Nice sights of landmarks on the River. Ferry very noisy. Website to review the excursion too way too long and wouldn’t allow me to continue

This was an absolutely delightful experience! It was fun and informative! I learned a lot about Liverpool and the Beatles. Damion and Joe were awesome. Damion is a great storyteller and musician!
