Go for a Ride with Boston Duck Tours

Attraction Introduction:
Boston Duck Tours offer a unique and fun way to explore the historic city of Boston. Aboard a World War II-style amphibious vehicle, called a "DUCK," you'll experience a narrated tour filled with interesting historical facts and engaging stories. The tour covers key landmarks such as the Massachusetts State House, Bunker Hill, the TD Garden, and ends with a splashdown into the Charles River for a scenic view of Boston and Cambridge from the water.

Visiting Tips:

  • Duration: The full tour lasts approximately 80 minutes, making it easy to fit into a full day of sightseeing.
  • Best Time to Visit: Try to book your tour during weekday mornings to avoid larger crowds and ensure a more peaceful experience.
  • Seating: The vehicles have open sides, so seating anywhere will give you a great view; however, for the best photos, choose a side seat.
  • Tickets: It's recommended to purchase tickets in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, as tours often sell out quickly.

Precautions:

  • Weather Considerations: Tours operate rain or shine, so check the forecast and dress accordingly. Waterproof gear is advisable on rainy days.
  • Comfort: While the ride is generally comfortable, the vehicle can be noisy and bumpy. Those with mobility issues might want to consider this before booking.
  • Child Safety: Young children must be supervised at all times. The open-sided vehicles mean there's potential for dropped items, so keep personal belongings secure.
