McKinlay Kidd Traveller Reviews

We had an amazing time and were totally thrilled with all we saw. We loved the Isle of Mull - what a beautiful place...stunning scenery and wildlife around every corner - a truly memorable experience.

Travel/holiday info was excellent. Communication great and prompt!

This was a train trip, a package put together by McKinlay Kidd for people who don't want to drive. It was one of several packages offered by McKinlay Kidd, but seemed always like a personalized trip just for us. Train tickets with reserved seats were included. At every stoop we were met by a representative of that night's hotel, who knew our next destination and who saw to it that we connected perfectly with our next train, ferry or other carrier. McKinlay Kidd selected hotels which offered first class accommodation and meals, and whose staff knew and were proud of their region of the country and could recommend tours and excursions.. We always felt that this was a totally personal holiday where somehow everything worked perfectly. Incredible organization!

McKinlay Kidd put together a tour package that was perfectly organized. Everything proceeded flawlessly. and still, we felt that we were on a totally personal individualized tour. In the holiday, all our communications with McKinlay Kidd, by phone and email. were with friendly, competent and interested people. McKinlay Kidd are a very impressive organization.

6 nights on 3 islands in the Outer Hebrides. Fantastic scenery and brilliant weather. All ferries and accommodation booked for us.

We could not fault the services of McInlay Kidd. We received excellent communication and literature and all the arrangements went smoothly. Have had to rate a 9 as 10 button will not tick. Would give a 10 overall if we could.

Our self-drive trip involved stays on Mull, Barra, the Uists, Harris, Lewis and Skye, using the excellent ferry system to get from island to island. We stayed in small hotels or bed and breakfasts, enjoying great hospitality and fantastic food, helped of course by amazing weather and no midges! The scenery was stunning and the whole holiday was brilliant.

This was the first time that we had used McKinlay Kidd and they were brilliant from our initial discussions as to where we thought of going, right up to receiving the final documentation which was extremely useful and comprehensive. They made all the accommodation and transportation arrangements all of which were perfect, as well as providing very useful information on places to go, restaurants etc. They always replied promptly and courteously to any questions we had and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who wants a tailor-made holiday to Scotland - although they do cover other areas as well.

Organised from start to finish and all I had to do was turn up

Highly recommend. Attentive and superior service

Well planned, great accomodation and superb weather. Two out of three of these were entirely due to McKinlay Kidd and I wouldn't be at all surprised if they had a hand in the third!

Excellent service - very helpful!

We flew into Glasgow, got the train to Spean Bridge, and from there took the Jacobite Stream Train to Mallaig. From there we got the ferry to The Isle of Skye where we spent a very pleasurable two days touring the island. It was heavenly.

They were brilliant - the whole thing was very well organised.

Began with 3 nights in Dublin, picked up a rental car and spent 2 nights in County Kerry, 1 night in County Mayo and 2 nights in County Clare. Travelled the Ring of Kerry, and travelled Wild Atlantic Way on the West Coast of Ireland. Saw some spectacular scenery and stayed in some amazing guesthouses. We then travelled to Scotland spent 2 nights in Edinburgh followed by 2 nights in Perthshire, 2 nights on the Argyll Coast and 1 evening in Central Scotland before returning to Edinburgh to begin the journey home. All in all, an amazing 2 weeks.

McKinley Kidd did and excellent job arranging our adventure.

An exciting, diverse and very happy experience. My husband loves trains...what more can I say. We loved our accommodation except for one, which I mentioned in my review and the tour operator has answered my criticism, explaining the reasons, and that they will be addressed. We saw so much and loved it all. The pick up from each train to the various accommodations was always on time , as was the returns to the trains.

He communicated very well and in a timely manner. My husband and I were very impressed. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. ..

We visited Kintyre, Islay and Mull. Very contrasting islands but all very special. Mull was the highlight and the whale and dolphin cruise from Tobermoray was spectacular

This was our third year with McKinlay Kidd and we will certainly be back next year.
