As it was a very cold day we decided to take the Packet Boat Trip dock tour. The boat was warm and the staff very knowledgable and attentive. The trip costs £5.50 for an adult and for a 45 minute trip with live commentary this seems more than reasonable! The captain provided excellent knowledge on buildings and other boats on... More

We were on the open top top boat. We took a blanket which was useful . They did have blankets for those who needed. Staff very friendly and very informative. Very enjoyable time and learnt lots about harbour.

In December we hired one of the boats to get to our wedding reception. The boat had such an impact! We had a trip around the docks, then we're dropped off at bordeaux quay. Couldn't reccomendation it enough, the people are lovely.

We took the Tour of the Docks tour as a spur of the moment decision whilst we were heading for the SS Great Britain. It was a good decision. There were not many people on the boat as it was the early trip. The commentary was excellent. The guy really knew the city and its docks well. He pointed out... More

Took my daughter and grandsons aged 8 and 11 on this trip on 23rd August and we all agreed it was a lovely way to spend the best part of a day. The commentary was very interesting for all of us and despite having lived in Bristol for many years, we all learnt something. The option was a pub lunch... More
