McKinlay Kidd Traveller Reviews

This was the trip of a lifetime! Every possible site/locale/attraction I wanted to see was covered on this trip, and then some. The tour guides were all fantastic. The islands chosen to visit were stunning. The scenery was breathtaking everywhere we went. I can't imagine a better holiday.

McKinlay Kidd handled everything professionally and quickly. They answered all my questions, and debunked any misinformation I might have had about the areas. They put together a fantastic tour with top notch guides, fantastic hotels, and absolutely stunning attractions to visit. I can't imagine anyone putting together a better tour than this one.

Had a wonderful train journey through northern England and into Scotland. Well planned and great accommodation thanks to McKinlay Kidd.

It’s easy to see how this travel void named best in the business, everything was well planned and thought out thoroughly.

We spent a week travelling around Orkney and Shetland and were really impressed by what we saw and experienced. From the archeology and history of Orkney to the wild, windswept Shetlands with their amazing birdlife and being stalked by playful seals on our birdwatching trip! Both islands were beautiful in different ways, from the neatly farmed Orkney to the untamed Shetland. One definite highlight was to finally get close enough to Puffins to get decent photos, after 30 years of trying in various other parts of the World!!

McKinley Kidd were very thorough and provided plenty of information prior to us making a booking from Australia. Their booking process and payment systems were very easy to use and the staff helpful and efficient. All of our flight connections, accommodation and car hire went smoothly, without any problems.

Although a lengthy coastal drive, thanks to the suggested breakdown of the journey into manageable and therefore enjoyable distances, it was not arduous. The hotel breaks with good food provided enough time to explore immediate areas with some relaxation time for pottering.

This is a company who listen to their customers and are happy to listen to all comments and queries. Accompanying paperwork is relevant and useful.

Our itinerary was well thought out, very good accommodation, each with it's own distinct style. Beautiful scenery, stunning coastline and amazing beaches, plus we had very good weather as well!

They were helpful, informative and professional. The holiday details were well presented, giving plenty of additional information as well as excellent directions. They were able to accommodate a couple of changes that we requested without any problem..

Wonderful train trip around Scotland! Starting in Edinburgh, on to Pitlochry, (our favorite town), then on to Inverness, Skye, Spean Bridge, ending in Glasgow. Nice guest houses and accomodations at every stop. Fabulous food everywhere! and no midges anywhere!! Weather was perfect!

Good details on itinerary and promptly answered all correspondences. Very helpful with before and after travel plans in Dublin and Glasgow.

Archaeology, bird-watching and knitting in a series of beautiful settings. The accommodation, food were of a very high standard. Travel was easy and the people that we encountered were a delight.

McKinley Kidd are knowledgeable and utterly accommodating; an excellent service.

My wife and I have long since wanted to visit the far north of Scotland and to drive the North 500 route. The route has become very popular with overseas visitors and finding good accommodation can be difficult. We decided to use McKinley Kidd and they arranged it all (incl ferries). They also provided an excellent guide to what we should see along the way. Their hotel/B&B choices were first class, and this made for a thoroughly enjoyable holiday. At our various stops along the route we met others who had booked using McKinley Kidd and they, like us, were all delighted with the quality of service they had received.

Mcinley Kidd were happy to tailor our trip to meet our requirements. They supplied a comprehensive travel package, maps and local information which were all very useful. We are very pleased we used them and would happily do so again.
