This was our second Ride the Ducks adventure. Our first being in Branson, Missouri. I have to say that this one was the best! We really enjoyed the tour of downtown Cincinnati and our ride on the Ohio River. Our tour guide was a young guy with a great, entertaining personality! I would highly recommend this to anyone and I... More

I've wanted to Ride the Ducks since I saw it on Undercover Boss. It did not disappoint! It was $32 total for my husband and myself, our daughter is one so she was free. There is a dollar off coupon in the hotels nearby. It's such a cool thing! The tour guide, Drew, knew SO much about the city! It... More

I have lived in Cinci for 20+ years but we had some friends visiting from out of town and thought this would be a fun thing to do. We purchased our tickets over the phone (cheaper than on-line) and picked up our tickets at the gazebo like building between Mitchell’s and Tom & Chee (a must if you are hungry!).... More

Loved it. 2 things. Expect to hear a ton of kazoo type quacks and wish you could enter the river more than once.

This attraction was so cool! You start out on this drivable boat contraption amd take a tour of the city then part way through plunge into the river between ky and ohio. The guide was interesting and knowledgeable and tue ride was a blast. We had our 20 month old with us and the ride was fine for her too.... More

The tour takes approximately one hour and crosses into Cincinnati, drops into the river, floats to the stadiums, turns around and comes back to Newport. The staff is very knowledgeable as to the history of the area, trivia, jokes and getting everyone included on the tour. However, the short trip makes it seem like an overspend. May be better as...

We have been on duck boats before in a couple of different cities, so we thought we would catch this one. The tour was altered a little because of traffic from the Reds game and they shut down streets for the Taste of Cincinnati festival. As a result, the tour started over a half hour late. Captain Dan explained why... More

We've ridden the Ducks twice now and enjoyed it immensely both times. I believe the tour is about 45 minutes long. The young tour guide (Drew, I think??) is so much fun and is super-informative. The splash-down is great! You will learn many many interesting things about the cities of Cincinnati, OH and Newport, KY. Definitely worthwhile- perfect for both... More

We went on the haunted Duck Tour last year and we had a blast. If you like learning local history, it's definitely worth checking out.

I have ridden the Ducks twice. The ride is so much fun! Be prepared to get wet. Depending on your guide it can be really super fun.
