McKinlay Kidd Traveller Reviews

I visited the Isles of Lewis and Harris to find out more about the powerful Christian Revival which took place in 1949-52 and to meets some people who had experienced it.

They were efficient, friendly and helpful. [NB My wife Patricia boooked the holiday so you may see her name]

An 8 day self drive tour round the North Coast 500 put together by McKlinlay Kidd. It all worked perfectly and the little places they selected for our overnight stops were outstanding, each and every one, as were their recommendations for things to do and places to eat. Their use of the Vamoos App was inspired and made planning a breeze.

We had a truly enjoyable holiday in Scotland fully planned by McKinlay Kidd. We would recommend this company to others wanting the same. Everything was pre-arranged fully, and all aspects of the trip were exceptional.

McKinlay Kidd was exemplary to deal with. A very professional holiday planning company, that I would recommend highly for those wanting a lovely vacation with no worries about driving and questions as to where to stay. All accommodations were first class, as were the excursions and travel arrangements.

Our ten day holiday was excellent. From flying from Glasgow to land on the beach at Barra, receiving the keys to the hire car and exploring Barra, the Uists, Skye, Harris and Lewis to flying from Stornoway to Glasgow we saw fantastic scenery, historical sites and enjoyed excellent accommodation.. It was a pleasure to drive on quiet, well maintained roads - many with Passing Places. The Ferriy services were well organised and no time wasted from driving on and off.

This is the third time we have used McKinlay Kidd's excellent organised and informative services. We know that the accommodation, travel details, times of ferries and flights, information of what to see and do en route is will be very helpful and reliable.

A Grand Tour of Scotland by rail with wonderful scenery.

McKinlay Kidd found us superb accommodation with a carefully thought out schedule. It was clear they were a well respected company for our hosts and taxi drivers.

A small family group of adults, including 2 from Canada, explored the western side of Scotland, visiting hidden gems, fantastic countryside and thought-provoking battle sites. All accommodation and ferries were supremely organised, suitable and pertinent to our requests. We were able to enjoy our holiday without the usual hassle of booking in and checking out, thus giving us more time for the main purpose of the holiday, to experience Scotland in all its diversity.

McKinlay Kidd were courteous, efficient and listened closely to all our requests. Their personalised reccommendations made for a truly memorable holiday.

We did a customized, independent combination train/chauffeured trip of the Reuplic of Ireland which did not disappoint in any way. It was organized perfectly to every detail. Our accommodations were well researched and more than expected. The recommendations in our package helped us so much in making the most of each place that we visited. The pace was perfect for us. Our drivers were so knowledgable and helped us get so much out of each day that we were with them. We felt our trip was a perfect balance for us and came away feeling that we had had a wonderful adventure with absolutely no stress as each detail was perfectly executed by McKinlay Kidd and the price was right for all we got.

I am only,sorry that Mckinlay Kidd does not organize vacations for other than the British Isles. Went to Scotland with them last year and it was perfect . WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO NEXT!!!!

Fantastic scenery, excellent hotels. Very friendly with incredible breakfasts. Great locations selected

Excellent. Holiday was very well planned. Hotels and accommodation well selected. Locations very well selected.

We spent 16 or 17 very memorable and happy days driving ourselves around Mull and then the Outer Hebrides from Vatersay and Barra in the south to Harris & Lewis in the north. We then drove clockwise from Ullapool to Inverness along the 500 route. McKinlay Kidd organised all parts of this holiday magnificently. We have travelled extensively in the UK over the years but this trip was particularly memorable and enjoyable. It is such a long, long flight from Melbourne, Australia to the UK but it is always worth it and this year particularly so.

McKinlay Kidd: I found their website independently without any recommendation from anyone else. It proved to be great discovery as their service, helpfulness and knowledge provided us with a great holiday.

From the moment we arrived at the Carlton George Hotel in Glasgow to finishing 16 days later at the Bonham Hotel in Edinburgh every detail of our holiday was taken care off. When taxis were arranged to meet us off trains they were always there on the platform waiting for us. All the locations in which we stayed were of the highest quality. If due to inclement weather, alterations to the plans had to be made they were done seamlessly. We would be very happy to recommend this holiday to anyone. McKinlay Kidd provided us with maps and details of all our overnight stays and excellent recommendations of what we might do in the area.

McKnlay Kidd is a small specialist tour operator based in Glasgow. They were excellent to deal with and provided us with everything we needed to know about our holiday
