Excellent weather day to do this trip. I changed my reservation due to bad weather predicted in the original day I was booked. I used the app to change the date and it was very easy to make the change. The cruise crew did not gave a scanner for my app voucher so they photographed it with their phone. Was a lovely cruise! Be sure to bring a few bob to tip the crew at the end.

The day was rainy, but thanks to that we got to see some beautiful rainbow panorama. We enjoyed it a lot and the scones were very tasty! we traveled there from Edinburgh and the way was fairly easy and quick. Definitely worth seeing the beautiful bridges! We didn’t expect such amazing views! :)

This 1.5 hour cruise allows you to see the structure of Edinburgh's iconic bridges up close. To do in good weather if possible…. Do not expect to see sea lions or other birds too much ... We serve you tea and scones in charming old mismatched porcelain. The welcome is really nice. A special mention for the captain who was extremely kind to accompany us with his car to the nearest station to avoid us to call and wait for a taxi! Thanks and well done ...
