What visitors say
Went on this 50 minute tour. It was good, telling you a bit about how the river shapped the formation of the city . You have to download the audio via a qr code on board ship and listen to it on your phone , so would suggest taking some earphones. I thought we would travel further down or up river than we did but then again you can't go too far on a 50 minute tour. The information was good and you get some great views of landmarks .

Mersey ferries is a must do when in the City of Liverpool giving you great views of the City from the Mersey river in which you see a variety of sights including the Hill Dickinson stadium. The staff are friendly and with a bar on board the experience was most certainly an enjoyable one.

It was well worth the fifty-minute sailing. The narration on board taught me much about Liverpool's past that I was previously unaware of, and the city views are amazing. It's a very soothing method to get a fresh view of the city. We truly enjoyed the experience. This is a must-do whether you live in Liverpool or are just visiting!

Took my son and grandson out for a ride on the Mersey Ferry as my grandson had never been on it. Its a few years since ive been on it myself, and my parents would rake me on it lots of times when I was a kid. It brought back lots of memories, and its also very educational, with lots of interesting historical facts coming over the PA system. It has a little cafe on board selling hot & cold drinks and snacks, all reasonably priced too. The staff on board are very helpful and polite, and only to pleased to answer any questions you may have. All in all, it was a great experience again, and my grandson and son loved it.
