I was born in Boston, but couldn't tell you much about it, so when we went to visit family last summer we looked for ways to introduce the city to my 8 year old daughter. We splurged on the "duck whistle" they hawked in the queue, and watched the characters driving the Ducks start their spiels. Our driver was funny,... more

Cramped space on the duck, for 6 footers, but hilarous drivers and just about worth the $20something more

It is over priced and depends on the drivers. We did both duck tour and trolley. The duck tour took you on the Charles for a very short time compared to the trolley. They don't explain much. We took the super trolley which was 3 different ways to see Boston. Duck tour is shorter. The trolley you can get on... more

Last year we took the Boston Duck tour and it was great. The driver very funny and we learned alot about Boston. It was very good tour for all ages. This year we went back and did it again because we had someone else with us and told them how good it was. We were wrong. The driver was not... more

On our visit to Boston my husband, son and I took the Duck tour. Great tour if you haven't been to Boston before. Our driver as he put it "a career student" had some really great lines. The tour was about 90 minutes. Enjoyable tour. more

Our tour guide, Jumpin' Jim (http://www.bostonducktours.com/conducktors_24_jumpinjim.html) was a fun and quirky guy. He seems to really like his job and got us engaged and "quacking" at other ducks. We boarded from the Museum of Science. If you have a GoCard and plan to go on the tour early in the day, there is no need to reserve a spot online... more

Other than Fenway this was the highlight of our trip. Capt. Covert was the best, loved, loved, loved his schtick. When we hit the river and he blasted "my song" I was in heaven. We see alot of Broadway in New York so we know a prepared entertainer when we see one. Don't miss his land/water production, you won't be... more

The Boston Duck Tours seem to be one of the most popular tours in the city. Our driver was very knowledgeable and extremely entertaining. That helped a lot during the dull moments of the tour such as the seemingly endless ride on the Charles River. I would have prefered to spend more time in the city and less time on... more

How this tour became the no. 4 attraction in Boston, I'll never know. I like tours and touristy activities. But this one was fair at best. I guess your enjoyment level depends, in great part, upon the personality of your driver. Mine was just fair. The engine of the amphibious vehicle is very noisy, and it is very difficult to... more
