Amazing addition to our stay in Bristol. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff who helped us as we weren't confident what we wanted to do. Very patient. It was a lovely way to get around the centre of Bristol and to the attractions. A little tricky to find out times and stops on the day although we were up early so ghat would be why!. Perhaps some boards on the quays/railings with that days timings would help. Ferry started around 10 in the morning. Winter timings due.

I really enjoyed this, though it was labeled as a tour and no one explained what we were looking at along the way. It would have been great to hear even just a few fun facts or bits of history about Bristol to add some context. That said, the staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience enjoyable overall. Neat to see all the different kinds of boats! Especially this beauty. It’s a beautiful way to see the river.

I only found out about the harbour ferry's on the way to Bristol. We used this service to hop on and off and make a full day out with the SS Great Britain, M, shed, lunch and walks. On the way back the lady I belive she was called (madeline) who works on the ferry, Madeline was amazing she helped with my ticket enquiry and was handing our great local knolledge to the passngers on board. We are now returning our return trip as we know theres more to see and do. I

We wanted to catch the ferry into the city centre. I didn't think I would be able to get aboard as I have trouble with my arthritic knees and mobility. The lovely ferry pilot and equally lovely young lady helped me to climb aboard. Thank you so much. I really enjoyed my trip.

We did the "Thirsty Thursday" cruise on the "Mathilda". Excellent experience. Very friendly crew, nice clean boat. 90 minutes of seeing Bristol from the water, very enjoyable and drink prices are moderate. Highly recommended!

Such a great experience, everyone commented on what a great idea the boat ride was and the 30 minute transfer was ideal for a cold winter's evening. The boat was right on time and the captain and skipper were great fun, we managed to see quite a lot of the harbour in those 30 minutes.

We have been using Bristol Ferry Boats for 2 years. We are a secondary school on the AQA geography spec and they have a tour guide service which wonderfully guides us through an hour tour and captivates our students. Amazing service which I can highly recommend.

We had an amazing 3 hour trip on Matilda to celebrate our 40th anniversary with 25 guests from age of 2 to 93 and they all loved it. From the first phone call to Bristol Ferry to the last the communication was great. On the actual day we were greeted by the crew, Kerry, Chris and Mairead, they were really great ensuring everyone knew what to expect and so friendly, our guests felt very relaxed and fun was had by everyone. We would recommend this company without hesitation.

Absolutely LOVED this boat ride and so did my choir! Thanks so much for making our day so special and letting us sing to tracks on the bluetooth speaker you provided. It was the first time the choir all met up in real life, as it was a virtual choir that started in lockdown! People had travelled from all over the UK, and even Belgium and New Jersey - so thank you for giving them a great tour and making them feel so welcome! We won't forget it :)
