McKinlay Kidd Traveller Reviews

A great trip. Started in Glasgow, ended in Edinburgh, with 10 nights in hotels and B&B's, Speen Bridge, Syke, Thurso, Kirkwall, Inverness & Pitlochery. Used Scot Rail regularly scheduled trains to move to each location. Ferry to Isle of Skye from Mallig and to the Main Island of Orkney via Thurso. We also took the Jacobite train. All transportation was arranged by the tour operator between trains and accommodation. All accommodation was great. All included breakfast and some supper. We never experienced any problems with what was arranged by the tour director.

Would highly recommend McKinley-Kidd. From the time we contacted them about tour options, we were very satisfied with the service we received. The accommodation they booked for us was excellent in all cases, as well as the private tours of Skye and Orkney. All the people we met at the accommodations and tours spoke highly of their relationship with McKinley-Kidd. No issues during the trip that required follow up as everything went well.

I traveled to Ireland with my grown sons and daughter-in-law. We rented a car and drove from Dublin to Enniskillen, to Lough Conn, Ennis, Dingle and back to Dublin. We LOVED having a car to go off the beaten track and unscripted even though we had some 'must do' experiences and tours planned.

McKinlay Kidd did a fantastic job of listening to the things we wanted to do and arranging and advising us about how to fit as much as we could into our 10 nights in Ireland. The accommodations were excellent and Robert's tips appearing in the Vamoos app were excellent. I HIGHLY recommend McKinlay Kidd.

A great trip to Arran, Islay, Mull & Skye - wonderful places with very good accommodation & food, & fortunately for us the weather was warm & sunny.

Everything was very well organised, the accommodation & recommendations were all good. This is the second holiday we’ve had with McKinlay Kidd and we’ve found their service to be excellent.

Having never been to Scotland, McKinley Kidd put together a wonderful seamless trip for me. Great coordination and communication. Highlights were Inverness, Kingussie, Orkneys...everything.

Excellent service and communication. Great coordination of trains, taxis, and inns. Seamless transfers. I recommend them highly.

A visit to three islands, with accommodation, inter island trade and local tour guides.

I have used McKinley Kidd twice and on each occasion found their planning and attention to detail exceptional. Maps, guide books, and helpful local information are all included in their holiday pack. I would certainly recommend them to anyone wishing to visit remoter parts of Scotland where local knowledge is so important.

A 10 night tour staying in 5 locations in Counties Galway, Sligo, Mayo and two in County Donegal. The coastal route was followed as much as possible, giving us superb beaches and cliffs. The hotels varied from 17th Century country houses and boutique B & B.

McKinlay Kidd provided us with a bespoke holiday, suiting our needs exactly. We have used them a number of times for vacations in Scotland.

Having waited too many years to go to Orkney and Shetland, the wait was well worth it. McKinlay Kidd tailor made the holiday of a lifetime that surpassed our expectations. They understood what we wanted to achieve and made sure we saw as much as possible in a ten day time frame.

Attention to detail made the holiday everything we hoped for and more.

We spent 15 days living out a trip of a lifetime in some of the most remote , interesting and breathtaking islands of Scotland .Where none of our friends or relatives had even heard of just the sort of holiday we love and enjoy .Off the grid .

From our first contact to our arrival in the Outer Hebrides ,they were terrific .Everything they said they would organize was, everything ran to plan and there were unexpected extras that outstanding. Our Australian tour operators would learn a great deal from this organization.

Eight days from Edinburgh to Glasgow by train, with two nights each in Pitlochery, Inverness, Portree, and one night in Spean Bridge.

McKinlay-Kidd did all the bookings and arranged for drivers. We also booked a wonderful day tour of Skye through them. Accommodations were excellent, and we managed to do everything on our wish list during our short stays. We added several days on our own in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Loved it all. No bad experiences.

superb organising of holiday. first class in every respect and the fact that we were on our own suited us but knew when and where we would be picked up and taken any problems were dealt with quickly and satisfactory. accommodation was first class. we have told friends about it and they are going to book
