I can highly recommend the 360 degree tour of the Royal Liver Building which is well worth doing. The tour involves visits to the roof areas of the buidling in addition to an enjoyable projection show in one of the clock towers that takes you through the history of the building. Our guide was entertaining and very imformative and we were given plenty of time on the roof terraces to take lots of photos of the views both above and below. The only thing to be aware of is you need to climb lots of steps on the tour and the highest levels of the building are accessed via a spiral staircase so the tour is not suitable for folk who have mobility issues and cannot manage stairs.

A very good communication in advance by email. A worm welcome at the desk and again good information how the tour will happen. Free lockers are available to let unhandy things like a rucksack downstairs. The tour with Shan was very good and informative. There was always room for questions and all in all we had enough time on the platforms outside for photos. The views are fantastic over a really amazing city. For us the perfect ending of a wonderful day in Liverpool. May Bertie and Bella never fly away! Kind regards from Germany

It was amazing. So much to hear about and the views at the top are breathtaking. Proud to be a scouser! Loved the screen show in the clock tower, felt quite emotional seeing our favourite city's story told in such a wonderful way. I was surprised that 2 late comers who missed the health and safety video at the start of the tour were not required to watch it. Definitely will be recommending this tour to friends and family.

Very personable and knowledgeable tour guide. Extremely helpful staff that coped with one of our group in a mobility scooter - although she wasn't able to manage the full tour, the entrance displays and information boards were accessible. Wonderful to understand the history of this iconic building.

Our guide was very knowledgable alongside a sense of humour. The views are spectacular over the city. The film show behind the clock faces is very emotional and portrays all the amazing Liverpool highlights through history.

    My Mum worked in the Royal Liver Building many years ago so when I saw an advert to do a tour I jumped at the chance. Our guide Jason was great and we had fantastic views across Liverpool from the outside viewing deck. I only wish we had been able to see inside so I could show her what it looked like now.
