Reviews of McKinlay Kidd










Tailor-made Car-free Aran Islands
Wanted to do something great for a special occasion and whilst the standard trip was not available for the dates we wanted,McKinlay Kidd were able to come up with a tailor-made alternative which was just as good. Throughout the trip everything was in place for when we arrived in Galway and then flew over to the Aran Islands and stayed in a lovely B&B that went out of its way to make us welcome and looked after our needs.

McKinlay Kidd were able to put together a tailor-made trip for us providing good advice on transport options and the amounts of time needed to complete different legs of the journeys between stops. Made all the arrangements so everything was in place and we were expected at every destination.





Wonderful Scotland
Touring the North West Highlands - completed the North Coast 500. McKinlay Kidd offered the route schedule, recommending cafes, and everything was perfect. Accommodation was of a mixed variety from Hotel, B & B, Michelin rated restaurants with rooms. All food was excellent

A short break in Edinburgh
We had 5 days in Edinburgh and filled the days with good experiences. Edinburgh is a fascinating city and there is such a lot to see and do. We went to the Royal Highland show-Scotland`s showcase for agricultural and countryside pursuits and products. We visited the Botanical gardens-with its magnificent glasshouses and we spent hours in the Museum of Edinburgh,visiting the amazing Celtic exhibition. We went to swim in the Commonwealth pool-this ...
We had 5 days in Edinburgh and filled the days with good experiences. Edinburgh is a fascinating city and there is such a lot to see and do. We went to the Royal Highland show-Scotland`s showcase for agricultural and countryside pursuits and products. We visited the Botanical gardens-with its magnificent glasshouses and we spent hours in the Museum of Edinburgh,visiting the amazing Celtic exhibition. We went to swim in the Commonwealth pool-this pool used also for Olympic training. As we were slightly exhausted after all that, we took a day tour to Loch Lomond and Stirling Castle with a flying visit to The Kelpies! We stayed in a comfortable and welcoming hotel which Mckinlay Kidd found for us.

Everything was arranged perfectly for us! Robert was very helpful in planning our trip and working round our requirements, and gave excellent restaurant recommendations and advice on places to visit. Directions to the hotels were also spot on!





Top combination of relaxed rail travel, ideal accommodation, expert guides and plenty of time to enjoy it all.
McKinlay Kidd have put together a balanced and well-constructed itinerary combining the best of scenic and historic Scotland in a way that allows time to enjoy the journey and reflect on the experience. Particularly enjoyed not being part of a group.

Fully professional and very personalised. Every phase worked like clockwork and as scheduled by the company, making independent travel a breeze. All arranged accommodation, day tour guides and travel modes were A1.





FIRST CLASS HOLIDAY. BEAUTIFUL HOTELS AND A GREAT EXPERIENCE
We recently spent 10 days on a premier train trip round Scotland, staying in first class hotels. McKinley Kidd had organised everything down to the minute detail and it was all excellent. The Isle of Skye was fabulous and McKinley went the extra mile making sure we weren`t stuck in Mallaig when the ferry was not expected to run and we were taken by car round to Skye with a very obliging driver. Loch Ness Lodge Hotel was the highlight with ...

Loch Ness Lodge Hotel was the highlight with Scott making us most welcome. All in all a fabulous experience.

Every detail was taken care of. We just had to make sure we were in the right place at the right time. An excellent company to deal with. Our American friends were also extremely impressed.





Steam train ride to the West Highlands
We loved our holiday. Scotland is beautiful. The scenery is spectacular. We would have loved to stay longer.

Shetland and Orkney Fly-Drive
McKinlay-Kidd organized flights from Glasgow to Shetland, then to Orkney, then back to Glasgow. They arranged car hire and hotel accommodation. They provided maps and travel suggestions. All were absolutely perfect, and I will absolutely use this polite, accommodating, detail oriented agency any time I travel in an area they serve. The hotels were conveniently located, with high quality service, food, and rooms. It was one of the best trips ever...

This was a Mother-Daughter adventure, and we had so much worry-free fun because of McKinley-Kidd!

Thank you Jane, for your very kind comments.





Wildness and wildlife in the Outer Hebrides
Our first visit to the Western Isles and enjoyed both the wildlife and the historic sites which we found particularly impressive. The holiday was made even more memorable by the wonderful weather during our visit.
