"Another great way to get your bearings is to take the city's most popular tour, a Boston Duck Tour, departing from the Prudential Center or the Museum of Science." "Many guided tours of Boston, but the most fun for the young ones might be aboard the renovated amphibious World War 2 vehicles once code named DUKW's, today pronounced "Ducks." Riders spend about an hour on the streets and a half hour on the Charles River while a guide points out the sights of modern and long ago Boston." "My 9-year-old son was immediately entranced. My husband, who has traveled the world trying not to look like a tourist was appalled. After a couple with three children we met in the food court at Quincy Market proclaimed it the best thing they had done in Boston, we got in line for tickets." - Newsday - July, 2004 Boston Duck Tours was voted one of the top 7 "Must Sees" in Boston by Women's World - June, 2004 "One of the best ways to see Boston is by Duck, a World War 2 amphibious truck turned tour operation." "Perhaps the best part of holding a meeting in Boston area is the cultural attractions such as the famous Boston Duck Tours, the Museum of Science, Italian North End and the beautiful Harvard University area in Cambridge." "Top Ten - Finding Family Fun - The top U.S. family summer attractions researched on the Web from TripAdvisor.com: 1. Kennedy Space Center, 2. Hershey Park, 3. Grand Canyon National Park, 4. Legoland, 5. Tennessee Aquarium, 6. Olympic National Park, 7. Walt Disney World, 8. Busch Gardens, Tampa, 9. Boston Duck Tours, 10. Graceland" "What better way to see this historic , red brick walking town than in a souped up World War II amphibious landing vehicle? Board the vessel at the Prudential Center and plow north on a narrated motor tour through the gridlock of charming old Boston. The traffic vanishes when your ride makes like a bullfrog and plops straight straight into the Charles River for some rare off-road views of Boston and Cambridge." "Of course, arriving at the wedding in a white stretch limo is the tried and true option, but may we suggest a few alternatives to ensure that you and your wedding party travel in style. Boston Duck Tours at the Prudential Center in Boston, for example, will rent out a driver and a 32 passenger amphibious vehicle for 80 minutes with city limits (quacking at pedestrians is optional)." "Our driver who turned captain and back to driver was a fast non-stop talking local who told us all so much about this fantastic city that if I remembered one tenth of what he said I would fill a book" "Caddy loved the silly spirit of this land and water tour of Boston aboard a World War II amphibious vehicle. Kilroy, our guide, kept everyone riveted with his insider knowledge and won points with the kids when he splashed the vehicle into the Charles River and invited them to steer." "To get your bearings - and plenty of laughs - book a rollicking, 80-minute ride on one of Boston Duck Tours' World War II amphibious vehicles that rumble down the streets and cruise the Charles. It's definitely not a sedate tour." "You'll feel like a total quack rolling through Boston in a World War II era amphibious vehicle. But you'll have a ball as we did aboard the geranium pink "duck" Commonwealth Curley." "Admittedly, there's no shortage of alternatives available for exploring scenery and history rich Boston. There are trolley car tours and swan boats plying the Public Garden, and a red lined footpath that marks the famed Freedom Trail. But in four short years, Boston Duck Tours has lured more than a million visitors and residents on a fanciful exploration of Boston." |
