Self drive See Orkney Differently

A great way to explore a few of the islands of Orkney . A good balance of personalised guided tours with time to spend on our own . Excellent accommodation with useful information about places of interest and places to eat.

Awesome Atlantic Twins

Our itinerary spending three nights on the Isle of Coll before taking the one hour ferry journey to stay on the Isle of Tiree for three nights was the perfect combination to explore two beautiful places in the Inner Hebrides .

Exemplary service . McKinley Kidd can be relied upon to take all the stress out of booking island hopping holidays in the Hebrides. The standard of accommodation selected on our behalf was exceptionally good. We love the provision of the helpful, user friendly Vamoos App . The inclusion of a four wheel drive orientation tour of Coll with a very engaging local resident further enhanced our holiday .

Self-Drive Tour of Outer Hebrides

Driving our own car we took four ferries and stayed in three B&Bs or small hotels over the course of one week.

The accommodation and ferries were all booked flawlessly and information about recommended sights and restaurants was provided. We did not need further support but were confident that it would have been available.

Scotland by Rail is a great way to travel

We much preferred this to a Group Tour. Our accommodations were excellent and many were smaller and unique, Something you would not get in a larger tour group. We also felt that we had a bigger exposure to the local people and culture by travelling this way/

McKinlay Kidd Car-free Scottish Island Hopping

We loved every moment of our trip. We did the Car-free Scottish Island Hopping tour visiting Iona, Mull and Skye by train, ferry, bus and taxi. All accommodation, transfers and organisation was excellent and the experience was delightful.

We loved every moment of our trip. We did the Car-free Scottish Island Hopping tour visiting Iona, Mull and Skye by train, ferry, bus and taxi. The McKinlay Kidd plan, organisation and co-ordination was professional and perfect and the destination accommodations were faultless. Plans had to change a couple of times as the weather interfered with 2 ferry crossings, but each time the wonderful staff at McKinlay Kidd advised us of changes and organised alternatives that brought everything back on track.
