• 4Mersey Ferry Tour

  The ferry makes a circle in the port harbor to see the sites of the city. The tour is narrated by downloading a QR code on your phone.

• 4It was a good trip and not bad value for money

  Initial info not clear on which of several bus options were the correct ones to board at initial meeting point as on our ticket - I suggest you make this piece a lot clearer. Davy the first guide was good - clear, informative and witty. I'm from Merseyside and I learned some new stuff - always good. Volume was Ok but some people on bus struggled a bit - would be good to have more speakers at rear of bus. River cruise was fun - should be a proper commentary instead of having to download something via a QR code etc etc - boring. Make it easy for tourists to hear where the ship is. The second guide (we went off again on the trip) was hard to hear and spoke very quickly so "foreigners" were not able to catch all his Liverpool wit. I got the sense his heart wasn't in it! that day. Despite the above it was a good trip and not bad value for money. I'd recommend for newbies to Liverpool to get a sense of the place by doing the whole one hour tour forst, then the river cruise, then go back to specific places you saw on the first run.

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.
