McKinlay Kidd Traveller Reviews

We wanted to explore the Hebrides and could not find a tour that did what we wanted so we contacted with Mckinley Kidd. We wanted a wildlife safari and to cover the main islands. It was everything we wished for and more besides. The accommodation was superb, the arrangements were brilliant and the scenery was fantastic.

Everything was organised for us: the ferries; the accommodation; the directions to the B&Bs and also recommendations on what to see. I would certainly recommend McKinley Kidd.

Beautifully organised tour. Excellent accommodation . Knowledgeable guides.

They took care of everything and their choices were first rate.

Amazing memories were made! Golfing, spa experiences, tours, dining....not a negative comment can be made! An exceptional experience!

He met our every need!

5 unique and beautiful places to stay. Enjoyed the pace of 2 nights in each location.

Custom designed trip met out requests. They listened to what we wanted and then supported us along the way. We never would have found these properties on our own.

WE traveled for 8 days in the southern half of Ireland, with trips by train and a driver, staying at beautiful properties.

McKinlay Kidd was extremely responsive both before and during the trip, and arranged a very special time in this charming country. We loved our driver Martin, and were very happy with the hotels we stayed in, as well as the pace of the trip. It was a fabulous introduction to Ireland -- and we are so pleased that we didn't have to drive!

A stress-free holiday in every respect where we could just relax and enjoy the adventures that each day brought.

A follow up phone call the day after our initial on-line inquiry reflected the quality of customer service we came to rely on from McKinlay Kidd. We felt well looked after.

We spent 11 days in England this May touring Oxford,the Cotswolds and Bath.We worked together with McKinlay Kidd to customize the trip .The accomadations they set up were wonderful as well as the private tours of the Cotswolds. We learned so much from the guides who were witty and great historians.McKinlay Kidd provided us with maps of the cities,restaurant recommendations and emergency contact phone numbers for use 24hours a day. It was just the right mix of countryside and cities.This was our second customized tour with them and I can’t wait to plan another

We worked with Tom from McKinlay Kidd.He put together a great trip. We communicated frequently by phone and email from the states during the planning process.When we arrived at our first hotel there was a welcome package in our room filled with everything we would need to make our vacation hassle free.The company also provides you with an app to download 3 weeks before your trip detailing the itinerary.

The tour was well organised and all the connections worked.

McKinlay Kidd did a fantastic job planning a two week trip on very short notice. We began in Edinburgh, traveled to the Isle of Mull, explored Fort William, Portsoy, Aberdeenshire, and finished up in Aberdeen. The itinerary was a perfect balance of breathtaking scenery, culture, shopping, and outdoor exploration. We enjoyed finding unexpected surprises along the way - like the Walker's shortbread factory in Aberlour, a gem of a shop in Mull, and plenty of people with character!

Caoimhe O'Brien crafted an excellent itinerary which included a variety of lodging experiences, all of them excellent, and provided tips and recommendations at each destination. The customer service she provided was impeccable -professional, prompt, and always friendly. McKinlay Kidd did all the work so we could focus on play.
