Loch Ness, The Jacobite & Skye by Ms.. J B 24, 10 Oct 2024

Never enough!

I enjoyed every minute and every experience I had on McKinlay Kidd's Loch Ness, the Jacobite and Skye Train tour. We started in Glasgow, took the train to Fort William, spent a couple of days touring the Loch Ness area, took the Jacobite to Mallaig, ferried to Skye, explored Skye, spent an evening in Inverness and then trained back to Edinburgh. The selected explorations were interesting, the accommodations were varied and wonderful, the food ...

A lovely small group tour with excellent guide

We did the 7 day trip from Glasgow to Edinburgh. We loved our guide, Kirin, and driver, Karen. They were top notch! They brought to life everything we saw with their passionate narrative and engaging stories. Beautiful country and people.

Excellent Rail Tour of Scotland

Starting in Glasgow, we toured Scotland for three weeks using Scotrail as the primary transportation... Accommodations, other transportation and organized tours at various locations were all arranged for us and without exception were first class. We also had recommendations for dining and activities at each stop which we used extensively... We saw so much but never felt any stress about the trip... it was truly a vacation for us.

McKinlay Kidd organized the entire trip for us, with the exception of a couple of 'extra' days that we added in where we looked after our itinerary.... They were very flexible in making the days work for us and ensuring that we were well looked after... Their app that was our online guide was fabulous, it even gave us weather forecasts! We did run into other "McKinlay Kidd" folks as we travelled, but throughout the trip it seemed to be a tour for just us... We didn't run into any issues where we needed anything changed/updated but did appreciate knowing that support was always there.

Car-free Scotish Island Hopping

It was excellent from beginning to end. The staff at M-K were very pleasant and personal to deal with right from the beginning, and always accessible. All the arrangements, whether for trains, buses, ferries, and taxis, were perfectly executed. The accommodation was great, and the personal tour on Skye was excellent. The whole trip was a wonderful experience and left us with memories we'll enjoy for the rest of our lives. Thanks to the staff ...

Grand Tour of Scotland by Rail

We had a wonderful travel experience throughout Scotland. The weather was fabulous, our accommodation and hosts were all excellent, and traveling by train was an stress-free way to see the country. McKinley Kidd did an excellent job of coordinating every aspect of the trip, right down to a minor glitch our last day of travel. I would highly recommend using their expertise.
