Boston Duck Tours
About
Boston Duck Tours runs fully narrated sightseeing tours aboard DUCKs, World War II-style amphibious landing craft that drive on city streets and then roll straight into the water. The route passes landmarks such as the Old State House, the current State House, Boston Common, the Public Garden and Faneuil Hall before splashing into the Charles River for views of the Boston and Cambridge skylines. It bills itself as the only tour operator that covers both land and water.
Each tour is led by a ConDUCKtor, a guide who puts a personal spin on the narration to keep it fun and educational for kids and history buffs alike. Tours leave from the Prudential Center and the Museum of Science on an 80-minute route, or from the New England Aquarium on a shorter 65-minute route. Groups can add a lunch, dinner or another Boston attraction to their booking to build a full outing around the ride.
