McKinlay Kidd Traveller Reviews

Absolutely wonderful. Magnificent scenery, rich history, friendly people, smooth travel, great accommodations.

McKinley-Kidd handled all of our travel and lodging details. They were absolutely superb. They even arranged alternate transportation when a last minute train strike occurred. Their attention to detail and ability to secure such first class tour and travel professionals made all the difference. I wholeheartedly commend them. They will definitely be who we use on our next trip to Great Britain or Ireland.

We enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere, good food and excellent service at the hotels as we did the stunning scenery.

Well planned itinerary,friendly and helpful staff who kept us informed about last minute changes to travel arrangements beyond their control

The itinerary of our trip was perfect in that it gave us a taste of ten regions of Scotland and we are already starting to think of another trip to revisit some of the places that we would like to know more about. The hospitality in each hotel was excellent and the food in the regions was often among the best we have experienced. We felt that the hosts and hostesses as well as the tour guides provided extra care because they appreciated the business from Mckinlay Kidd.

Amazing planning and ongoing oversight. We will use them again soon.

Very nice hotels with opportunity fo excellent excursions

Very well spoke of in the trade and could not have been more helpful

The trip involved three flights, two car hires and two hotel bookings, all ran like clockwork. I was sent clear instructions well before the trip supported by some very useful maps and hints on what to visit. All flights (by Flybe) were on time and both car hire firms were expecting me. Both (three-star) hotels were of excellent standards with good restaurants. It quickly became clear that the hotels and hire companies were very happy working with McKinlay Kidd whom all regarded as ultra reliable. Nothing I saw led me to dispute this. I was pre-warned about the midges. but when I arrived I learned that they rarely visited Orkney and only came to the Shetlands in late August, an added bonus. I could not fault the trip and anticipate travelling with McKinlay Kidd again.

Highly professional and clearly respected by the hotels and car hire firms they used (which was a great help in reducing paperwork.) Pre-visit questions e-mailed to them were answered within a day (often on the day), clear and unambiguous paperwork was delivered well before the event. I could not fault McKinlay Kidd and shall very possibly use them again.

My husband and I celebrated our 35th anniversary by going to Iona, Mull, Tobermory, Speen Bridge and Skye by ferry, bus, train & taxi. The tour was arranged by McKinlay Kidd and the schedule, transportation, lodging and meals were all wonderful. I have already recommended this trip to several friends and hope to return to Scotland in the future.

McKinlay Kidd handled all of the arrangements and provided us with a detailed itinerary and suggestions for sightseeing stops. The accommodations were wonderful. During the rail strike they kept us informed of schedule changes and kept the whole trip completely stress free for us. Great job! Thank you Hamish (Mckinlay Kidd).

Inverness to Thurso, day trip to the Orkneys, along the North coast and eventually to Oban for the journey to Barra and the outer islands.

The selection of places to stay were excellent baring in mind that some of the remoter parts do not offer a huge choice.

Fabulous train tour of the Highlands - Isle of Skye, Inverness, Pitlochry. Even travelled on the Harry Potter train! All the hotels and hosts were excellent and the guides in the towns were knowledgeable and accommodating - they asked us what our interests were in touring. They knew a lot of the history of the region. A highlight of our trip abroad

McKinley Kidd had everything well organized and its choice of accommodations and guides was excellent. The tickets and tour materials were easy to use and when there was a problem with a train - there was a strike - our new itinerary was at our hotel before we even arrived. A perfect vacation and we would use McKinley Kidd again and have recommended it to others.

This was the honeymoon we dreamed about. It was truly exceptional and effortless with how tailored it was for us. Each new experience surprised us with landscape, scenery, top notch accommodation, delicious food, special treats, luxury, and most of all, wonderful hosts welcoming us. Truly an amazing experience.

Robert created a comprehensive package that was full of amazing things to do, see, and eat. We liked everything he recommended.

McKinley Kidd could not have been better. We gave them a very tight time frame to get our trip organised because we only made a last minute decision to travel. They did it. All of our travel just flowed smoothly from ferries, to hotels, to hire car. No hitches. We stayed in good hotels with great breakfasts. Thanks to all at McKinley Kidd for getting us to places on our bucket list. It would not have happened without your organisation, especially in the tight time frame given to get it together.
