McKinlay Kidd Traveller Reviews

We traveled the western coast of Ireland -- The Wild Atlantic Way. We stayed in three different locations and saw as much of the coast as we could. It was wonderful.

This was our second trip with McKinlay Kidd. Their level of customer service is off the charts. We would recommend them to anyone and definitely hope to travel with them again.

We booked our four-day trip to Skye and Mull with McKinlay Kidd--hotels, ferry reservations, and car. We highly recommend them. Robert held our hands over the phone during some potential ferry problems due to rough weather. He contacted the ferry company directly and kept us posted. In the end, all was well, but we were so relieved to have someone to call who could figure out what was going on and report back. Both of our hotels--Eilean Iarmain on Skye and Tobermory Hotel on Mull--were terrific. On Skye, we were on the Sleat Peninsula with a lovely view of a small cove. The hotel pub food was excellent, and the service was friendly. On Mull, we were in the town on the harbor, welcomed by friendly staff who were very knowledgable about the history of Mull. The car routes provided were extremely useful, as was Robert's guide to favorite places. McKinlay Kidd also provides a good driving map of Scotland.

Very helpful from start to finish.

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

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

The Old Pines hotel was warm friendly and very comfortable, it was an ideal base, The trip on the Jacobite Steam train was all organised for us by McKinlay Kidd, and was well worth the effort.The scenery was magnificent.

Communication from start to finish was good, the holiday pack was informative. I would use this company again.

The whole 14 day tour went extremely smoothly as did the excursions. The excursions were wonderful. The accommodations were top notch.

Highly efficient and easy to deal with.

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.

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.

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

As above

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.

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.

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!

McKinlay Kidd put the tour together but Stravaigin (Ian Byers) made it all happen.

Three nights in a very comfortable room with wonderful food and excellent service.

Mckinlay Kidd have organised several holidays for us and we see no reason to use anybody else.
