Thoroughly enjoyed the cruise down Merseyside, history of landmarks well explained.
Fun experience. It would be better if the weather was nice.
Nice boat trip although it's not the boat advertised in the picture ! It's a much older plain white boat . Commentary was good.
Very quick 50 mininte trip. Good reference points around the course.
