What a great experience. Husband and I took our relatives who were on holiday. We sat inside and had great views the whole journey. The great weather made it even more special. Glad there was a wee bar for a welcome cuppa. It gave us a completely different view of landmarks.

On time, as described and despite the changeable Scottish weather very good. We sat it out in the open front seating where the view is best with some Canadian tourists. A little breezy and wet but well worth it. If you are lucky enough to get a dry day it will be fantastic.

We had an amazing trip on the one hour cruise. The weather was perfect. The staff were friendly and informative. I was travelling with my husband, 3 youngish daughters and our 5 month baby, so we had to leave the pram on the lower deck, but we could sit upstairs. We were free to walk about too. I would say that the price is quite a lot, but for an amazing day and memories made, it was worth it.
