Excellent value for money crew were great, the trip was well worth it and seeing all the wildlife was just amazing. The bridges looked great from underneath

What a great day! Very easy train ride from Edinburgh, beautiful walk through the woods on a path, nice tour on the boat and a beautiful little town! We really enjoyed this cruise. The Scottish lad wearing the ELVIS belt buckle was a treat. He was funny, knowledgeable and personable to everyone. We saw sea lions, gulls, but I don’t know for sure that we saw any puffins. The speaker was harder to hear in the back of the boat due to the engines, but you’re free to move about to find the best spot for you.

A wonderful time with Forth Boat Tours on Friday. Got the Train from Edinburgh Waverley to Dalmeny. From there it was a short walk down to Hawes Pier. The Staff at the Kiosk were excellent. From there it was a short walk around to the Pier to meet the boat. Which was Queensferry Belle. The Crew onboard were excellent. Giving everyone a wonderful experience. And lots of interesting information. Landed on Inchcolm Island. Which was an amazing experience. Will do this again.

Interesting tour with great views of the bridges. Spacious boat and friendly staff. The dock was really easy to find from the train station. I would recommend!

Brilliant trip - stunning views up close of all 3 amazing bridges. Staff v helpful. Recorded commentary good to a point but rambled on a bit with lots of non bridge tenuously linked facts/history. I zoned it out & concentrated on the unforgettable views. Highly recommded with earplugs!
