Full description

Your boat tour will depart from the South Queensferry, which is only a short distance from Scotland's bustling capital city of Edinburgh. Your tour will include magnificent views of the "three bridges", including the world-famous UNESCO World Heritage Forth Railway Bridge. In addition, you can take in the beautiful panoramas of the Edinburgh skyline, the Kingdom of Fife and the historic island of Inchcolm with its medieval abbey. As part of the tour you will stop at the island to drop off and pick up visitors.

Cruise along and discover the magic of the red railway Forth Bridge, the Forth Road suspension bridge, and the longest three-tower, cable-stayed bridge in the world, Queensferry Crossing.

For your comfort, relax onboard in the heated observation lounge or on the outside decks, and listen to the guided commentary while you enjoy a drink from the bar. During your tour, you will find plenty of opportunities to both see and photograph a wide variety of marine wildlife including seabirds, porpoises and seals.

Boat tour was great would highly recommend. But no notification received about change of marina for tour as cruise ship in. Also customer service at port check in was terrible the man on desk was so rude and not helpful at all. This was very annoying.

The boat was particularly crowded the day we went but it was a gorgeous, sunny day. My only complaint was that I couldn't hear the guide speaking through the audio system because so many people were just talking (loudly). There was a gentleman on the boat that was incredibly friendly! He spoke with everyone, answered questions and made the trip much more interesting. Just wish I'd remembered his name!

Really good boat trip, informative audio all the way, could have done with being a bit louder outside on the deck as was a bit hard to hear on a breezy day. Wished we were a week later as could have stopped off on Incholme island which would have been great but we did see a group of seals and some puffins and great views of the bridges and surrounding area. Only other slight criticism stopping us from giving it 5 stars was the instructions on the booking/ticket app for exchanging tickets before you get on the boat. There was a kiosk but it was locked up and unmanned so we asked at another ticket office nearby and she told us which boat we needed to go to. We ended up going down to the boat and we didn't have to show our tickets even, they just ticked our names off a list - which is fine, if you know where to go. There were quite a few people in the same situation and it wasn't very clear thats all. Really nice crew onboard.
