Sweeney's Cruise Co Loch Lomond Alexandria, Balloch

Reviews

1. Z Uddin ★★★★★

   We booked this cruise through GetYourGuide and found it very easy to arrange even booking just one hour before departure. A big plus was that infants go free which is great for families. There was plenty of space on board and the lower deck was fairly empty making it comfortable and relaxed. The boat has separate male and female toilet facilities which were clean and well maintained. There is also a small bar on board offering alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks which are not included in the ticket price. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. One of the crew provided commentary about the history of the area the islands on Loch Lomond and the historic clans connected to them. I was not sure whether the commentary was live or recorded but either way it was very informative and factual. Another highlight was being able to stand outside at the bow of the boat which gave amazing views and made the experience even better. Overall a smooth informative and enjoyable cruise that is well organised family friendly and definitely worth doing when visiting Loch Lomond.

   It was a relaxing and invigorating experience. The cruise itself was wonderful, the sights beautiful and the staff helpful. There were lots of people; children and dogs, but it was not disruptive. There was also a reasonably priced bar on board and my friends and I got hot drinks.

   We went on a 2 hour trip on Loch Lomond with Sweeney's Cruises. It was a perfect afternoon and an excellent way to see the Loch from a different perspective. It really made our holiday and I would tell everyone to take the time to do a trip if visiting Loch Lomond. The boat was good and the commentary was excellent it gave us an insight into the lochs history. You can have refreshments from the bar on board but we enjoyed coffee and hot chocolate before we boared at the cafe/bar on the quayside.

   An amazing relaxing journey an this huge lake which is about 23 miles. I had 2hrs tour and had a awsome time. Take your own food and munch with you and keep your camera ready for some awsome shots. Please note this tour is recommended for those who would like to have a piece and water travel.

   Joined a really nice hour long cruise onto Loch Lomond. All staff were great and boat was nice a spacious with outdoor seating upstairs and indoor seating downstairs. The boat had a wee cafe serving drinks and snacks and toilets were available too. Throughout the voyage there were audio descriptors of what we were passing on the shore. Overall a really nice cruise out onto the loch and well worth a visit.

   Highly recommend this fabulous voyage on the Loch. The scenery is amazing. The boat itself was clean, comfortable. A very smooth ride for 2 hours. The staff was efficient and pleasant. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks were available. Tickets were available at the site but I ordered my tickets online, which was easy. I received helpful email reminders.

   Booked a 1 hour cruise as a combination ticket with Sea Life Loch Lomond. We chose the first option of the day that left at 10:15. On arrival there is a free car park, which had plenty of spaces at about 10am, but when we left after our cruise spaces were sparse. Really easy to get on board, the person at the boat had us down on their list so we boarded and decided to sit on the back of the upper deck. The boat soon filled up with a couple of coach parties, so I'm glad we got there a little early to beat them to better seats. The cruise around the loch was accompanied by a narration, which was just the right amount of information without overwhelming you. What can I say about the Loch itself? Beautiful. We visited on a very sunny day in August and it was fantastic. Well worth doing and one of the highlights of my trip to Scotland. I would also highly advise visiting the shops/sea life centre which is a few mins drive away. There is a great observation platform at the top of the sea life centre.

   The 2 hour, Island Discovery Tour was amazing. We had tickets for the Wednesday and needed to change them at the last minute for the next day. They were very happy to help and it was no bother at all. The trip itself was beautiful and there was a snack bar on board too with flapjacks, coffee, tea, and spirits. We had glorious weather but even without it would have been worth it. There is ample comfy seating and some spaces outside for sitting or standing in front and back of boat. All the staff were nice, and we saw all the cleaning and safety measures they took in between excursions as we had arrived a bit early and saw the earlier tour arrive back. I hope to return to Loch Lomond and Balloch someday and if we do, we will go on another Sweeney’s tour!

   We had a lovely time on the 1hr cruise. A nice, gentle way to see some of the sights on the loch. I've visited Loch Lomond numerous times but this is the first time I'd been sightseeing on the loch and I'm so glad I did it. We also got to see the seaplane landing and taking off, which was cool, and unexpected! As for the boat itself, I have limited mobility and was slightly concerned about access and where I'd be able to sit. Thankfully, there was a ramp onto the boat and the stairs to the top deck were just normal stairs. Although even if they had been steep there was plenty of seating downstairs. We didn't need the bar, or the toilet but it was good to know they were. Overall, a lovely afternoon trip!
