WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Boston Duck Tours
Set sail for the ultimate Boston land and water tour experience! 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! Important note: Multi-lingual Audio Guides available from Prudential Center and Museum of Science departures only.

Very interesting ride. Extremely strong winds and rain caused us to have to cut the excursion short. I really thought the boat would tip over, but the crew was quite competent.

It was our first day and outing in Boston and we couldn't have started it better. Our guide and driver were welcoming, funny and informative. I took some mental notes of places of interest to visit along the way after hearing the stories behind them. My friend got to "drive" the boat once on the river and had a great time. We also stayed to chat with our guide for a few minutes after the tour and were given some more recommendations. Highly recommend!

The only tourist trip to Boston which was highly recommended. And, it is probably true if you are traveling with family and kids. However, it was a disappointment for me. I felt like I was in kindergarten with basic jokes from the guide and very superficial information regarding history. I would expect less "show" and more professional guidance. Do not expect any sightseeing in the water, just a round of boat trip for those never been in the boat. Pity, I would not recommend to my friends.

Our tour guide was both humorous and informative. He got the group to chant at times as we rode around Boston. At the end of the tour he allowed people to take the helm so to speak. He and the driver/captain gave a great tour.
