A Great day out! - This was a great trip , frequent, great value for money and educational. We were running late and missed our sailing but swapping onto the next sailing wasn’t a problem , the staff were so helpful. I would recommend this trip to anyone. The only suggestion would be that the recorded guide needs to be louder, we strained to hear what was being said over the engine noise and people talking loudly on the outside deck.

Historic Ferry Crossing - This should be on everyone's bucket list, a river cruise on the Mersey - arguably Britain's most famous river. There's loads to see and there's an audio commentary playing over the speakers.

deebob do the Mersey - we love to go on the ferry whenever we go to Liverpool it is a 50 min tour of the Mersey with commentary of the trade of the ships coming into Liverpool in the years gone by you can sit and relax with a coffee we sat inside this time as it was a bit windy but still enjoyable

Great idea for a trip to Liverpool - It's really great value. The view of the waterfront from on the ship is well worth the trip. The audio commentary is also very helpful plenty of new things learned!

Fun trip but need better sound system - Was fun and glad we took the trip but it was quite a chilly day and was not a lot to see on the cruise. We initially sat outside and when it got too cold, came inside but still could not hear what the guide was saying.

TOTAL RIP OFF ...PERPETUATING THE LIVERPOOL TRADITION - This is a TOTAL RIP OFF. This only reinforces the world stereotypical view of Liverpuddlians....they will rip you off....and they still do.
This is a 10 minute journey from Liverpool to Seacombe.
My wife used to go with her father as a child.
A commuter journey, forever.
It costs £3.80 return for a commuter ticket but you can only travel directly before 0930 or after 1700
Outside of those hours they add 10 minutes to the journey and call it the River Explorer £12.75. They "sail" in an arc for 5 Minutes on the way to Seacombe and there is nothing to see.
This is the most blatant rip off that I have come across for a long time.
There is virtually nothing to see in the additional 5 minutes journey time.
I have been on Thames river cruises in London, interesting, informative and amusing...worth every penny and cheaper than this charade.
Do not waste your money....unless you like to feel that you have been conned
TOTAL RIP OFF
