The tour started on the bus from St Andrews Square to Queens Ferry which included the history of the buildings and area on route. Then we picked up the boat and for 2 hours we were given the history of the 3 bridges and one crew member was on hand if we wanted more info. We saw seals on a bouy. You are able to land on an island with a tour guide until the next boat picks you up. After the boat trip you can stay in Queens Ferry the buses run every 2 hours back to the city centre. Had a lovely lunch in The Ferry Tap. We were very impressed with the whole tour it's well worth it.

Great morning out seeing the three bridges. Bus picked us up at St Andrews Square for the half hour journey to the port. Interesting and knowledgeable commentary on the bus from the tour guide. The 2 hour boat ride was great, sailing up the estuary and going under the 3 bridges for a great view of them. We also saw close up a group of basking seals. Calm and sunny day so was a smooth and pleasant journey on the boat which also served refreshments and had loos. On our return the bus was waiting for us for our return to Edinburgh. Would defo recommend.
