Reviews of McKinlay Kidd
Short and Sweet!
I decided to have a weekend in the Orkneys. Mckinlay Kidd organised the hotel and booked me a self-drive car. it was early October and the weather was kind. I saw Skara Brae in all its glory. Driving is a special experience because of the narrow roads! Stromness has such narrow streets that cars cannot pass

Rating for tour operator:Very thorough planning and perfect execution. A pleasure to do business with them! They went the extra mile to give me up-to-date information
Thank you Vincent. I am delighted that you enjoyed Orkney.

Many thanks Anne. We are really pleased that our "Slowly Round Scotland by Train" holiday was such a success.
Above and beyond the expectations
Great survey tour of Scotland from the major cities through the Highlands and Islands to the Lowlands. A nice little view into the beauty of the Scottish landscape.

Rating for tour operator:From booking to departure, nothing was left to chance. They think of everything you need to know and some things that you never thought to think about. When I return to holiday in Ireland or Scotland, I'll use McKinlay Kidd again.
Thank you for you kind comments Frank.
10 excellent days in Outer Hebrides with very good arrangements for accommodation, ferries etc
Traveled Oban to Barra then North through the Islands before returning Stornoway-Ullapool. The split of Barra 2,Uist 1,Harris 3 and Lewis 3was exactly right. Schedule and notes from McKinlay Kidd were first class

Many thanks for your kind comments.
Very good hotels with good food and friently staff. Stunning scenery and a magical few days on Orkney.
We travelled up the west coast staying at Kintail, Torridon and Drumbeg and then along the north coast to Thurso. We crossed to Orkney where we spent three nights and enjoyed the magic of remote and ancient places.

Rating for tour operator:We couldn't have organised this trip without them as we did not know this part of Scotland at all. They picked great hotels with welcoming staff and made sure that we had good rooms in them. They also gave excellent advice on places to visit on the journey. They fulfilled the brief we gave them to perfection.
This is one of our favourite parts of Scotland and its great to hear that you also enjoyed exploring it.
Distillery Tour of Scotland
A brilliant itinerary, expertly delivered to a group that in other parts of the world would have been seen as small enough to warrant cancellation. I am so happy that the tour went ahead. A family atmosphere was soon created, and… wow! What a holiday. The whisky almost became incidental; I said, almost!

Thank you very much indeed for your comments. We are all delighted you enjoyed your exploration of the West of Ireland.
Excellent visit to a lovely country.
A six venue holiday in The Republic of Ireland. Using ou own car the directions were clear and the accommodation well chosen. It gave us a superb experience in a country we had not seen before.

Rating for tour operator:Very efficient and keen to tailor a holiday to our requirements. The Director Robert had visited all the venues used and offered good directions and valuable advice. All were of the highest standard.
Thank you Sandy. Your feedback is very much appreciated.
