Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Boston Duck Tours, 53 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA 02199-7658

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!

Entertaining tour leader. I had half a day to explore Boston. This was the perfect addition to my itinerary. Got a short history lesson and took in the historical sites. The short cruise down the Charles river was very soothing and provided majestic views of the Boston skyline.

This tour was well worth the money. It was all about our tour guide. Not quite sure of his name, think he changes it😂 well his humour coupled with factual insights made a great combination. I would highly recommend this to anyone travelling to Boston. We can only thank him for making it so enjoyable.

The first plus was that I was able to shift the time of my trip as I arrived very early; Next, our tour guide had a well rehearsed but still very funny patter covering all the areas we visited. The tour covered lots of the downtown sights, including several on the Historical Trail, and we were given a potted history of each. There was also lots of background about Boston itself, all linked to the buildings we were passing. Driving into the Charles River capped off the event and gave us a good view of the city from the water, which you might not get otherwise. Overall, a very enjoyable trip

Such a fun tour! Great historic information, funny jokes, and seeing Boston from the streets and Charles River was so fun! They let the kids drive while we were in the water too! This is my second time and won’t be the last!

Even as a local, I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our guide, "Ziggy Stardust" was entertaining and energetic, and had me laughing and learning all at the same time. So glad that we booked the Duck Tour so that my out-of-town cousin could enjoy the experience as well.
