Boston Duck Tours

Boston Duck Tours

If you don’t have much time, and want to see as much of the city as you can in less than 2 hours, take a Duck Tour. The “Duck” is a boat-shaped vehicle that goes on land as well as in the water. You begin the Tour at the Prudential Center on Boylston Street (closest train is Prudential on the Green E line, as well as Copley on the all the Green lines). You have to buy your tickets inside the Prudential Center (which is annoying – still haven’t figured out why they don’t just sell them at the Tour). It runs from April – December, 7 days a week, rain or shine, and costs $23 adult, $13 child (4-12), 25 cents for a child (3 and under). It’s a narrated tour that takes you by many of the city’s major landmarks: Copley Square, Boston Common, Newbury Street, Quincy Market, and the Fleet Center to name a few. Then, you drive right into the Charles River and take a cruise along the banks of the city. The drivers really get into it, and like to make riders quack like a duck as you’re driving along….but don’t worry, we’re all used to it, so don’t be embarrassed. I've included some pictures of some of the things you'll see on the tour.

If you don't mind being quacked at or riding in a WWII land-water vehicle, Boston Duck Tours provides one of the most entertaining tourist experiences the city has to offer. Each Duck Tour guide has its own persona, complete with costume and accent-- mine was dressed as an Italian Gondolier. The guides spout little known Beantown facts and take you past many of the major city attractions, including Boston Common, Faniel Hall and the North End.
