McKinlay Kidd Traveller Reviews

I spent a fantastic week in Scotland, I visited Glasgow, the islands of Mull and Skye and was in the Highlands. I have learned to love Scotland and will return soon.

I have never had such a good experience as with KcKinley Kidd. The response times on my mails were incredibly short, the care during the trip fantastic (even in difficult situations, a solution was always found, for example, the problems with the ferry) and the documentation was exemplary and perfect. Thx to all at the company.

Spent 10 days touring Scotland from Edinburgh to Pitlochry, Nairn, Skye, Oban and back to Edinburgh. Scenery from the trains was excellent and the hotels and B&Bs were very good.

I had used McKinlay Kidd in the past with no issues therefore was very comfortable booking with them again. However this time we did experience issues due to weather related items (ferries cancelled and train cancelled). McKinlay Kidd were EXCELLENT in taking care of adjusting our travel plans such that we could continue on to our next destination. They arranged for a car to take us back across the Skye bridge and down to Fort William so that we could continue on from there as planned. I would have no concerns with recommending them to any of my friends and family.

It was 14 wonderful days/nights and every one was fabulous. We stayed at wonderful B&B's, guest houses, and a small hotel. We had excursions to Rum, Orkney & rode the Jacobite Steam Train, had a private driver on Skye and Orkney. From Glasgow to Spean Bridge, Arasaig, Skye, Inverness, Thurso, Orkney, Kingussie, Pitlochry, to Edinburg excellence every day. It was an incredible 2 weeks that passed much too quickly.

McKinlay Kidd provided excellent service, a well organized trip, all documents (tickets, vouchers, itinerary) necessary were provided. All questions prior to booking were answered in a timely manner. (We live in the USA). Communication was excellent. The properties we were booked into were vetted and were wonderful. A fantastic job by McKinlay Kidd and big thanks to Chris Stewart.

This was the first time we had visited these islands and we took lots of warm clothing expecting rain and the famous Shetland wind! However, we actually had only one rain shower and sunshine every day. The trip was a delight. Both hotels very welcoming and comfortable with very good food. All the arrangements made by McKinley Kidd went like clockwork and entirely to plan. The boat trip from Lerwick out to the islands was extra special and our captain and his mate very friendly and informative about the wildlife we encountered. These islands are a delight! We saw them at their very best due to the exceptional weather but the scenery really is spectacular.

McKinley Kidd gave a very personal service, always eager to answer any questions we had and could not have been more helpful. The arrangements such as flights, car hire and hotel locations were just perfect.

A great introduction to the wonderful Orkneys. Flew from Edinburgh to Kirkwall where we picked up the hire car. Short drive to the hotel which was friendly and comfortable. We spent three days exploring the mainland and made full use of the explorer pass to visit sites such as Scara Brae. We had lots of helpful information about what to do, where to eat etc provided before we started our holiday. Everything was organised by McKinley Kidd

Very professional great service Highly recommended

We had an amazing time on both islands. So much to see and do . Sadly we only had a few days on each to explore but we did our research and got the most out of it. We used all the info from McKinley Kidd,, which was invaluable!! From car hire to hotels and flights we have no complaints about the organisation of the trip.

McKinley Kidd were the best at every level. So well organised and efficient. No problems at all.

Our holiday was well organised and McKinlay Kidd provided substantial information on places of interest to visit. The accomodation had been visited by their own people to ensure it was of a high standard. The flights and car hire proved to be trouble free also making it a relaxing and most enjoyable holiday experience.

As said previously we very happy with the communication and all the preparation that was done prior to our arrival.

Travelled to Arran, Gigha, Islay & Colonsay. All ferries booked, accommodation excellent. Bonus was the pack provided by McKinlay Kidd which included detailed instructions to locate hotels plus recommendation for sight seeing on each island.

Superb, when asked to add additional days response was immediate & provision was excellent. Could not fault this company in anyway

As a single lady traveller this holiday was perfect. I chose to have an organised tour of Skye which was excellent and very good value. The scenery on the whole journey was wonderful.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Itinerary very detailed and clear.

Our two and a half week tour through the Highlands of Scotland was by train, with boat trips out to the Isle of Rhum, and to the Orkneys. All bookings were made by McKinlay Kidd and were impeccably organised. This included accommodation in remarkable and well chosen historic homes, or small hotels.

Faultless organisation. They presented us with copious notes about what to look out for at each stage of the trip.
