We used the Go Card for our trip to New England this past July, and making sure we took time to go on the Duck Tour was a must!! We went to the one leaving and returning to the Museum of Science, and it was everything we had hoped for. Our director was knowledgeable and very funny and made the... more

We went out today on a Boston Duck Tour driven by "Captain Foghorn." He picked us up at the aquarium at 4:00 PM. Although we live only 40miles from town I had never been on a Duck Tour. I can only say that both my wife and I had a fabulous time. Our driver went ouy of his way to... more

We’ve traveled to many places in the world and “endured” many tours, but it was our lucky day when we “set sail” on a tour of Boston with Captain Super Swift! He was awesome, very funny, knowledgeable, very funny, kept our interest throughout the tour, very funny -- and did I mention “very funny”??? From the frequent “QUACK-QUACK!” to the... more

The BF and I only had one serious day to sight see while we were in Boston so we decided to do the Duck tour. Best idea ever. Since there is so much to see and do in Boston, this was a good way to see all the highlights and decide which places we wanted to go back and see... more

We decided to do the Duck Tour so that we could get a feel for the history of the city. It was so much fun and so very informative. Our driver was a riot and we felt entertained for the entire trip. As we were driving around the city, he saw helicopters and realized that the motorcade for Senator Kennedy... more

I only had a day to see Boston and I'm glad I took the Duck tour. It looks touristy and it definitely is, but it's a good way to see everything in the city...on land and in the water. My tour guide was very entertaining. more

it's definitely tight when the vehicle is packed. Still it was worth the time and money to see Boston. more

full disclosure-- I run a sightseeing tour company in another city, so I am probably more critical than most about sightseeing tours. Having said that, this tour had some good things going for it, but did not meet my overall expectation for the money spent ($150 for a family of 6). My expectation was to leave the trip feeling inspired... more

This was an excellent tour. It takes about 70 minutes total. The tour varies depending on your driver. Our driver was excellent, outgoing and funny. All seemed good, but some were more outgoing and energetic than others. My wife noted that we were lucky to get this one as we heard others while we waited. Go early in the morning... more

We went on a family reunion the end of August and had been told to go on the Duck Tours. So glad we went! It was a fabulous way to see the City and learn about so many historical sites. I had been to Boston twice before, but this certainly increased my appreciation for this great US city. more
