Great river tour - Last minute cruise destination due to weather. Did a Quick Look around at activities and the river tour was right beside the cruise dock. Perfect introduction to the city and the audio was interesting and engaging.

Life Goes On Day After Day 🎶 - Yeah 💙 🎶 Life goes on day after day. Hearts torn in every way. So Ferry across the Royal Blue Mersey. Cause this lands the place I love. And here I'll stay 🎶 .. Ex Royal Navy Submariner and Life Long Proud Senior Evertonian truly enjoyed the 50 minute River cruise in the sunshine. It was a real pleasure to view our (Everton Football Club) wonderful new home .. stadium 🏟 💙 from the river. So I'll continue to say "Here I always will stay" Highly recommended 💙 Sincere thanks for the short river explorer cruise, the information shared of the fascinating history of the river not forgetting the magnificent incredible waterfront of this unique city of blue Liverpool.

Fun Mersey tour - Nice brief ferry trip. Sometimes hard to hear the audio. Many of the sites seems to be on the right hand side of the boat (we were seated on the left).

Nice trip but could hardly hear the commentary ,even though we were right by the speaker plenty of seating available, sensible - Would have been 5/5 but couldn't hear the commentary at all despite sitting right near a speaker. There was plenty of seating available inside of out.

Legendary Liverpool Waterfront - Went with elderly parents on the 3pm ferry. Prebooked online. Busy but managed to get seats, like bistro/cafe chairs, so moveable. Some of the commentary was hard to hear, over the sound of the engines. What was audible was very interesting, providing information about features on both sides of the river. My advice - to really make the most of the highlights bring binoculars or a zoom camera/phone. We did not make use of the free bus ticket facility to New Brighton from Seacombe due to time constraints, but thought that made it a greater value afternoon. NB. The access slope down to the gangway is very steep, especially walking back up after cruise, so may not be suitable for all. There are different levels once on board which can be accessed with/without stairs, (steep stairs) along with an accessible disabled toilet. Areas to sit/stand on outside decks, partially covered ones and internal.

Family Trip on the Mersey - Lovely historic trip on the Mersey. Lots of people but plenty of seats for a good view of all the sights. Good price for 50 minutes too

The Mersey belongs to Liverpool and its history. So a trip is part of it - Nice trip on the Mersey, although the sound was mediocre and by no means everything was included. But definitely recommended to do this.

Bring a windbreaker - It was lovely to sit and see the city. It was breezy so you may want to bring a windbreaker. All in all it was very nice. If I go again I probably would not sit in the bow section.

Disappointed - I feel it was more of a relaxing ride on the river than an educational journey about the music, especially the song, Ferry Cross the Mersey and Jerry Marsden, which is what I was expecting.
