West Highland Line to Skye Traveller Reviews

I had a 4-day break travelling on the West Highland Way heading for the Isle of Skye. Rail strikes on both the day of departure and return meant that, very shortly before I left Edinburgh, the travel arrangements had to be changed completely so that I could still go but by bus, not train, and with taxis meeting me at different places (e.g. at Fort William instead of Spean Bridge). Everything went smoothly, but this is what you can expect from a superior company which McKinlay Kidd is.

This was my third holiday arranged by McKinlay Kidd. Each time they provided a great service - thorough planning, flawless choices and recommendations, and personal touches which make you feel valued as a customer from the first contact they make with you. The company knows exactly what you will experience BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE YOU!

We flew to Edinburgh and spent the afternoon and night - trained it to Fort William via Glasgow - Jacobite Steam Train - to Malliaig. Ferry delayed McKinlay Kidd quick to arrange alternative. Car hired and drove around Skye. Accommodation arranged by McKinlay Kidd excellent - information and suggestions excellent. Dunvegan Castle and gardens plus seal boat most pleasant. Driving around Skye very relaxing and scenery wonderful. Another night in Edinburgh. People of Skye friendly and helpful. Would visit again if possible - this was a special for us.

Emails back and forth resulted in a perfect schedule, accommodation etc. McKinlay Kidd were friendly and efficient and patient :-)

We loved our holiday. Scotland is beautiful. The scenery is spectacular. We would have loved to stay longer.

McKinlay Kidd provided us with everything we needed to be able to enjoy a problem free holiday. I would recommend them to family and friends and not hesitate to use them again. Thanks.

A very enjoyable experience with first class travel arrangements and excellent hotlas

Extremely efficient and very pleasant to deal with

After a journey from Glasgow to Spean Bridge an overnight at the Old Pines Hotel which is excellent with a great restaurant. We travelled by the Jacobite steam train From Fort William to Mallaig and over the sea to Skye by ferry where we enjoyed a few days at the lovely hotel Eilean Larmain, Sleat. We took a day tour of the island with the Small group tour company. Our driver was Kathleen a mature lady with all the local information anyone could possibly need as she used to drive the school bus before retiring, quite a character. We enjoyed our stay on Skye very much even though it rained most of the time.

The service we experienced from McKinlay Kidd was excellent we would recommend them to everyone they will plan the journey of your choice.

A train journey break. Travelled by train from Glasgow to Spean Bridge, then Fort William to Mallaig on the Jacobite steam train. Ferry to Isle of Skye. Full day tour of Skye and the following day train from Mallaig back to Glasgow

McKinlay Kidd - Excellent company. Very professional. At my request handled all the arrangements re accommodation, time schedules, train tickets etc. and everything was to my satisfaction.
