It was just a bimble up and down the river for an hour. Didn't really see that much but it was good value The commentary from Andy our captain was factual with a few tongue in cheek bad jokes thrown in for good measure. Seats were hard and uncomfortable but that is just an observation.
Best Bridge tour ever

My partner really wanted to do this tour, I was a bit sceptical but he is big fan of bridges and he thoroughly enjoyed it.
