McKinlay Kidd Traveller Reviews

Toured Jersey, Guernsey, and Sark. Then did our own side trip to Isle of Wight before heading to London.

Our guide knew everything and told interesting stories about the islands. She was all about the comfort and interests of those on the tour.

"Slowly through the Outer Hebrides" is what I wanted and that is exactly what I was able to enjoy. It could hardly have been better - well, except for the weather which, I understand, was unusually unkind, even for that part of the world.

Almost all of my accommodations were excellent, one was just "good", one left me partly unhappy. All the other parts of the organising were expertly done as well. In particular, the times allowed in all the different locations were more or less perfect, with just a few, perhaps very individual, wishes left open, like, a day more in certain places.

We travelled down the Atlantic coast, staying at comfortable hotels. Despite awful weather we had an excellent time

Very helpful

McKinley Kidd organised accommodation for my North Coast 500 road trip. All very comfortable.

Clear detail on accommodation and places to visit.

Everything was planned by McKinlay Kidd. It was a wonderful experience. And will do another tour with them soon as well.

Fantastic group of people. Planned everything for us. Helped with an issue within an hour.

My wife and I started our train holiday catching a train in Glasgow and traveling up to the West Highlands, staying in Kinlock Rannoch, Spean Bridge, Airisaige, Oban and Glasgow. Our tour operator arranged everything with driver pick up to accomodations, tours, excursions, ferries, some dinner reservations etc. We then flew to Dublin and took a train to Sligo, Westport, Galway and Dublin.

McKinlay Kidd was Fantastic! Linzi guided us through the planning over the previous months and was very easy to work with. We had to make a lot of changes at one point and she was very responsive and got it all done wonderfully. A couple of times we had to call during our trip when an issue came up and everyone was right there to solve any problem we had and followed up to make sure everything was taken care of. A great team!

We had McKinley Kidd organise our great tour of Scotland by rail. We saw most of the country even the places most wouldn’t think to go. Had a few issues with ScotRail but MKK sorted alternative ie buses instead so we didn’t miss a thing. mKK packages everything up on the Vamoos app complete with a detailed daily planner so you can’t do wrong. All our taxi drivers and hotel keepers were ready and waiting for us. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of our accommodation and excursions. We will use MKK again to plan Ireland. We didn’t know it but you can ask them to tweak a set holiday or ask them to organise what you want to do

They stayed in touch with us via WhatsApp which was good because no all eSIMs allow phone calls. They reply at all hours in case you get into trouble. Don’t have to worry about business hours to speak to someone from MKK. They will even book your reservations for dinner! Just have to ask

A follow up section of Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way. Great interpretation of our broad brush requirements by McKinlay Kidd with super hotels and recommendations for things to see and do, places to eat, at our destinations.

This was our fourth or fifth time of using McKinlay Kidd - they've always been excellent

A beautiful holiday filled with memorable experiences. We visited the Highlands and the Isle of Skye. On this trip we were on trains with views that could not be appreciated from roadways. McKinlay Kidd included an evening of storytelling and folk music. We would recommend McKinlay Kidd for UK travel!

He was a wealth of information. He was very personable and a delight with which to converse.

We had a fantastic trip! Many thanks to the staff at McKinlay Kidd (Linzi, Victoria, and all the rest) for helping us plan our trip and being there for us during the trip. (Only one small hiccup on a Saturday, and Victoria was there to assist!) We highly recommend the trip and the agency.

We asked for a couple of additions to the normal tour, and they were so happy to accommodate us. When one tour guide didn't show, they worked to get us a replacement and save our day. First time working with a travel agency, and they were fantastic.
