  • The ranking of tours, activities, and experiences available on Tripadvisor is determined by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, the frequency of user clicks, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.
We perform checks on reviews.
Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Brilliant trip - stunning views up close of all 3 amazing bridges. Staff v helpful. Recorded commentary good to a point but rambled on a bit with lots of non bridge tenuously linked facts/history. I zoned it out & concentrated on the unforgettable views. Highly recommded with earplugs!

    Brilliant trip, luckily weather was good, super views, saw some seals, tour guide very knowledgeable alongside a running commentary on loudspeaker which wasn’t invasive. When you see a guide who must have done this trip thousands of times still have verve and passion for the animals and views, you are lucky!

    We arrived at the car park in plenty of time for our cruise, we went into the office collected our tickets and booked our car in for the free parking. We were given instructions to meet at the pontoon at 11.55. The boat cruise was 90 minutes long, you can walk around and swap between sitting on deck or inside. There was commentary on the area and points of interest. Great views of the bridges and Blackness Castle. We had a lovely cream tea & cup of coffee. Thank you for a wonderful time.

    We had a wonderful time on the Catamaran with stunning views of the bridges and a chance to steer too. Staff are knowledgeable, friendly and relaxed. Highly recommended.

    Thank you so much to Colin and Harry for our trip yesterday!
    Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the sail and they had nothing but great things to say on our drive home. We did 3-4 hours of sailing, stopped for lunch in Oban and then continued for another 3-4 hours of sailing in the afternoon. We were allowed to be hands on and get involved in the activity as much or as little as we liked. Very welcoming and accommodating. Would recommend as it's a great day out.
