Great overall experience , enjoyed the journey, the guide and the museum Tried this for the first time and absolutely loved it I recommend this
Good trip, well worth the money!
This was an excellent trip. Loved every minute of it. Will be doing it again.
Nice trip highly recommended. Stop off along the way if you can.
Great alternative perspective to viewing Liverpool
Not the best day for sailing July 5th and very windy also school kids allowed to run round the boat unattended teachers took no notice of them
Very informative about the area along the river and relaxing as well.
