Description

See Boston by Land and Water

Experience Boston from a completely different perspective on an unforgettable 80-minute Duck Tour combining city sightseeing with a splash into the Charles River.

Climb aboard an authentic World War II-style amphibious vehicle and set off from either the Museum of Science or Prudential Center. Your legendary ConDUCKtor® will bring Boston to life with entertaining stories, fascinating history and little-known facts about the city known as the birthplace of freedom and home to countless American firsts.

Along the way, see some of Boston's most iconic sights, including:

  • Massachusetts State House
  • Bunker Hill
  • Boston Common
  • Copley Square
  • Newbury Street
  • Quincy Market
  • Boston's Charles River and Cambridge skyline

Then comes the moment that makes the Duck Tour truly unique: your vehicle drives straight into the Charles River.

Cruise across the water and enjoy spectacular views of Boston and Cambridge that you simply can't get from a conventional sightseeing tour.

A Tour for Everyone

Every tour features a knowledgeable local guide, combining Boston's history with plenty of fun along the way.

For international visitors, a GPS-activated multilingual app provides additional narration and imagery in Spanish, German, Mandarin, French, Japanese, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean and Cantonese.

Please bring your own headphones to use the app.

From historic streets to the Charles River, the Boston Duck Tour gives you two ways to experience the city in one memorable journey.
