I've lived in Boston for years and finally ended up on a Duck Boat tour myself last summer. I'd heard rave reviews from tourists and locals alike, but honestly I wasn't that impressed. The driver was amazing—all the drivers are part tour guide, part actor (and let's not discount the difficulty of driving a car in this city, much less... more

I have to admit at first i felt a bit silly quacking at people on the pavements but once you let your hair down this really is a lot of fun. It is a great introduction to the city and the perfect thing to do on your first day to help you get your bearings. Plus the guides (like most... more

if you like to walk, you will hit all the same points from the Freedom Trail... so it may not be totally worth it (other than the experience of being on the "duck boat") but if it's winter or you want to sit back and relax and tour - then this would be a great way to do it. :)... more

Two friends and I took the opportunity to go on one of the famour Boston Duck Tours.

The tour itself is like nothing you have ever experienced before. Our children had a grand time and even got to drive the Duck... more

We took the Duck tour on our recent trip to Boston, and it was great fun. Saw much of the city, passing some of the sights a little too quickly, but fun none the less! We traveled from the Science Museum, through Beacon HIll Area ( the Cheers building exterior was smaller than it lookes on t.v.) and around Boston... more

My husband and I just returned from our first trip to Boston and took the Duck Tour our first day there. I was torn whether or not to spend the money on this . . . it's nearly $30 per person for an 80 minute tour. I'm glad we did for the novelty factor, but still think the tour is... more

Great way to start your trip in the city. Buy tickets in advance because they sell out quick! The land and water tour is very unique :) more
