What a fantstic day we had, really impressed with what the city has done to preserve it's past and embrace modern needs without detracting from the city's cultural feel and so interesting past.

After disembarking at Lime Street we ventured to the Maritime museum and were taken on a superb tour of the original wet dock guided by the brilliant and knowledgeable Danny our tour guide, informative, humerous detailed and who bought that small confined space alive with his enthusiasm, really enjoyable.

To the Pier Head to indulge the various boat trips to The Spaceport and U-Boat museum, both of which were excellent and the trips themselves bought alive with the informative broadcast of the areas history. The view from Birkenhead back across a testomy to how you have maintained a really excellent balance between old and new, well done Liverpool!

After eating and spending sometime in the superb shopping area and Liverpool 1 we took the train back to London enjoying a bottle of red on route!

A great day, a lovely city and a memorable experience, many thanks

It was a cool and windy day, but the HOHO bus was the perfect way to see the many sights of this well-known city. The audio commentary brought riders up to date on all the history and places of the tour. We rode it twice through the cycle and learned and saw a lot. It's our favorite way to "introduce" ourselves to a city.

This was a great, quick way to see Liverpool. The city is very small so you could easily walk it in a day and still see all the sights. This tour only goes until 5 and many shops/exhibits are only open until 5-6pm so I would recommend if you are going to do this tour, do it early. We did not get started until around 2pm so we didn't even make it a full way around until we had to get off so we could go visit the exhibit (The Beatles Story) we wanted to see. Overall good value and a fun tour.

We were on a cruise and had limited time in the City. The price was right and it was a great way of getting an overview of Liverpool. We took the bus all around the city once and then on the 2nd time around we stopped at the places that we were interested in seeing in depth. We have used Hop on and Hop off buses in various cities before and will continue to do so in the future.

The museum was good but the walk to the 4d experience was not worth the end product.

June 2013

We thought this exhibition was fairly boring and lacked any 'sparkle'. The write ups tended to be enlarged copies of newspaper articles. The models looked tired and a bit scruffy. The sound taped tour was quite good - but nothing really impressed us. We were told there would be transport between one site and the other, but this was not available. We ended up only going to the one Beatles exhibition as the first was so disappointing and there was no indication as to how we were to get to the other part. We would not visit this attraction again, nor would we recommend others to visit it..

Me and my friend went on this tour of Liverpool, although we are local we learnt facts about Liverpool we didn't know. The commentary was very nformative. Our driver was friendly and helpful, witty but professional, he helped make the tour a great experience.
