Best Tour of Chattanooga
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/1/08
The Ducks are bar none the best tour of Chattanooga. We visited June 10-15. We did everything, Aquarium, Imax, Rock City, Ruby Falls, Incline, Horse/Carriage ride, Tow Truck Museum, Chatt Choo Choo and the Ducks. The price for 4 adults and 3 children was around $120.00. Upon entering the ticket area we were surprised to find a military museum featuring local men and women from WWII, Vietnam, and Iraq War. Lots of pictures and uniforms. We really enjoyed the stories from these men and women. The Duck ride did leave about 20 minutes later than advertised, that was the only "bad" part of the visit but it was quite busy. Captain Barry did apologize for the late start but from that moment on our group didn't want it to end. Mixed with interesting facts about the Duck, Chattanooga, the river, eateries, and other attractions Captain Barry used his personality and humor to captivate old and young alike. Our favorite part of the the tour is when he let all the children drive the boat and his interaction with the kids. After we got back, his next tour was waiting in the garage, he spent a few minutes with us answering questions and giving directions to some sites he recommended. I believe that he could have been our personal tour guide all over Chattanooga and it would have been the best vacation we've had in a while. The Ducks is highly recommended with Captain Barry.
If you read these things Captain Barry, Dave, Linda, and little Captain Beeeeen thank you for the much needed laughs.
