Relaxing and refreshing holiday!

Atlantic Twin Islands of Coll and Tiree. Very quiet, peaceful, relaxing and invigorating away from the hustle and bustle of living in the fast lane. If you are looking for a holiday of two halves then look no further.

Excellent communication from start to finish, super hotels selected. When ferry was cancelled due to stormy weather they telephoned immediately and rearranged the ferry, hotel and tour guide by the early morning.

12 nights travelling the length of the Outer Hebrides. What a fantastic holiday surrounded by breathtaking scenery and meeting wonderful people. If you want a relaxing holiday then you must do this.

Outer Hebrides Fly-drive by John & Patricia, Dumfries, 30 Sep 2023

Outer Hebrides - Hopscotch

A memorable trip with amazing views round every corner and each island had something different to explore and enjoy. The friendliness of the people on the islands and courtesy of all drivers on single track roads made touring a good experience.

The high standard of accommodation provided and all Robert's hints and tips ensured we got the best out of each island. All staff we engaged with from beginning to end was proficient and all could deal with any questions we had. Thank you.

Well planned holiday with an experience of a lifetime included

I took a standard holiday offer but Mckinlay Kidd arranged for bespoke additions which made for a perfect trip. I was armed with very good supporting information so I felt very secure to travel alone.

North Coast 500 by Mrs L H 23, 26 Sep 2023

An adventure

Driving the north coast 500 gave us a fantastic view of the countryside and the people. Both locals and fellow tourists made us welcome at every stop. The organisation of the hokiday by the staff at Mckinley Kidd was fantastic!

Grand Tour of Scotland by Train by Vic & Tami, 26 Sep 2023

A Grand “Grand Tour of Scotland by Train”

Wonderful, Amazing, Superb, are but a few of the adjectives I would use to describe this holiday. The food (really enjoyed the haggis), the accommodations, the history, the scenery, the people... All combined, they made this holiday an unforgettable experience. Even when things went awry (partial cancellation of an excursion that was weather related and it wasn’t that big of a problem) those involved, immediately, went into action and developed ...

Wonderful, Amazing, Superb, are but a few of the adjectives I would use to describe this holiday. The food (really enjoyed the haggis), the accommodations, the history, the scenery, the people... All combined, they made this holiday an unforgettable experience. Even when things went awry (partial cancellation of an excursion that was weather related and it wasn’t that big of a problem) those involved, immediately, went into action and developed options for us to choose from. I received a same day phone call from McKinlay Kidd, within a couple of hours, to ensure everything was as it should be. Thank you! If I were to change anything it would be to add an extra day to each location. Every place we went, I did not want to leave. The accommodations and our hosts were some of the most amazing locales and people I have ever stayed at and met. Our hosts made us feel at home and supplied us with a wealth of knowledge and information. Touring by train is a brilliant concept. More people should do it. It frees one to simply sit back and enjoy the beautiful scenery as it goes by. Wonderful, Amazing, Superb… This holiday left me wanting more through McKinlay Kidd.

If you mean McKinlay Kidd as a whole as the “tour operator”, they have made a holiday experience what it should be. Something that one will always remember. I will use McKinlay Kidd, again, for future travels to locales in the United Kingdom. They went above and beyond. If you mean the personnel of McKinlay Kidd, such as Daniela Rapani, Dora Lilla Crerand-Homanyi, Jeanette Ito and the other ladies and gentlemen that assisted me in developing our holiday itinerary I say thank you very much. They made it very personal to me and made me feel like I was the most important person that they were assisting. It matters. You are the best.

We had a 24 day holiday exploring Scotland by rail. All of the accommodations and train travel were arranged by McKinlay Kidd. Most days were on our own but our tour operator arranged several amazing guided tours and excursions for us.

Orkney & Shetland Self-drive by The Farrows, 26 Sep 2023

Very well organised self-drive holiday

The Shetland & Orkney Self-Drive Holiday was excellent. The Information & Itinerary support through my tablet ensured we were able to make the most of our visit to the Islands. We were blessed by really good weather bar one rainy day. We aim to return to the Islands again !
