A fresh breeze cruising the harbour, taking in the sights. Well worth the time seeing the impressive buildings from the water.
Preferred the morning cruise to wake up for the day.

A trip you must do while visiting Liverpool. You can do a round trip or get off at the opposite port before returning back. It can get a bit cool on the ferry so recommend layering up while on there. The commentary doesn’t come out in both sides of the ship which is a shame. Overall though a nice trip.

Overall a great experience, very well organised and easy to find.
We Boarded on a day where storm Lillian was about, hence we had extremely choppy water which made the ride somewhat unstable. This was felt more upstairs than downstairs. We sat on the inside upper deck, however we couldn't hear the audio for the tour inside.
I did leave the boat feeling a little nauseous.
also be cautious of the river smell.
Glad we did it....however, I wouldnt visit again, as its ticked off my list.

This tour was not worth it. I’m very sorry the boat was old. We could not hear the tour guide.
We were very excited to do this tour, but for the money we paid it was awful. I would expect a full refund.
