answered all questions, no problem with arrangements, nice package left at hotel, accommodating, great at getting back with e mails. No complaints at all.





Outer Hebridean Hopscotch
We had 3days in Barra due to weather conditions we had to stay an extra night. However McKinley Kidd were ahead of us in finding us accommodation for the extra night and booking a ferry for the following day. It rained all the way through the Uist but we now only had one night there. Our next night was in Tarbert in Harris which was ideal for going north to Lewis or south in Harris. All accommodations were excellent.

Very efficient. Always ahead of us in seeing what was necessary.





Shetland self-drive
Excellent. Super to have a car sorted when we arrived. Accommodation excellent.





Scotland in miniature
The four of us were very impressed with McKinley Kidd, in particular, Tom Hamilton. Everything was well coordinated and choice of accommodations was excellent We would certainly use this company again

We were very pleased with how well our rail, ferry and b&b's were coordinated. The planning made our vacation so pleasureable





Edinburgh/ St Andrews Quick Trip
Spent 2 nights in Edinburgh and 1 night in St Andrews in advance of The Solheim Cup. Needed to be in heart of Old Town and the Radisson G and V was just the ticket. Great spot for our walking tours and dining. Rufflets near St Andrews was a special spot to spend a relaxing evening. Enjoyed a wonderful evening meal with them. McKinlay Kidd also provide first class drivers for all our transportation and it was a joy to sit back and enjoy our drives...

We have used McKinlay Kidd for two prior trips and there was no question that we would utilize their services for this brief adventure.





Another great holiday experience from McKinlay Kidd
I spent a week travelling around Cork & Kerry as part of the Wild Atlantic Way holiday organised by McKinlay Kidd. The arrangements and accommodation were first class. I experienced lovely scenery and friendly and helpful locals. This was complimented by excellent accommodation and food.

This was my fourth trip with McKinlay Kidd and none of them have disappointed. Their experience, knowledge and attention to detail allows you to just concentrate on having a great holiday knowing that everything else has been well taken care of.





See Orkney Differently
We booked a 7 night holiday on Orkney. We visited three islands and had three guided tours. The hotels and tour guides were excellent and we certainly gained a thorough knowledge of life on the Orkneys.

McKinlay Kidd prepared a well planned tour with good hotels and tour guides. There was plenty of time to do our own thing alongside the organised activities. We would be happy to recommend McKinlay Kidd.





Greatest tour of Scotland!
We started off in Edinburgh and took trains to Pitlochry, Inverness, the Isle of Skye, and Spean Bridge. McKinlay Kidd organized every detail so we were not rushed, and had plenty of time to enjoy and absorb each place we visited. Each place they arranged for us to stay was first class, and we felt they had been personally chosen for us. A wonderful experience!

McKinlay Kidd, and especially Caoimhe, was especially helpful and built the whole trip for us. Her attention to detail to ensure everything ran smoothly was so appreciated so we could enjoy our trip without any surprises. They certainly know what they are doing, and do it first class!





Hebridean Excursion
An immaculately planned and organised trip up the Outer Hebrides, from a plane landing on Barra Beach, ferries across the Minch, all clearly documented with great travel advice on sights, restaurants etc.

McKinlay Kidd provided brilliant literature and advice, and their emergency helpline was a godsend when a hotel failed to deliver. They found us an alternative within five minutes on a busy Saturday night.





Great choice of itinerary. We loved the hotels that were part of the tour. Everything was well organized
We did the Classic Scotland by train your which covered the Highlands. The train rides were lovely - great scenery. Each hotel/inn was lovely including excellent breakfasts. In some cases, dinner was also included. The compnay also included a lot of great information about each destination.
