We enjoyed our trip, the Captain was very informative about Historical facts and interesting tidbits related to our trip on land and on the water. His jokes made everyone laugh. It was a very interesting sensation to be in a vehicle that rode right into the river. Part of the fun was everyone quacking away! more

This was great family and individual fun. A reminder of the old days when people just had fun. It was just a plain good clean time!! I would highly recommend this to any family or group going to Philly, or any place it is offered. Laughed so much my sides hurt. more

My husband and I took the duckboat ride on a beautiful afternoon in September. We'd been walking most of the day and were getting a little tired. Because it was my birthday, he got tickets and we had a great time. Our captain was entertaining, informative, played music, got us singing and quacking - in short, it was a fun... more

If you don't have an overabundance of time, make a place in your itinerary for ride the ducks. Entertaining and educational for children and adults or childish adults such as the group of friends I associate with. more

A great, relaxing and informational tour through historical Philly! The information provided is really interesting given the historical importance and character Philadelphia provides. We had a great driver, Captain Betsy Ross, who made the trip even better (ask for her!) and a great time on the water! Put this on your list of things to do first. It will help... more

If you can get on Betsy's bus, you're in for the tour of a lifetime. Captain Betsy is a wealth of knowledge. Her tour is an enjoyment from the time you board the ship. If you want to learn a little about philly, this is certainly the way to go. A little bit pricey, but well worth it. more

Presentation is everything. Our Captain (Betsy Ross - really!) was great fun and obviously knows her stuff. Great tour and she made it very fun. Worth the trip. more

We have taken Duck rides in a few cities we've been too and never have been disappointed. In Philly, it was a great way to see some areas that we hadn't travelled to on foot (i.e. South Street, Betsy Ross House, Seaport Ships) and I always use them as a guide to things I should try to see. They gave... more

We read about "the Ducks" online and decided to see what it was about and I'm so glad we did. It was so fun and informative. Great staff and a wonderful captain Betsy Ross (who knew how to keep the party rolling). I would recommend this to anyone from a child to an elderly person. more
