Orkney & Shetland Self-drive by Lizzylou, 24 Oct 2024

A touring holiday all organised for us. Just get in the car and drive.

We travelled to Orkney and Shetland via Caithness, returning via Aberdeen. As we had no experience of this area of Scotland, or the ferries to and from, it was so nice to have all our arrangements made for us along with recommendations for things to see and do and places to eat.

From my initial telephone call, they listened to what I asked for and tailored the holiday to our requirements. All we had to do was drive there and enjoy ourselves, which we did. Everywhere we stayed on Orkney and Shetland was lovely and had been well chosen. We were very pleased with the recommendations of things to do and see, as it enabled us to choose what we wanted to see and do to ensure we made the most of our time there.

30th Anniversary Trip

We spent an amazing two weeks traveling by train around the entire country of Scotland. McKinlay Kidd provided a fantastic trip itinerary that included options we personally chose (castle stay, fly-fishing trip). It was a trip of a lifetime.

Outstanding backside support during our vacation-when trains were delayed or cancelled, they handled everything. Well worth the money for the trip!

Our first experience with a guided tour was great!

It was such a luxury to leave the planning to someone else. We loved having bookings made for us, having taxis waiting, having the research on accommodations done for us.

Scottish Highlands by rail--custom itinerary

McKinlay Kidd customized one of their rail trips for my husband and I through the highlands of Scotland. They organized everything including a personal tour guide so we could visit my clan's castle. The lodgings and included tours were excellent, and McKinlay Kidd was very attentive.

The BEST way to experience Orkney and Shetland

McKinlay Kidd’s Small Group Tour of Orkney and Shetland was well-paced, informative and most enjoyable. The accommodation choices were consistently very comfortable, with friendly, efficient staff and provided quality menu options. Similarly the local transport and specialised guides organised by MKK were very good and provided high calibre service. MKK Tour Leader, Ciaran Stormonth was most knowledgeable, organised, inclusive and personable...

Shetland was wonderful!

We spent ten days on Shetland all organised by McKinlay Kidd. The travel arrangements went well and the accommodation was good. We particularly enjoyed the organised tour of Shetland and the boat trip around Noss.

McKinlay Kidd took the hard work out of planning our trip, whilst still allowing us to customise it to our own requirements - an excellent combination!
