As fun as we had hoped. We had been in Boston for a week and this was our 3rd tour of the week. By far the most entertaining. Loved getting out onto the Charles River and seeing the view from there. Well worth it.

Fantastic tour with a great guide. He was informative and had great rapport with everyone on board. Covered so many of the tourist buildings and had plenty of facts and stories to share. Highly recommended.

Excellent tour of city! Our guide told us a hundred interesting bits of local info and history. I brought 2 friends from Scotland who loved our afternoon 👍

Cover much of Boston in one loop that orients you quickly, ideal if you want a clear city overview without doing lots of advance planning.

Arrive at your booked time, check in, take your seat on the Duck, and get set as the city starts to unfold around you from the first turn.

Follow ConDUCKtors on a narrated journey by land and water, taking in distinctive neighborhoods and key historic landmarks around Boston.

Sit back as the city scenery changes around you; snap photos, mark places to revisit, and enjoy an outing that suits kids and history fans.

Pick the departure point that fits your plans, the Museum of Science, the New England Aquarium, or the Prudential Center, and join the Duck from there.
