Booked online for the Falkirk Wheel afternoon trip. Arrived in plenty of time, was greeted by a lovely lady, i forget her name, it was her first time doing this particular job but she was amazing, as were the boat crew. Lovely afternoon all in all, highly recommend this trip

Great place to experience. Small museum, cafe with toilet facilities. We did the Viaduct cruise. It was a very sociable couple of hours.

We really enjoyed our wee cruise on the canal boat out to the aqueduct and back. Friendly helpful and informative staff. Free Refreshments on board.

My family took me on a day boat for a canal ride and picnic lunch. It was our 30th Anniversary and it was one of the best days out we have ever had. Friendly staff who were really helpful, and the boat was great, had a sink toilet and plenty of space and cushions. Can recommend.
