A fleet of "Ducks", brightly colored, vintage World War II amphibious vehicles provide narrated, half-land, half-water tours of Boston. Do not be alarmed when your Duck abandons its wheels and lowers itself onto the Charles River! Tours cover many of Boston's downtown tourist attractions famous spots like the State House and the Prudential Tower. Keep in mind, Tour guides encourage quacking! Tickets sell out quickly, especially on summer weekends. So go and quack away with Boston Duck Tours.

I Love Boston's Duck Tours
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/05/09
When I lived in Boston, I loved taking visitors on Duck Tours. They're such a fun, light-hearted way to see the city, and the guides are always personable and full of quirky (quacky?) facts. I highly recommend taking one, especially if it's a warm day.

Duck Tour During the 4th. of July Weekend
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/07/09
I loved every minute of our journey around Boston. On the street and on the water. Our driver was very knowlegable and even let some of the passengers drive the "Duck" while in the water. I'd recommend this tour to everyone !! Richie V.

90 minutes of my life i wont get back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/22/08
The driver was a mess who pretended to be funny making wise cracks at passers by and the other duck drivers .funny to a point of being offensive . He didnt even seem to get the message when people from one of the other boats on the river showed him the finger . Other people here seem to be raving about how the drivers know a lot about boston .if pointing to a building and saying here;s this building is all it takes then yeah the driver knows it all . If you really want to see bost take theolley tours .its way more informative and at the end of it you could say youve seen boston

It was so much fun.
By Laura, 06/28/08
I had some much fun on the duck Tour with my family. Our tour guide knew everything about Boston. We went around town on land first then went around town on the water. It was fun. I loved it. I would recommened to everyone to do the Duck Tour.

Don't waste your time, go to Old Town Trolleys instead
By Medic!, 06/26/08
Try getting a tour, good luck. For the money they charge, you would think they would have seating instead of having to reserve DAYS in advance. They offer online reservations, but those are limited. Plus they charge you $3.50 for the "convenience." Instead, try going to Old Town Trolley tours. You can pick them up in several spots. We got our tickets at the Sheraton hotel (outside) in Back Bay. The trolley driver was the best, and you get a great tour where you can actually see, not be crammed in on a bench like the Duck Tours.

A Boston Must...
By tiffanyM, 06/14/08
If you are going on a trip to Boston, you must take the Duck Tour. We had a great tour guide, funny and very informative. My friend was able to drive the boat a little around the Charles River, she loved it. We had a good group of people on the boat too so that was another plus. This tour is a great way to see Boston at different angles and get a little history to boot. I can't wait to go again...

Don't Miss Out On This!
By Debbie M, 12/30/07
This is an incredible way to get a wonderful view of the city along with an interesting Tour Guide. It not only is historically interesting, but also entertaining to drive up the roads and the Charles River in an amphibious vehicle. Well worth the money and time!! You can pick it up at the Prudential building and kill two birds with one stone in your sight seeing tours!

If you don't have kids it's worth skipping
By ., 11/12/07
Bottom line, it's targeted towards kids. I grew up in Boston and spent most of my life there. I live out west now and decided to take a trip to Boston and do some sightseeing with my girlfriend. I thought the duck tour would be fun. She thought it was stupid for the first 20 min. She lightened up along the way. The kids on our tour talked and screamed the whole time. It was hard to hear the driver. It wasn't worth the time and price. If you don't have kids and want to take a city tour, take the trolley tour. It's meant for adults.
