    Boat left on time but commentary quickly fell behind what we were actually seeing! It sorted itself out later.

    This trip on the Mersey on the Dazzle ship Snowdrop was magical! My sister and I were celebrating her 70th birthday. What a wonderful way to see Liverpool, from the water! And the audio commentary was excellent. Highly recommended!

    Loved our trip on the River Mersey. The tour guide was excellent, very knowledgable about the local area and very entertaining. Naturally it rained the entire time but we were under cover and able to fully enjoy the experience.
