Water is no barrier for a duck, why should it be for you? A Boston Duck Tour is a wonderful way to get a great look at Boston on land and water. See all the major landmarks and hear the history of the city as you tour Boston in a renovated World War II amphibious vehicle.
Set sail for the ultimate Boston land and water tour experience! You've never toured Boston in anything that comes close to Boston Duck Tour! The fun begins as soon as you board your "DUCK", an authentic, renovated World War II amphibious landing vehicle. First, you'll be greeted by one of their legendary tour ConDUCKtors, who'll be narrating your tour. Then you're off on a journey like you've never had before. You'll cruise by all the places that make Boston the birthplace of freedom and a city of firsts, from the golden-domed State House to Bunker Hill and the Fleet Center, Boston Common and Copley Square to the Big Dig, Government Center to fashionable Newbury Street, Quincy Market to the Prudential Tower, and more. And, as the best of Boston unfolds before your eyes, your ConDUCKtor will be giving you lots of little known facts and interesting insights about our unique and wonderful city. And just when you think you've seen it all, there's more. It's time for "Splashdown" as your ConDUCKtor splashes your DUCK right into the Charles River for a breathtaking view of the Boston and Cambridge skylines, the kind of view you just won't get anywhere else. So take the ride of your life. Hop on a Boston Duck Tour! Important note: Multi-lingual Audio Guides available from Prudential Center and Museum of Science departures only.

We had a great time, mostly due to the guide! Tip: Avoid seats 1A and 1B. Those seats are right behind the driver which makes it hard to see anything in front, especially for seat 1B. Our rating would be higher if not for the compromised view.
We absolutely loved this tour and couldn’t have picked a better way to start our Boston trip! Our guide was energetic, entertaining, and full of interesting facts. She kept the whole family engaged, from pretending to be a roller derby version of Susan B. Anthony to having us quack whenever things were going well—so much fun! We learned a lot without ever feeling like we were sitting through a history lesson. The Charles River portion was a highlight, and even though we were a little nervous because of a recent accident, we felt completely safe throughout. We even got to sit in the driver’s seat during the water portion for pictures, which was a fun bonus. Highly recommend this tour for families! It’s a fun and memorable way to see the city, learn some history, and get oriented at the beginning of your Boston trip.
The ride was a great history tour while being hilarious at the same time. The host was the best. The whole thing was about 90 minutes.
My husband and I did the Boston Duck Boat Sightseeing City Tour with Cruise and had such a great time. The amphibious vehicle itself is a novelty in the best way, and our conDUCKtor kept us laughing the entire ride with cheesy jokes and genuinely interesting facts about the city's history and landmarks. We cruised past the Common, the North End, and the Financial District before splashing right into the Charles River, which the kids on board especially loved. They even let my husband and I take a turn driving once we were out on the water, which was such a fun surprise and definitely a highlight of the trip. Getting to see Boston from both the streets and the water in one tour made this feel like incredible value, and it's such a great orientation if you're new to the city. The narration struck a nice balance between fun and informative without ever feeling like a lecture. We'd absolutely do it again and recommend it to anyone visiting Boston for the first time.
So much fun and very informative! Our tour guide was very talented dining original songs about points of interest
Went on a Duck Boat Tour on August 31st. I was on a cruise ship and this tour was offered, but not as an accessible tour. So, I booked directly with the tour operator, and the booking process with Jesse was easy. My husband is handicapped and in a wheelchair and the duck boat does have a lift, which is why I booked directly with the tour operator. The process of booking and getting on and off the boat with my husband all went very smoothly. Our tour guide, Captain Runamuck, was exceptional. He gave us a lot of information during the tour, but also kept it light and fun with his commentary. If you are lucky enough to have him as your captain, you will really enjoy him. The tour is just long enough and for those willing to sit up front, you can get a chance to drive the duck boat after it hits the water (I did!). Captain Runamuck took my photo as I was driving so I have a nice souvenir. This is a great and informative tour that is also a lot of fun. I highly recommend it!
Jenny Loggins was great! Very cool experience, lots of historical sites and fun experience on the water
It was a cool tour. Very informative and the tour guide was very lively. Going into the Charles River was also cool.
An excellent tour of Boston on land and water. Our guide, Detective Duck Tracey, was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable.
