Full description
Make a splash on an 80-minute “Duck” tour of Boston and see the city from the land and water on one non-stop journey. Climb aboard your World War II-style amphibious landing vehicle at the Museum of Science or Prudential Center, and set off to discover unique neighborhoods. You will be welcomed on board by one of the legendary “ConDUCKtors®” who will narrate your tour and tell you about Boston as the birthplace of freedom and place of “firsts.” Travel by the golden-domed State House to Bunker Hill, and continue to Boston Common and Copley Square. Hear about the “Big Dig,” and marvel at fashionable Newbury Street. Go to historic Quincy Market, and more. As the best of Boston unfolds, your “ConDUCKtor®” will give you lots of little-known facts and interesting insights into the heritage of the city. Then, just when you think you've seen it all, it's time for a splash into the Charles River. Enjoy views of Boston and Cambridge that you won't get anywhere else. All tours feature a fun, informative local guide. In addition, foreign language tours depart every half hour from the Museum of Science location. These tours utilize cutting-edge GPS technology to offer tours in Spanish, German, French, Mandarin, Japanese, Italian, Portuguese (Brazilian dialect), Cantonese and Korean, at no additional cost to you. If you require this multilingual commentary, be sure to choose the option from the Museum of Science.

So glad we booked our Duck Tour!! Our guide was hilarious and well informed. We had a great historical refresher as we saw key items in town. The boat part was unique and a hoot! After our tour we went on to visit Boston’s downtown library, as our guide suggested. Wow! My husband and I thank you for our professional, and engaging city tour! (The young children in our vehicle totally enjoyed themselves as well)

My husband and I both had the opportunity to take the helm! What fun! And I had the pleasure of turning the boat around to head it back towards the land! Made my day! We were well supervised so experience was not necessary! Just a desire to try something new!

DUCK BOAT: SEATS WERE HORRIBLE (Very uncomfortable!!!) PRICE: RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE! (won't take anybody I know in future because the Price is just simply too much for this simple tour around the block....) TOUR GUIDE: KNOWLEDGEABLE PARKING: Technically, ADDED to cost of expensive already duck boat tour! WHO DID YOU GO WITH QUESTION, MISSING, " My family, all adults "
