The lady at the point of origin to get on the bus was kind, but we waited over 30 minutes. The microphone/speaker on the bus did not work well making it difficult to hear. Lots of turns in a big city. I was required to select an option above, but it's not the real reason for my mediocre review, those are stated above. If you are not a Beatles junkie, Liverpool is a big city.

We waited at the bus stop for 55 minutes before a bus turned up and then 2 arrived, we asked the bus driver how often the buses ran, he said every 15 minutes, we told him we had waited for 55 minutes and he told us that no way had we waited that long, we told him we had definitely waited that long, he was rude and didn't believe us, the trip once on the bus was fab,

Very quick entry and super friendly staff who try to make the visit special. My mum was treated like a VIP. She stuggles with stairs and escalators but lots of fuss was made of her and she was shown to a lift every time.

It was a memorable moment. I was happy to see the famous 2005 instabul champions League trophy. I watched the match as a teenager in Nigeria so it's so refreshing to see the trophy life.I urge every football lover to go to Anfield and enjoy the moment regardless of the club you support. As a Barca fan myself I was happy to be there.

Well organised, easy to go around & the staff were very quick to show me the way to the lifts as I use a walking stick. You get to see the home & away changing rooms & sit on the players seats in the changing room. We walked down the tunnel & touched the badge before being allowed pitch side. All the staff we encountered were lovely, polite & friendly with typical Liverpudlian wit!
