and any paperwork was accurate as sent in good time. The option of the app for information was useful when you wanted to quickly check a detail. All accommodation was what was expected clean ,comfortable and fit for need. All taxis arrived when expected and tickets easily accessed

A very well organised trip. Everything went very smoothly with very clear information from McKinlay Kidd about the trip, accommodation, trains and things to see in each place. I felt very safe as a single female traveler and would definitely do the trip again and have already recommended McKinlay Kidd to friends and family,

Very friendly and accommodating. Gave clear information about what to expect during the trip, Very efficient and timely communication.

This was the trip of a lifetime! Every possible site/locale/attraction I wanted to see was covered on this trip, and then some. The tour guides were all fantastic. The islands chosen to visit were stunning. The scenery was breathtaking everywhere we went. I can't imagine a better holiday.

McKinlay Kidd handled everything professionally and quickly. They answered all my questions, and debunked any misinformation I might have had about the areas. They put together a fantastic tour with top notch guides, fantastic hotels, and absolutely stunning attractions to visit. I can't imagine anyone putting together a better tour than this one.

Had a wonderful train journey through northern England and into Scotland. Well planned and great accommodation thanks to McKinlay Kidd.

It’s easy to see how this travel void named best in the business, everything was well planned and thought out thoroughly.

We spent a week travelling around Orkney and Shetland and were really impressed by what we saw and experienced. From the archeology and history of Orkney to the wild, windswept Shetlands with their amazing birdlife and being stalked by playful seals on our birdwatching trip! Both islands were beautiful in different ways, from the neatly farmed Orkney to the untamed Shetland. One definite highlight was to finally get close enough to Puffins to get decent photos, after 30 years of trying in various other parts of the World!!

McKinley Kidd were very thorough and provided plenty of information prior to us making a booking from Australia. Their booking process and payment systems were very easy to use and the staff helpful and efficient. All of our flight connections, accommodation and car hire went smoothly, without any problems.

Although a lengthy coastal drive, thanks to the suggested breakdown of the journey into manageable and therefore enjoyable distances, it was not arduous. The hotel breaks with good food provided enough time to explore immediate areas with some relaxation time for pottering.

This is a company who listen to their customers and are happy to listen to all comments and queries. Accompanying paperwork is relevant and useful.

Our itinerary was well thought out, very good accommodation, each with it's own distinct style. Beautiful scenery, stunning coastline and amazing beaches, plus we had very good weather as well!

They were helpful, informative and professional. The holiday details were well presented, giving plenty of additional information as well as excellent directions. They were able to accommodate a couple of changes that we requested without any problem..
