Complaint: I took the bus ride to Queensferry but the boatman had no information about my ticket. After much insistence he reconciled with the ticket on my phone and allowed my daughter and myself to the boat. The boat ride was good but on our return we did not find the bus to come back to city centre. We went to the public washroom behind the blue fence and took just 10 minutes to come back to the spot. To my utter disappointment when we came back from the washroom we found that the buss had gone back leaving us behind. We were stranded and no one was there to help. Somehow we walked up to the bus stop and took the public transport back to city centre. It was a harrowing experience because it was our first day in Edinburgh. Moreover, it was a dig in to our money also because the ride back from city was included in the 30 GBP each ticket. yet, we had to pay another 3 GBP each for the public transport bus back to the city. We had to catch a train back to London the same evening.

It was very nice we saw seals on our way and the bridges were fantastic! The guide on the bus was also funny and gave us a lot of information about Edinburgh and the surroundings. On the boat you could buy drinks and crisps but I‘d recommend to buy/eat sth before going to the meeting point so you won‘t get hungry during the whole trip. Other than that, everything was good!

Great trip always helped with good weather. Interesting information on bus before reaching the boarding point for the ferry. Also further interesting info on the boat.Drink and snack facilities on the boat. You can either be the shelters part of the boat, or sit in the open the at the front or rear of the boat.
