Grand Tour of Scotland by Train Traveller Reviews

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 .

The Great Rail Tour of Scotland offered by McKinley Kidd was a trip of a lifetime. A welll paced, thoughtful itinerary introduced us to authentic Scotland. We were well cared for by MKK throughout. The trip was the perfect blend of pampering and stimulating learning, gracious and friendly hosts, well trained excursion guides, relaxation, and activity. Highly recommend!

We had a great holiday. Mckinlay Kidd helped me plan a trip that fit our schedules and had some suggestions to make the trip memorable. I will be recommending Mckinlay Kidd to friends and family that travel to Scotland. We especially enjoyed our tour guid on the Isle of Skye.

James was friendly and helpful. He helped me plan our holiday and had some great suggestions. . When we needed to communicate with James during the trip he was responsive.

We did a 14 day train tour of the Scottish Highlands with our own individual itinerary created by McKinnely Kid.

A wonderful self-guided but fully supported holiday by McKinley Kidd. They did an excellent job keeping track of our travels and were always available if things went awry.

We enjoyed a grand 15 day, 14 night clockwise tour of Scotland by train (primarily) starting in Glasgow and ending in Edinburgh (after tacking on a couple of days in Edinburgh to get things started). We really appreciate how well organized all the lodging, transportation, day tours, and recommendations were. McKinlay Kidd's attention to detail and knowledgeable guidance made it possible for us to travel by ourselves without having to worry about all the logistical details. Our new favorite way to travel!

McKinlay Kidd did a fantastic job planning and executing our trip! For us, it was great to travel by ourselves, but have all the planning, logistics, and recommendations provided by the experts. McKinlay Kidd left us to enjoy the trip on our own, while occasionally jumping in to make small adjustments if something didn't go exactly according to plan (due to weather, etc.) We greatly preferred this way of traveling to entirely self-planned or small group tours.

They put together a wonderful holiday. When we had problems they were quick to respond.

We were on a self guided itineary using the Scotrail train system to travel from Glasgow up through the highlands as far as the Orkneys and then back down the other side. It was an amazing experience and we loved every minut of it.

We always felt completely supported by McKinnely Kidd and whenever there was a hiccup in the travel arrangements, they took great efforts to resolved them and provide us options to our next travel destination. When tours were cancelled because of weather, they substituted equally intersting tours. They were wonderful
