McKinlay Kidd Traveller Reviews

Our holiday in July to the Orkneys, the Flights were well timed. The car hire was waiting at the airport and was very helpful. We were booked into and excellent hotel with a lovely room including fourposter bed and jacuzzi in the bath/shower room. The holiday pack included all the maps we could need and Robert's tips proved very helpful. During the booking process the staff at McKinlay Kidd were very helpful. We thought the whole holiday was very good value. Only one tip to add, the booking of a visit to Maeshowe site should be done before you go, on line or go there and book as soon as you get to the Orkneys. It gets very busy and you cannot book by phone. It is well worth going to.

Very helpful, excellent starter pack and great tips. See above.

hotel historic and excellent in a beautiful location. we made very interesting across the whole of mainland. No time to visit the smaller ialands, so we'll have to come back!

Efficient, information, helpful.

We'd never been on a package holiday and this one was wonder ful and memorable. The Jacobian Steam Train was memorable. We had been booked a table of our own in first class. Going to the Edradour distillery -as suggested by McKinley Kidd- was another highlight. We also got to stay at Moyness guest house in Inverness with happy, healthy chickens providing the breakfast eggs.

McKinley Kidd were faultless. Everything one could want on a holiday. They also added a welcome personal touch with recommendations ranging from bookshops to restaurants to local attractions. Even which whisky to try.

We were very lucky with the weather which allowed us to experience the Outer Hebrides at their very best during this days tour. We were amazed at the tranquility & beauty in this virtually crime free part of the UK.

This tour was arranged at quite short notice by McKinlay Kidd to give my wife & I a flavour of the outer Isles, & it did not disappoint. Our overall experience was very good, & the detailed planning & advice given by McKinlay Kidd was excellent - above & beyond what we expected.

A SELF DRIVE ISLAND HOPPING HOLIDAY IN THE WESTERN ISLES OF SCOTLAND; A WEEK SPENT GOING FROM THE SOUTH TO THE NORTH, USING THE CAR FERRIES AND STAYING AT TOP CLASS ACCOMMODATION.

McKinlay Kidd who clearly demonstrated their experience in this kind of holiday and in that part of the world. Can be thoroughly recommended. Were prepared to discuss our particular requirements and design the trip around them.

We stayed on four different Orkney islands, each of which was interesting. Local guides brought their respective islands to life. We walked on beaches with white sand, and crawled into Neolithic burial chambers and saw some wonderful local flora and fauna..

The operator was flexible in making arrangements for extending our stay and travelling back via a different route. Documention was provided by their app.

After landing on the beach runway at Barra, we spent 10 days touring the Outer Hebrides, from Vatersay in the south to Lewis in the North, including a trip to the St Kilda group of islands. McKinlay Kidd had arranged everything, and provided us with an App giving maps and weather forecasts, as well as suggestions of places to see and visit for each part of the journey.

Excellent administration, and they were more than happy to try and comply with any special wishes, or alterations to their suggested holiday itinerary. Robert Kidd also responded to the post holiday Feedback, which was a pleasant surprise.

Beautiful part of the U K, very good weather.

Excellent organisation,will use the company again.

We flew from Exeter to Orknew via Glasgow then on to Shetland and returned via Aberdeen and Manchester to Exeter....all on time! Our holiday fulfilled our expectations and we had no problems, everything was sorted in advance by Mckinlay Kidd. I think a return trip might be on the cards to see all the things we didn't have time to visit.

Mckinlay Kidd took into account all our requests and supplied very useful info about the area. They kept in touch right up to our departure answering quetions.
