Grand Tour of Scotland by Train Traveller Reviews

Loved staying in the guest houses. Vamoose was a valuable tool.

They did a great job setting up our reservations.

The Grand Train Tour of Scotland gave me a well thought out, well organized tour of Scotland using mainly trains and Ferries for transportation. Each accommodation was unique and provided excellent service, gorgeous rooms and amenities, excellent food, and top of the line comfort. The side trips were fascinating and full of information presented by excellent guides. I can't imagine a better way to see Scotland!

McKinlay Kidd was quite to answer any questions I had and went out of their way to ensure that all of my needs were met. Their professional staff is friendly and always made me feel welcome!

An astonishing visit and stay in ten Scottish locations (Glasgow, Oban, Fort William, Portree, Plockton, Inverness, Thurso, Carrbridge, Pitlochry, and Edinburgh) with special tours of Mull/Staffa/Iona, Skye, and the Orkneys.

A remarkable 16 days with EVERY detail of transportation, lodging, and excursions handled with precision, care, and detail. They also included wonderful recommendations and resources for each of the stops. LOVED every minute!

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.
