Highly recommend - Weekend break to Liverpool to watch Bruce Springsteen in concert. As soon as we had checked into our hotel, we immediately got out exploring Liverpool. I booked via trip advisor whilst standing in the bus stop! We jumped on the next open top bus. It gave us a brilliant whistle stop tour with really interesting commentary through Liverpool. You can get off whenever you wish. We stayed on almost to the end and got off at the Albert Docks. Highly recommend if you have never been to Liverpool before to show you all the main sights and you get your bearings really quickly too. Great tour. Thankyou

We made the day about the Beatles. The tour gave us the lay of the land and then we self directed our day - The tour was fun and informative thanks to our guide Julie whose knowledge and sense of fun. Great experience. After this tour we added on the Beatles Tour. I would recommend both. The Beatles Tour was given by Richie whose encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Beatles was astounding.

Great tour - It was so interesting learning about the history story of Liverpool. Kim, our guide, was so knowledgeable and so obviously proud of her city. She was funny too. Paul, the driver was very good too and they worked well together as a team.

Julie the super guide! - Julie was super friendly and informative! She clearly lives her job and her enthusiasm made the passengers love the tour even more. She added some personalised little extras along the way and made a point of ensuring that all the passengers were happy, and safe - it was a rainy day and she was on hand with towel and ponchos, etc. she was incredibly Knowledgable and made our tour very enjoyable.

Great value for money but every encounter was different, some better than others. - The 1st bus was great with live commentary from a Liverpudlian lady, giving informative historical accounts of the city but after 2 stops we got off as we were on the top deck in heavy rain. This lady also requested that passengers were seated for safety reasons before the bus could move off. The 2nd bus was the opposite with dodgy connection on the speaker. This lady hardly said a word but played Beatles songs whilst the passengers made their way to seats as the bus moved. The staff allowed 2 very wobbly older passengers up onto the top deck of the bus, one had been seated in a wheelchair & required help up the stairs from family. This took some time and eventually the bus moved off before they were seated!! Possibly selfish seat hoggers in the warm & dry downstairs did not give up their seats for this older couple.? So why didn’t the staff ask them to do this!? We got off the bus at the next stop so we’ll never know if the older folk are still stuck on that bus! The 3rd bus had just a driver, who played a pre recording of information about the city etc. He tried his best to add to the info by shouting to us (no microphone)& playing Beatles music. He got us all singing Yellow Submarine loudly, which passed the time in the traffic jam! It was excellent value for money. Nice to sit down. Some interesting snippets learned, & entertaining. Would recommend on a dry day.

Not our best experience - No indication that our first bus stop (next to line st station) wasn’t in use, wasted 45 mins. The tour narration was in German, transmitted very loudly, which made it difficult to hear the English version in the earphones. The last bus finished earlier than indicated on the internet, so we walked back to the station from Albert Dock. So, sadly, not our best trip.
