Grand Tour of Scotland by Train Traveller Reviews

We visited Scotland, using the Grand Tour Of Scotland by Rail option of McKinley Kidd. First visit to that part of the world and thoroughly enjoyed it. Well organized. Excellent small tour operatives. Truly felt welcome and at home in all the accommodations. Train trips were wonderful.

Everything well organized. All glitches addressed. We felt spoiled and well cared for, even when we never met the operators in person.

Best ever.

MKK secured beautiful accommodations, sorted out all the rail & ferry travel & arranged three wonderful day tours for us.

We spent an amazing two weeks traveling by train around the entire country of Scotland. McKinlay Kidd provided a fantastic trip itinerary that included options we personally chose (castle stay, fly-fishing trip). It was a trip of a lifetime.

Outstanding backside support during our vacation-when trains were delayed or cancelled, they handled everything. Well worth the money for the trip!

Everything was planned by McKinlay Kidd. It was a wonderful experience. And will do another tour with them soon as well.

Fantastic group of people. Planned everything for us. Helped with an issue within an hour.

We had McKinley Kidd organise our great tour of Scotland by rail. We saw most of the country even the places most wouldn’t think to go. Had a few issues with ScotRail but MKK sorted alternative ie buses instead so we didn’t miss a thing. mKK packages everything up on the Vamoos app complete with a detailed daily planner so you can’t do wrong. All our taxi drivers and hotel keepers were ready and waiting for us. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of our accommodation and excursions. We will use MKK again to plan Ireland. We didn’t know it but you can ask them to tweak a set holiday or ask them to organise what you want to do

They stayed in touch with us via WhatsApp which was good because no all eSIMs allow phone calls. They reply at all hours in case you get into trouble. Don’t have to worry about business hours to speak to someone from MKK. They will even book your reservations for dinner! Just have to ask

Excellently organised tour of Scotland with good accommodation, well planned itinerary by rail and ferry and good excursions with knowledgeable local tour guides. Everything to make the holiday memorable was considered.

McKinlay Kidd are excellent. All aspects of our holiday were considered and organised. A first class organisation.

A dazzling, active holiday seeing fantastic places, scenery while learning a lot and eating very well ! I can't say enough good things about the itinerary and the magnificent work done by McKinlay Kidd agency.

McKinlay Kidd is enjoyable to work with and highly responsible and concerned for their clients enjoyment and having a smooth successful trip.

Starting in Glasgow, we toured Scotland for three weeks using Scotrail as the primary transportation... Accommodations, other transportation and organized tours at various locations were all arranged for us and without exception were first class. We also had recommendations for dining and activities at each stop which we used extensively... We saw so much but never felt any stress about the trip... it was truly a vacation for us.

McKinlay Kidd organized the entire trip for us, with the exception of a couple of 'extra' days that we added in where we looked after our itinerary.... They were very flexible in making the days work for us and ensuring that we were well looked after... Their app that was our online guide was fabulous, it even gave us weather forecasts! We did run into other "McKinlay Kidd" folks as we travelled, but throughout the trip it seemed to be a tour for just us... We didn't run into any issues where we needed anything changed/updated but did appreciate knowing that support was always there.

The Grand Train Tour of Scotland organized by McKinlay Kid is excellent, every day you experience something new and exciting, excursions and accommodation were first-rate and very well-organized.

Very organized and always there if there is the slightest problem or enquiry. A very professional and caring tour operator.

We had a wonderful travel experience throughout Scotland. The weather was fabulous, our accommodation and hosts were all excellent, and traveling by train was an stress-free way to see the country. McKinley Kidd did an excellent job of coordinating every aspect of the trip, right down to a minor glitch our last day of travel. I would highly recommend using their expertise.

McKinleyKidd did an excellent job for group of 6 travelers.
