❤️ the boat ride. Was a pleasant ride down the river. Very informative. Would recommend for those first time in Manchester.
We were late arriving as we got lost. I apologised to the lady who replied “we wouldn’t have left without you” That was so lovely to hear after such a stressful hour or running around. The weather was lovely, windy but warm. We sat up top: my husband and I had a beer. The guide was informative but not intrusive. Our kids, 15 and 13 also loved it. Thanks a mill
We arrived 10 minutes before boarding, at pier 8, a short walk from The Lowry theatre. The b9at arrived, everyone who got off were smiling, We were first on, my Mum isn't great on her feet and has a walker, the ladies guided her down the 5 steps, took and collapsed the walker. We sat at a table for 4(there were 3 of us). The table was not cramped. There was a drinks menu on the table, which was really reasonably priced. There were also crisp like snacks. The boat was fully booked. Upstairs wasn't booked and we were offered the opportunity to ho upstairs. Once we had the safety message, we got moving and had a commentary of all we could see. I went and ordered drinks. They were excellant quality. We found out all sorts of interesting facts and passed be gnome Island- a rock with fadden gnomes on it! We turned around close to Sinningfields and headed back. One of our party went upstairs and loved the views. When we came to get off, once again the ladies helped my Mum off. We had a wonderful 70 minutes cruise. If you can walk even a bit, you'll be able to get on, with help. The ladies on board were friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely go back.
Nice breeze. Didn't really come out extraordinary. Was basic. Simple quick okish. Wouldn't do again. As a one of experience it's OK
Friendly staff, good amenities on boat and very comfortable. Great commentry and good selection of refreshments. Had good weather that made it more special.
