Want to find out more about the engineering works that go on behind the world’s only rotating boat lift? Then why not book on to one of our exclusive tours.

Join us on a behind the scenes journey as we explore the history and internal workings of this engineering marvel.

The Falkirk Wheel has recently undergone a revolutionary £2.7 million digital upgrade. Our tour guides will be on hand to explain the benefits the works have brought to one of Scotland’s most popular tourist attractions.

Our Monthly Tours will run at 10.30am and last approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes and includes arrival refreshments, welcome and presentation before kitting up.

The tour guide will then walk you around the site providing a fascinating insight into the historic significance this iconic structure has made to those using Scotland’s canals before heading inside.

 

We also cater for Private Group Bookings!
