1Cruise never went ahead
The cruise did not go ahead due to 'technical issues' Whilst I appreciate some things are unavoidable, I found out purely by chance after checking online - as the weather was very windy. I was not advised by Viator that the cruise was not going ahead.

5Perfect Introduction to the city
This was a perfect tour up and down the Liverpool riverside, highlighting all the important landmarks as we went. This was the very first thing I did on arrival in the city and it was a great introduction which I would recommend to future visitors.
1Dreadful
If you want a Mersey ferry trip which is soulless with no atmosphere with a running commentary only available if you have a smart phone, then this is the trip for you

About Liverpool
Liverpool is a maritime city on the River Mersey in north-west England, known for its docks, two cathedrals and as the birthplace of the Beatles.
Liverpool grew into a major world port in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the Pier Head still shows it: the Royal Liver Building and its two neighbours, together called the Three Graces, stand side by side above the Mersey. Behind them lies the Albert Dock, a former warehouse complex of red brick and iron columns that now holds galleries, shops and the Merseyside Maritime Museum.
Top-ranked sights in Liverpool: Liverpool Cathedral, Strawberry Field, Penny Lane.
