Grand Tour of Scotland by Train Traveller Reviews

Relaxed in the sense that I didn’t have to reserve train tickets & lodging, and activities to plan

Everything well planned & shared to us in a summary page in different categories. The same w/ itinerary & tickets reservations. If there was a cancellation, we would receive email w/ changes

Throughout the tour everything was taken care of by Mckinlay Kidd. Accommodation was excellent and we would highly recommend the tour operator.

Excellent communication while we prepared for and during the tour. Vamoos web pages gave a lot of information about places visited on the tour.

My wife and I spent two and a half weeks touring Edinburgh and the Highlands. Great lodging, surprisingly good food and wonderful people.

McKinlay Kidd makes traveling easy. You go and do where and when you want and they take care of the logistics.

The 2 week trip was very well organized with everything going very smoothly. Lovely hotels. Any questions were always answered promptly and while away I wanted to change one of the rail trips, which they did without question.

Well organized. Responsed quickly to quiries.

Wonderful B&B's, attentive hosts, excellent tours and prompt drivers to meet us at the train station. We enjoyed the scenery from the train, and our stays at the scenic villages.

McKinlay Kidd designed a great trip. When we had 1 travel concern , we received help very quickly. Everything was top notch.

McKinlay Kidd created one awesome holiday going by train and tour persons. The landscape was so pretty it was like a post card. If you are looking for a travel team to work with you, they will ask for your wishes of places to see and then will put together a holiday that will please everyone in the group. If you find something will not work just let the team know they will come up with a different option.

Linzi Gatman was great to work with on the holiday that was put together. We made some changes and from there put a down payment and several months later paid the balance. An app was sent via email where you could download the app to your phone and also load it onto your laptop or tablet. This provide up to date info on our trip.

As a single traveller I really appreciated the detailed thorough planning between trains taxis and wonderful accommodations.

McKinley Kidd chose excellent B&Bs . Train bookings were well organised and easy to use Although more expensive than planning oneself it was worth the smooth flow of the 14 day journey.

McKinlay Kidd helped us create a personalized itinerary that gave us peace of mind, The result was a memorable and interesting 6 weeks of travel.

We heard from many vendors how highly they respect KcKinlay Kidd, which added to our sense of confidence that were getting top notch assistance and guidance.

Our holiday to highlands of Scotland by train from the beginning to the end was fantastic.Every train arrived on time and we spent all the journeys just admiring the beautiful landscape.On arrival we were always greeted by such lovely people happy and knowledgeable for our onward journey .The homes we stayed in were delightful all different and homely. The owners were always happy to go above and beyond their roles as hosts which was always noted and so kind .The bedrooms had high end products to use and were spotless .All the beds were very comfy. Every breakfast that we sat down to was excellent slightly different in their presentation but fresh and delicious. The tours offered could not have been any better. The personnel were knowledgeable funny and genuinely love the places where they live and want to pass on that love. It was holiday not rushed and yet we travelled many miles and one that my husband and I will always remember With all the photos taken of all the sights including puffins ,dolphins ,highland cattle, seals sheep, castles, distilleries, flowers ,landscapes an seascapes and many more so one to remember.

The tour company Mc Kinlay Kidd were excellent. Every phone call was answered with a smile. They sent all the details to us promptly and ensured that all our accommodation offered lactose free milk which they did. They ensured a seemless holiday and we knew from some friends whom we met on our journey that if anything went slightly wrong as they were poorly that mckinlay kidd would sort things out and ensure the trip would continue seamlessly and everyone we met could only praise them for their choices of accommodation and the quality of their holidays .
