This is an absolute must-visit in Liverpool, especially if you're a fan of breathtaking views! From the top, you get a stunning panorama of the entire city, including the bustling port and all the major landmarks. It's truly the best way to appreciate Liverpool's unique landscape. The staff were generally friendly and helpful, though I did have a slightly odd encounter with the entrance attendant who wasn't exactly welcoming. However, that small hiccup didn't detract from the overall amazing experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Liverpool. It's definitely worth checking out!

Not bad to finally see it after living in Liverpool for ten years 🤦🏻‍♂️. Well worth the visit though (as long as you’re good with heights). Myself and a friend decided on this tour because the weather was so good. On a really clear day seeing over to Wales and Blackpool. All the viewing windows gave a fantastic view of the city. There were several plaques placed around the tower to highlight the well known places in Liverpool, plus there were members of staff on hand if you needed more help. I felt it was easy to walk around the tower, for anyone who may be less able-bodied I would suggest checking their website for wheelchair access etc. I enjoyed the self-exploratory tour.

Amazing!!! I am 40 years old and live 5 minutes away from this and I have only just had my 1st visit! I do not like heights but found it easier after walking around a couple of times. The views are absolutely stunning. Definitely recommend this. You have free time up in the viewing gallery and just let the staff know when you want to take the lift back down.

Great, if you've a good head for heights! I thought I had but have to own up to one or two wobbles while up there. Panoramic views of the city and way way beyond, even as far as the Welsh mountains. The lift whooshes you up in seconds and once there you can stay as long as you like.
