Alles lief einwandfrei, nur die Informationen waren falsch: - Man muss gar nicht eine halbe Stunde vorher da sein um mit dem QR-Code sein Ticket zu erhalten, das Ticket ist der QR-Code und das nicht nur für die Bootsfahrt sondern auch für den Bus. Ich hoffe Sie können das korrigieren, damit Ihre künftige Kunden nicht rumstehen müssen! - Die Haltestellen Infos sind auch falsch hinterlegt bei Ihrer Beschreibung. Finden Sie die richtigen unter: https://cityexplorerliverpool.co.uk/tour-information/

Es war dann nicht das bunte Boot vom Foto! Man schippert ein Stück den Mersey hinauf und dann ein Stück hinunter. Tolle Ausblicke auf Liverpool. Jederzeit wieder.

It's was the first time we took the River Cruise. The schedule is flexible as you could take any cruise which departs every hour. But, I find the ticket fare is a bit pricey as it costs me 32 pounds in total for 2 adults and 1 children ticket.
