McKinlay Kidd Traveller Reviews

This was an amazing 3 week road trip comparable with many we have done in the USA

McKinlay Kidd were excellent with their selection of mostly small B&B's & Guest Houses and we had the distinct impression that many of the accommodations made just a little extra effort because we were McK K guests .

Lovely holiday, all the hassle re travel/ hotel bookings taken from you, plus advice on where to visit.

They continue to maintain their high standards of excellence and customer satisfaction

We had a wonderful time traveling slowly from island to island. We stayed in lovely B&Bs chosen by McKinlay Kidd.

McKinlay Kidd were brilliant from booking to departure. Documentation and information was spot on. They are very professional and have never fail to please my wife and I. We have used McKinlay Kidd twice and have never been disappointed. I would recommend them to my friends and family.

It was a most memorable trip, made so by the excellent accommodation and tour schedule recommended by McKinlay Kidd.

McKinlay Kidd's advice on setting up the tour, and subsequent back-up documentation and support were superb. Our only regret was that we were not able to spend more time on the islands.

A touring holiday with our landrover. An amazing experience arranged for a 50th birthday present originally for 2020 but postponed until 2021. Although disapointed that we were unable to travel as planned last year it was welcomed following a full year working on an NHS Covid ward and having no respite until the trip. The trip delivered everything it promised and more. The time of year that we chose was perfect and it was great to travel on empty roads with only sheep to negotiate.

The tour operated gave us what we asked for and more

Amazing trip around the wonderful Scottish Isles of Mull, Orkney & Shetland. We combined 2 packages to see these wonderful Isles.

McKinlay Kidd had put together well thought out trips to see these Islands to their best advantage. Caoimhe who dealt with us throughout was helpful and knowledgeable about the itinerary. There was plenty of useful tips about things to see and places to eat. Everything ran smoothly.

A mixture of excellent B&Bs and one hotel gave us a great variety of interesting and beautiful settings. We had a range of experiences, from wonderful wildlife to fascinating pre-historic sites.

McKinlay Kidd could not do enough for us, from first information to pre-trip details. They even got in touch with us during the holiday to rebook an unmissable boat trip that was in danger of cancellation because of rough weather.

A short flight from Edinburgh took us to Sumburgh on the southern tip of Shetland, where our hire car was waiting for us, and half an hour on virtually empty roads took us to our b&b. The warm welcome from Mary, and the beautiful views across fields to the sea and St Ninians isle, made us relax. In four days, we saw fabulous scenery, a knitting museum, seals,puffins, kittiwakes,fulmars, loons, eider ducks ,owls and we puzzled over the local dialect. Another 4 days on Orkney gave us more lovely beaches, and more birds, plus Neolithic villages, and Scapa Flow. Not long enough, we plan to return.

McKinley Kidd was excellent, they put together an itinerary at fairly short notice, taking into account our particular needs. When our flight was delayed they responded promptly. It was a great help that we were able to speak to the same person at their office.

Our holiday in Shetland booked through McKinlay Kidd was very enjoyable - beautiful scenery, lovely people and excellent food and service everywhere

McKinlay Kidd booked our ferries, flight, accommodation and car hire for us - their choices were very good and everything went to plan

We stayed at the Old Pine Lodge and then went onto the Isle of Mull

Helpful in every way. We asked for help with finding various items and they found them for us. Also helped with a fbooklist from which we chose some engaging books to read.
