One of my favourite attractions in the city

Really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Answered questions like he knew what I was going to ask! Clearly very practised at his craft. The audio-visual experience was my favourite bit as it felt very immersive. I thought the stairs were going to be a lot worse than they actually were! Glad I happened upon this on a whim and didn’t have to wait long to start.

Well worth it

My daughter and l had a truly amazing time. The views from the top of the building were spectacular. Our Guide was Shannon who was so friendly and extremely knowledgeable, also very willing to answer all questions. Although l am not disabled l do have asthma so thought the stairs might have been a bit much for me.l asked to be at the back so l didn’t hold the others up. Shannon made sure l was okay and couldn’t have been kinder. The visit was well the money and a great place to visit.

A must when visiting Liverpool

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience which was made especially enjoyable by Caitlin our guide. She kept us informed whilst we travelled up the building and we didn’t feel rushed. Group size was perfect which meant we felt included in all talks given whilst on the tour. If in Liverpool then well worth doing the tour.

Amazing experience and spectacular views

The tour of the building was amazing! Our tour guide, Shannon, was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour took about 70 minutes to do but there was plenty of time to take photos of the surrounding views. While there were 100+ stairs, the guides allow you to take them at your own pace. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Liverpool.

Operator response

Great tour up Royal Liver Building

Great tour yesterday with Shannon who was very knowledgeable about the building and very amusing. She made the tour a very enjoyable experience. We even saw the bee keepers and learnt about what they do. Amazing! Really recommend this tour but be warned there are a lot of steps but it’s worth it for the views when you get to the top!

An experience not to be missed.

A truly wonderful experience. The young lady who was our guide had an encyclopaedic knowledge of, not just the Royal Liver Building, but all the major buildings we could see from the viewing area. Yes, there are stairs to negotiate, but they are well lit and have solid handrails. There is a halfway halt in the clock chamber where a spectacular video is shown charting the history of Liverpool. The 360 deg. views from the platform below one of the Liver Birds are absolutely amazing. The whole city and river are laid out before you. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the tour.

Operator response

Thank you for your detailed review, Mike! It is lovely to hear you enjoyed the views from our rooftop balcony and that our team were able to share their knowledge with you during your experience. We hope to see you again for another visit in the future
