    All good from booking finding the site on net and to getting the ticket to the meeting point and to the ride itself

    I feel it was more of a relaxing ride on the river than an educational journey about the music, especially the song, Ferry Cross the Mersey and Jerry Marsden, which is what I was expecting.

    Short ferry ride on the river that gives you a nice overview of the Liverpool city riverfront. Pleasant ride at a decent price.

  • Informative but not the ferry shown in picture

    The cruise is not on the ferry shown in the picture, it's a black and white ferry. The information guide whilst on the ferry was interesting and informative
