On a rainy day, we decided to take the the river and were not disappointed. We had a fantastic 'Blue Badge' tour with a staffer in an interesting suit coat made of neckties. The ship wasn't colorful but it was clean with plenty of seats and well-stocked cafe. Great for first-time visitors to Liverpool. Family- and kid-friendly. Highly recommend!

Very good trip. Informative... lots of sights and information. Very well organised. Very good value for money. The only grumble I had was that the boat wasn't the brightly coloured boat shown on the advertisement .. that was part of the attraction, so it was really disappointing.
