All the years we’ve been coming to Liverpool this is the first time we’ve done this and it is well worth doing. The views are great but it’s the history that makes it. We went on a windy overcast Sunday morning and it was only us in the group but they said on a nice day it’s gets busy all weekend so best to book. The guide and staff were friendly and knowledgeable and also happy to take pictures of us all together. The stairs aren’t nearly as daunting as they sound. Half way up the stair climb, which is only a couple of minutes if that, there is a 10 minute projected visual show behind the clock faces then the final small climb to the main level below the birds. You get time to take pictures at every step. It’s a lift ride to and from level 10 at the start and finish which is very quick. If you don’t like heights, like a couple of our group didn’t, the walls are high and thick enough that you look out more than down and it didn’t bother them. A must do tourist visit.
