Overall this tour was great. Beautiful sights and great commentary from the boat. It had a bar and eatery on board. We were lucky the weather was beautiful and sunny. We saw sea lions sun bathing on a buoy and lots of sea creatures and birds! And Gnome island was cute. My only complaint is that Viator did give us the option to purchase the Inchcolm island stop, missed opportunity.

This is a great trip. Unfortunately, we went on a rainy, foggy day, but we could only imagine how it would feel to see all the sights on a sunny day. We do recommend this trip, but consider the weather!

Wrap up well, it's colder on the water. We saw seals and a dolphin that swam alongside the boat. Unfortunately did not plan the excursion so didn't bring binoculars, which would have been even better.

The 90 minutes is exactly what we wanted to change the city walking to an enjoyable voyage under the 3 bridges and get the history of the water ways, pay the extra and go visit the castle ruins on the island!!! 5 star moments for sure!!!
