Summary: Really enjoyable boat trip. Very interesting and informative. We had great weather which is always a bonus. There was an option of afternoon tea, but we went for a bottle of bud and some snacks.

Summary: Booked the tour together with afternoon tea. The commentary was very informative. Love every moment of the trip. Great views of the forth bridges. The staff were lovely, very helpful especially as I have crutches after knee surgery and they were so attentive to my safety getting on board and alighting. The afternoon tea was first class, fresh and delicious. Plenty of tea or coffee.
