Boston Duck Tour

Boston, United States of America

Water is no barrier for a duck, why should it be for you? A Boston Duck Tour is a wonderful way to get a great look at Boston on land and water. See all the major landmarks and hear the history of the city as you tour Boston in a renovated World War II amphibious vehicle.

You've never toured Boston in anything that comes close to Boston Duck Tour! The fun begins as soon as you board your "DUCK", an authentic, renovated World War II amphibious landing vehicle. First, you'll be greeted by one of their legendary tour ConDUCKtors, who'll be narrating your tour. Then you're off on a journey like you've never had before.

You'll cruise by all the places that make Boston the birthplace of freedom and a city of firsts, from the golden-domed State House to Bunker Hill and the Fleet Center, Boston Common and Copley Square to the Big Dig, Government Center to fashionable Newbury Street, Quincy Market to the Prudential Tower, and more. And, as the best of Boston unfolds before your eyes, your ConDUCKtor will be giving you lots of little known facts and interesting insights about our unique and wonderful city.

And just when you think you've seen it all, there's more. It's time for "Splashdown" as your ConDUCKtor splashes your DUCK right into the Charles River for a breathtaking view of the Boston and Cambridge skylines, the kind of view you just won't get anywhere else.

So take the ride of your life. Hop on a Boston Duck Tour!

A fun tour with entertaining driver and captain. Well worth the price and a good overview of the Boston area's sites and scenes.

The Duck is a fun way to get an overview of Boston, enjoyed the interaction of all on board.

Review by: THOMAS P	October 2011
Very good trip. It would be helpful to print on the instructions that you need to book a time for the actual duck tour and make it easier to book the time other than with the actual tour kiosk. if there is not a tour immediately available you just have to wait around the area and as its not in the midle of town is a waste of time. we only had half a day to do our sightseeing but when we turned up with our voucher we had to wait over an hour for the next available duck tour which left us rather short of time for any other activity. entertaining driver on the tour.

The Duck Tour was fabulous. the guide was very entertainng, very confident and very informative. The administrative staff were very accomodating. My son got sick just before we got on our scheduled tour and we had to remove ourselves. They honored our tickets for the following day without a problem. I highly recommend doing the tour as a great intro to this beautiful city.

We had a great time!

Review by: Katie C	May 2011
We really enjoyed this tour - very easy to pick up; by the prudential centre and each experience is unique considering each conducktor has their own specific character - this is a great way to see an overview of the city of boston - would have been great to have been able to have got closer to the bunker hill monument but you can walk this on the freedom trail - overall a really great trip!

Review by: Angela C	October 2010
Really great tour and it was made even better by the Duck Boat Captain Foghorn!

Review by: Robert L M	October 2010
It was too cold of a day for us. The wind was just blowing again, making it too uncomfortable for my wife. We tried calling the office but no answer. left messsage. Money down the Ocean.

Review by: Gloria W	October 2010
This tour was recommended by a friend from Boston and it was something different to do. It was a fun time and upon arriving early for our scheduled tour, we were happy to be able to take an earlier one. Our guide was alot of fun and fortunately the day was warm and sunny. The only drawback was there was no pickup offered close to the cruise line terminal, thus we paid quite a bit for a round trip taxicab. We would recommend a location within walking distance from the cruise terminal.

Excellent, interesting tour and very good and amusing guide. Would recommend it.

Review by: BRENDAN M	August 2010
We thoroughly enjoyed the duck tour, thanks mainly to our marvellously witty guide who entertained us all the way while giving out plenty of useful info. Boston is a great place, and this is a great way to see it!

Review by: Matthew T	August 2010
Very Enjoyable, totaly different,driver pointed out historical buildings,giving the stories and history behind these buildings in a very funny interesting manner. Also having the ability with the vechile to cruise along the Charles river, felt like getting 2 tours for the price of 1, highly recommended and if visting Boston this tour and seeing the Red Sox are the 2 must do's. Myself and my family were lucky to do both, also while on the river my 9 year old son got a chance to steer the then boat, all the more funny as he crashed into some children in there boat, everyone was ok and no damage done!

Review by: Francis H, United Kingdom	November 2009
Our driver was brilliant fun - very informative and friendly. We learned a lot about Boston and it was very exciting going into the Charles River too.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	October 2009
It was a great experience.

Review by: Richard M, United States of America	October 2009
Excellent trip. I would highly recomend the experience. Tips for improving the tour would be to go slower when pointing out historic sites, while driving through the city, if that's possible.

Review by: Linda L, United Kingdom	October 2009
Brilliant and funny - I had booked the first tour of the day and found that I was the only person due to the early hour and I went from the science museum which does not have the huge numbers of people at the other venue. I got to drive the boat once we were on the river and I had a personal driver and commentary, not to be missed!

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	October 2009
The tour was very informative and gave us an overview of the city of Boston. The tour guide was a wealth of knowledge and infused his personal experience with the history of the city. We would highly recommend the tour to new comers to the area.

Review by: Christine P	October 2009
We both had a great time! The guide was funny,engaging and kept our attention. Enjoyed the bit of history, and you can still do this tour if it rains, as your covered and they put down the side.

Review by: PARMJIT S	October 2009

Review by: Aaron H	October 2009
Lots of driving around town. Got tired of sitting with no stops.

Review by: Caroline A, United Kingdom	September 2009

Review by: John D, United Kingdom	September 2009
Really enjoyable and informative as well as fun.

Review by: Monroe S, United States of America	August 2009
My wife and I had a blast! It was fun, and informative. However, the seats are a little too close together. I realize getting the most bang for your buck, but the seating was a bit uncomfortable. The tour was made a great success by our guide. All the operators should have his pizazz to go along with knowledge of the area. Fantastic job!

Review by: Eliazer B, United States of America	August 2009

I would recommend this duck tour to anyone who is lucky enough to go to Boston. From start to finish it was a unique, fun trip. It was the highlight of the vacation.

Review by: Lesley H, United States of America	April 2009
Our tour guide and driver was excellent and we have been 'quacking' ever since in the car. We my best friend over from England and she truly loved every minute. It was extremely good value for money and I would recommend it to anyone who likes something a little out of the ordinary.

Review by: CAROL J, United Kingdom	October 2008
