McKinlay Kidd Traveller Reviews

It was such a luxury to leave the planning to someone else. We loved having bookings made for us, having taxis waiting, having the research on accommodations done for us.

McKinley Kidd

We traveled with a small group and a guide from Edinburgh to Inverness to Fort William to Glencoe to Glasgow by train and coach. So many beautiful stops and the guide was incredibly informative and entertaining. God way to see so many places in a relatively short time. 6 days

McKinley Kidd set up the tour and took care of all the details. Information was sent out ahead of time and planning tips were helpful. The food and lodging was first class

McKinlay Kidd customized one of their rail trips for my husband and I through the highlands of Scotland. They organized everything including a personal tour guide so we could visit my clan's castle. The lodgings and included tours were excellent, and McKinlay Kidd was very attentive.

Accommodating, efficient, well-organized, attentive to our needs and desires.

It was wonderful! Everything was properly arranged and every detail taken care of. Great accommodations and excellent guided tour people. I will go with them on my next trip overseas

When my train was canceled, they arranged a private hire to get me to my next destination.

We are from Peru and we made the Car Free Scottish Isla d Hopping Holidays with McKinlay Kid. There were alme issues because of the Ashley Storm and McKinlay Kid re coordinate everything for us to continue to enjoy our lovely holoday.

There make all re arrangements inmediately because there were ferry disruptions because of the Ashley Storm. mcKinlay contactes us inmediately and re schedule everything. The hotels wonderful, connectiona and trips very precise. We had everything at hand tonhave a hazzaed free trip.

McKinlay Kidd’s Small Group Tour of Orkney and Shetland was well-paced, informative and most enjoyable. The accommodation choices were consistently very comfortable, with friendly, efficient staff and provided quality menu options. Similarly the local transport and specialised guides organised by MKK were very good and provided high calibre service. MKK Tour Leader, Ciaran Stormonth was most knowledgeable, organised, inclusive and personable. He exemplified the level of care and consideration MKK has for every one of its travellers.

McKinlay Kidd are experts at researching, sampling and organising outstanding individual and small group tours to the most picturesque and interesting corners of the United Kingdom and Ireland. Their attention to detail and support provided to each of their clients before and during their travels is exemplary and demonstrated by every member of their staff.

We spent ten days on Shetland all organised by McKinlay Kidd. The travel arrangements went well and the accommodation was good. We particularly enjoyed the organised tour of Shetland and the boat trip around Noss.

McKinlay Kidd took the hard work out of planning our trip, whilst still allowing us to customise it to our own requirements - an excellent combination!

We booked a trip to Mull & Skye with McKinlay Kidd. The trip included ferries, accommodation and some trips. There was a slight delay in getting our final information but it arrived before we departed. The accommodation was comfortable and met our needs. The ferries all worked and we enjoyed thee two trips. Our third was cancelled because of weather. We would have liked more choice about where the accommodation was and more up to date recommendations of what to do, where to eat etc.

McKinlay Kidd organise holidays in islands although I understand they have now begun to organise holidays on mainland UK. We always deal with them by phone and email which generally works well. They charge a standard daily rate for each person which means you are clear about the cost.

We had a wonderful time in the Outer Herbrides, Orkney and Shetalnd. The trip was well organised the accommadation was extremly comfortable. Havimg someone organise the accommoadtion, cars ,ferries,train and special request trips made our trip so much more enjoyable and our big decisom each day was hwere to eat and MKK had great recommadations for us to select from!

Even though we are in Australia they were easy to deal with and propmt in thier communication with us

We had booked to go on McKinley Kidd’s North Highlands & Orkney Guided Rail Tour in August 2024. Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with pesky bladder cancer, with major surgery pencilled in around the time of the holiday. We therefore cancelled the holiday; McKinley Kidd were extremely accommodating regarding the cancellation.

McKinley Kidd couldn’t have been any more understanding regarding my diagnosis. We can’t wait to book and attend another McKinley Kidd tour when my health allows!
