McKinlay Kidd Traveller Reviews

5 night hotel/car holiday on Orkney including a flight to and tour of Papa Westray Everything was first class, hotel, tours and general experience. Only tainted by our experience at Glasgow Airport. We checked in at 9.30am for an 11.00 departure. We eventually left the ground at 7.30pm having been given no explanation as why we were being delayed. We were eventually told by staff that the flight would leave at 5.30 but learned later from a fellow passenger that the plane hadn't even left Kirkwall at that time!

Excellent

Journey by rail around Scotland, including on steam trains through spectacular countryside. This gave us a wonderful experience in the Scottish Highlands. We found the Scottish people most pleasant and always very helpful.

Very helpful and keen to adjust the train holiday to our requirements. The itinerary was well planned and executed. Accommodation and dining suggestions were excellent. The information pack was first class and we felt we received the holiday the operator described.

We went for ten days motoring and stayed in five hotels booked and recommended by McKinlay Kidd. It was altogether enjoyable and every thing worked. We are pleased to recommend them.

Eficient, courteous and helpful.

We journeyed to Orkney for the Ultimate Orkney Experience with McKinley Kidd. The details provided were spot on and very thorough. The car hire excellent and car very comfortable. The hotel chosen was as advertised and in a great central location for both driving the island and walking in Kirkwall. Papa Westray is a must addition to a stay in Orkney. The ancient site of Knap Howe is one of the best sites we visited. The nature walk with the ranger was both educational and fun. Flying on the shortest commercial flight to get there (2 minutes) was a kick. Orkney is a magical place and one I wish to return.

Excellent service and very thorough details for an independent journey. I will use McKinley Kidd again for travels to this part of the world.

3 days spent in the peaceful setting of Islay, scurrying about the island a hired fiesta & staying at a small, but excellent hotel. Holiday was brilliantly organised by McKinlay kidd, enabling me to have a very relaxing break.

Very helpful, not too expensive & most efficient. Is genuinely interested in giving clients an enjoyable holiday & I am happy to recommend them to everybody.

A fantastic holiday skilfully and thoughtfully put together by a well organised efficient company. The diversity and uniqueness of this holiday is something very special.

Can only reiterate above comments. The tour company was brilliant. Special thanks to Anna for sorting everything for us.

The weather tried to put a damper on the holiday but with so many options of what to do, it was a perfect holiday. Everything was thought through to make it a fabulous overall experience that I heartily recommend!

Even with the impending rail strike they were able to put us at ease - they thought of everything so we could sit back and enjoy the experiences.

Absolutely brilliant.

Their service is outstanding - second to none.

Three weeks in the Scottish islands. Excellent itinerary, great choice of accommodation.

McKinlay Kidd not only organised an excellent holiday for us, they were also available to instigate a contingency plan when it looked as though our Oban-Barra ferry might be cancelled. Comforting.

We enjoyed a lovely Train Tour around Scotland, including stops at Glasgow, Spean Bridge, Isle of Skye, Inverness, Pitlochry and Edinburgh. McKinley had pre-booked all of our trains, taxis or alternative transport, accomodations in fine country inns, and city B & B's.

Everything was so easy and comfortable. We were free to relax and enjoy every minute, and there were no nasty surprises - in fact we were overwhelmed every day by what a wonderful adventure we were having. We could not be happier with the arrangements, and looked forward to every day, hoping the days wouldn't go by too fast.
