We bought tickets online, 5 days ahead of the day we wanted to go. That way we didn't have to waste time going in the morning of our 1 day stay, to get tickets. Reserved for a 6pm time. Did this so, that after walking all day we would have a relaxing drive later in the day. Glad we did. It was a very hot day & we really enjoyed this. Nice cool breeze when driving thru the city & fun riding in the river. Driver/guide was knowledgeable & fun. Glad we did it. We took the one that started at the Prudential Center. They take a picture of you & family or friends, with the duck in the backgroung. & the email you an eltronic version of it. But they also try to sell you copies of it at the end of the tour. & then they send you a couple more emails trying to get you to go the website & buy the pictures there. But we do have the digital picture in the email.

the boston duck tours are hillarious, you can't stop laughing, but here is one tip if you ever go on them don't sit at the back, and if you do be ready to be splashed with water. QUACK QUACK

The tour was really really great! The guide knew all about the history of the city, and gave us great insight into many of the local areas. The kids may be a bit scared when the tour heads into the water, but when they get to steer the boat, they absolutely love it! I would definitely recommend this tour to friends and family. They recommend you show up about 30 minutes prior to departure, and I do as well. The guides will mill about the crowd and talk to you about pretty much everything if you like.

We did the Duck Tour after going on the Old Towne Trolley earlier in the day. My life and I loved it. Our guide was funny and knowledgeable and her humor was in much better taste than what we heard from the trolley guide. It is a definite "must" in Boston.
