Morgan Scottish road tour

We toured Scotland for five days in a hired Morgan with accommodation booked and routes suggested, with lots of information and maps provided.

McKinley Kidd organised our holiday and did an excellent job. Everything worked well, from the pick up at the hotel in Edinburgh to the drop off there five days later. We even got (mostly) good weather so we were very happy. Even before the holiday itself, all the communication beforehand relating to the booking was efficient and friendly. Would definitely recommend the company and this kind of holiday - have already done so..

The grand tour of Scotland by train

It was really well organised and they were very helpful. The people at the hotels and the tours were so helpful and friendly. Which was good because I was traveling on my own and I felt so relaxed on holiday.

A Great Train TRip with a Difference

I combined their 16 day tour of Scotland by train with a ten day car rental. Their organisation was impeccable. All accommodation and services were of a very high standard. I was well looked after, and found the two different types of travel enabled me to see both scenery and "tourist" spots.

Mc Kinnlay Kidd provided a first class service from my initial email enquiry until I flew home. Their organisation and attention to detail was excellent.

A great experience of Scotland's western isles!

The holiday was well organised with the accommodation, flights and car hire exceeding expectations with planning. The trip out to St Kilda was an absolute highlight and we feel a special experience.

V friendly and efficient. I dealt with the same person throughout. They provided a very comprehensive folder with full directions, hints and suggestions , maps, booklets and other information. One thing I did find odd is that they didn’t want to give me the names of our hotels until AFTER I paid the deposit. The holiday was quite expensive and this was not acceptable, so on pushing, I was given the names eventually.

Magical touring through the Hebrides and Orkney

We had an outstanding independent driving tour of the Outer Hebrides and Orkney, with travel arrangements far exceeding our expectations. The Hebrides in particular will hold a special place in our memories - we loved the history, scenery, people and special atmosphere of the islands.

McKinley Kidd staff were exceptional in the service they provided. Responses to queries were always very prompt, their suggestions were excellent, the accommodation they selected for our independent tour was first class. Very friendly, helpful, efficient and professional service, and very much appreciated.

Eye-opening tour in Scotland.

We did not previously know Scotland, and asked McKInley Kidd to organise a self-drive trip route for us going through the Great Glen, the Isle of Skye and the Cairngorms. We asked them to arrange a route and book a hire car and hotels for us, according to our specifications. Everything worked very well.

McKinley Kidd did a very good job at very short notice. The car and the hotels were fine, and we had all the information about where we were going and what we could do there.
