Rating for tour operator:

I worked with Caoimhe who was responsive and provided honest and thoughtful answers to my questions. The materials provided during the tour were helpful, succinct and clear. She was easy to work with, and I felt I could trust her to make recommendations appropriate to what I wanted. I came away from this holiday feeling that this is a tour operator with integrity. I would use McKinlay Kidd again.

Arranged our holiday and added extra nights stay and all travel and necessary connections as we did not use our own transport. Also have up local maps and walking ideas.

Our Best Trip Ever!

Our Scottish train tour was amazing! It was wonderful to see the countryside and meet new people. Our B&Bs were clean and the food was delicious at each one. Our hosts welcomed us and were happy to share the history of where they lived. The whole tour was so well organized that all we had to do was be on time for the train. It truly was a trip of a lifetime for us!

McKinley Kidd knows how to provide a scenic and relaxing tour for travellers. Any communication with them while planning our trip was timely and informative. All our queries were answered and explained. The "Welcome Package" that was waiting at our hotel was very much appreciated so we knew what was planned each day.

The guys at McKinley Kidd listened to what we wanted and came up with an itinerary (at quire short notice - 6 weeks at height of summer). We needed to change some things last minute and they were right on it - making the changes so everything went smoothly.

Scotland By Train

We had a wonderful tour organised for us by McKinlayKidd which involved train, ferry and bus travel from Glasgow, to Skye, on to Inverness, Thurso, the Orkneys and back to Edinburgh via the Cairngorms. Everything was catered for - all tickets, accommodation, tours - and it all worked really well.

Rating for tour operator:

McKinlayKidd ensured that all our information was sent to us before we left home and that all tickets, itinerary, names of accommodation and tour operators etc was delivered to our hotel in Glasgow before we set off. We had no complaints.

Inverness and the Highlands

I had a very tight schedule of places I needed to be at certain times and things that I needed to do. McKinlay Kidd Ltd coordinated everything so expertly, I was able to relax and enjoy the trip

Rating for tour operator:

This is the second time I have traveled with McKinlay Kidd Ltd and both trips have been fabulous. They tailored my itineraries and coordinated everything. Their hotel accommodations were related to my interests and hobbies and were lovely. The guides are also amazing. They know the areas and recommend places related to my interests, not the usual touristy places. Because everything is so skillfully arranged, I was able to do a lot in a short time, with no worries or stress. Thank you for another wonderful trip.

Outer Hebrides Fly-drive by Queen Scout, 27 Aug 2018

Wonderful Introduction to the Outer Hebrides

After landing on the beach at Barra we spent 10 days exploring the islands by car ending in Stornoway on Lewis. On idea location if you are interested in wildlife and big scenery and seascapes. The locals were very friendly and helpful and some of the restaurants were worldclass.

McKinlay Kidd are obviously knowledgeable about the Outer Hebrides and they have visited and stayed in the hotels and B&Bs they used for us. They tailored an itinerary to meet our interests.
