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!

Loved it but a little bit more space would help due to the lenth of the tour. The guide was great with lots of funny facts about Boston
We wen on the boat on Monday , Sept 16 . This man spoke very informatively during our tour. He made it so enjoyable to listen with a bit of humour thrown in. He really gave us quite a lot of information of our sights. We had done the trolly hop on and hop off tour before this and it was good too but the duck tour was our favorite. I wish I could remember the name of the man who spoke. The operator of the boat was excellent too. Both made sure we got carefully on and off.
A wonderful historical tour of Boston. Learned so much history in a fun way. Everyone was so pleasant. A total enjoyment on land and water.
I was very pleased with tour . I took my 3 granddaughters ages 17, 19, and 20 from Chicago. I have lived in Boston all my life by there is always something new to learn. I would say don't miss if you've never been to Boston . Very informative and true history !!!
Nice tour if you’ve never visited Boston and didn’t already walk around the city. Flo the guide is funny.
Very informed guide, with slot of good information. Nice way to see the sites and avoid the traffic!
If you have been to Boston before and want to see it in a new way this is the trip for you. What an adventure riding in the Duck boat. We traveled around seeing different sites and then we ventured into the Charles River to see Boston from a different vantage point. Our guide "Dirty Waters" kept up a constant banter of facts and fun information to make the tour even more fun. The tour last about 80 minutes and was just the right amount of time.
Great way to see Boston for out of towners. I've always wanted to do a Duck tour, and it was worth it. Learned some good history, saw sights from the water, and enjoyed the Duck jokes. Definitely worth the 1 1/2 hours. Reccommend to everyone, especially families with kids.
Had a great experience with the Codfather!, really informative and interesting he even let me drive the duck on the water! Would highly recommend
Brilliant, fun, really good value trip and entertaining guide, loved it
As a Boston native, I have done the Duck Tours multiple times whenever I have guests from out of town. This time our friends from Ohio came to explore the city and LOVED the history lesson they learned from our guide. ADDED BONUS: I FINALLY GOT TO DRIVE A DUCK BOAT! lifelongdream Thank you, Boston Duck Tours!
