McKinlay Kidd Traveller Reviews

7-night tour of Arran, the Kintyre peninsula and Islay. Not an area we’d been to before, all three utterly stunning (helped by the amazing weather throughout our stay) and the best hotels and guest houses we’ve ever stayed in. Yes, the holiday was impacted slightly by the pandemic, as Scotland still has COVID restrictions in place, but overall it didn’t spoil our enjoyment of these beautiful areas.

Given the pandemic McKinlyley Kidd have worked incredibly hard to minimise the impact on their holiday experiences so with only one or two minor exceptions our holiday was exactly as planned. Great memories of this holiday will stay with us for a long time.

Great accommodation that provided lovely food No hitches with our ferries or tickets Itinerary was smooth and well thought out

Very professional and extremely organised

We visited 3 islands: Barra, North and South Uist, Harris-Lewis and stayed some in excellent accommodation, saw some beautiful scenery including exceptional beaches, and fascinating historical monuments.

They provided a personal and well informed service. Useful notes were sent to us about the places we were visiting.

Good weather, scenery wildlife

Kept us informed at difficult times

A wonderful fly drive tour of Orkney and Shetland. Fabulous two weeks exploring the sights, scenery and wildlife

Everything was well organised and totally seamless

Very well organised and good communication from the tour company. The trips were a lot of fun and very informative and we saw lots of wildlife including eagles, whales, seals and dolphins. The accommodation was very good. We were very well looked after by the B&B hosts and very well fed. The car hire company was efficient and we did not have the usual long wait when picking up a hire car. They also collected and delivered us back to the train station.

Very well organised and good communication.

Very helpful organised a fantastic trip

The holiday was to celebrate my sisters 60th birthday and the companies knowledge and expertise produced a wonderful and very memorable trip.

I can’t actually remember the brief I gave to McKinlay Kiidd, but the results way exceeded my expectations!

Visit mainland Shetland to visit family and discover where my grandfather was born and lived, a trip I have longed to do for years

Very helpful efficient and fulfilled all of my requests in very difficult circumstances and with ever changing rules and regulations

My wife and I had a great holiday travelling north through the Outer Hebrides during May 2021. There was plenty to see and do and we were particularly enthralled visiting the sites that showed that there had been well developed and widely connected cultures in the area from prehistoric through to modern times. The weather, not unexpectedly, was mixed with some warm sunny days but other wet, cool and windy ones where although the scenery on the beaches suggested the Caribbean we were dressed for skiing. Food was excellent with some particularly noteworthy seafood to be had.

McKinlay Kidd did an excellent job finding great accommodation, making all ferry bookings and keeping us informed when booked ferry sailings were changed by Calmac.
