Excellent day on the river. - Prompt service. Very friendly, helpful staff, topped off with perfect weather. What a trip for my Auntie’s 94th birthday. The whole day was a delight for four generations of the family.

View from the water - 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.

Summer visit - 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.

fun to see Liverpool from the river - Difficult to hear the narrator. Also, disappointed about the boat not being the one shown in the photo.

Not sure I'd recommend,not really value for money. Couldn't hear commentary & only realised there was commentary on other side o - Trip was just OK... Could not hear any commentary as speaker where we were sitting did not work as many have said on here already. Time to fix it maybe?!!!!!!! We did not want to move as was busy and no spare seats on other side of boat where there was an audible speaker!

Merseyside Ferries - 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.

wrong advertising - The picture is not the same boat. And it's not true that the yellow boat is under maintenance as you always explained the reviews. There never be a yellow boat. Please stop advertising which never be existing. Not nice to lie

Bad - 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.
