Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Boston Duck Tours, 53 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA 02199-7658
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!

So, I'm not a huge fan of bus guided tours because I often find them a bit boring with monocordic narrators that are only reciting what could have been a pre recorded thing. But someone randomly recommend me this one, and since I've been wanting to try one of those land to water vehicles, I just bought a ticket and joined Boston Duck Tours. And.. oh man, it was incredible!! Dr Ben Avery Weare was probably the most passionate tour guide I've ever met, and I think everyone on board felt the same. He was very knowledgeable about the city, funny without sounding forced, such a joy to be with. He kept us entertained with historical facts for almost two hours that just flown by. I swear, I didn't know any of the other people on board, but we all left with such huge smiles on our faces that I'm sure everyone had such a great time as I had. I highly recommend doing this tour and, if possible, trying to do it with Ben!
