Boston Duck Tours Prudential Center Departure Location - Boston, MA

My 2 star rating is based on value of the experience. It shouldn't reflect on the driver or guide. The driver and guide were nice and friendly and the guide did her best to make it a fun trip There are better ways to spend $50/person. We did this experience on a sunny, cool day in November. Our duck left its plastic windows down, probably because of the wind, but I noticed some others that left their windows rolled up (and would have been nicer to see and take pictures). It was an ok experience for me, not spectacular. It's not a "must do" activity.. Personally, I would have rather ridden a trolley that I could hop on and off at my leisure or done The View.

Update: As we did more sightseeing I found myself referring to information our guide shared. I changed my review from 2 stars to 4. Better than I initially thought. Worth doing at least once.

Had a really fun time on the Duck Tour. The guide was great telling us a bunch of facts about the city and kept us entertained with some humor along the way. Honestly had a better time with the driving portion than the time on the water. But the water was fun too. Several people got to drive the boat. Only thing making this 4 stars instead of 5 is the price. Little more than I wanted to spend but everything is expensive these days so I get it. I would recommend if you want a break from walking around the city and want to sit for a while and enjoy the sights.

The weather was awful, cold, wind and rain. But we had an amazing tour guide who saved our day. Her name was Paprika and she was so much fun. We enjoyed the drive around Boston and river sailing. I would bring more of my friends and guests to this tour.

Growing up in the Boston area, I never really considered doing one of the quacky tours but coming back to visit with my young kids and looking for an adventure before our appointment we figured…why not… just amazing! First, our Duckrator Ripple Stillwater was an absolute gem, his jokes were really funny and the knowledge of Boston was impressive. I knew some things, but I learned a lot more… then the Duck we were on was the coolest ride in town… let’s drive on the street and then go for a boat ride without getting out of the vehicle!! That’s cool. Veteran supported, history made and fun times had by all including being on the Charles river and seeing things never seen before. Recommended highly by a former Bostonian and would do it again!!

Boston Duck Tour is an entertaining experience both for adults and children to enjoy and learn the history of the Boston / US Revolution. The duck travels on road as well as Charles River waters, while professional guide narrate valuable history tales when passing the iconic buildings or places.Kids enjoy the scenes around on surface or water.This also gives opportunity to see the Cambridge buildings, including MIT/ Harvard Business School, apart from Boston University on Boston side. We visited in October 2020 with family and enjoyed. Ground staff needs training, and their contact telephone needs to be attentive all the time.

It was pretty cool seeing the boat transition from a bus to a boat, but it was a long wait, it probably took 30 minutes of waiting for the bus to come, then getting on and off the bus was awkward.

Very interesting tour around Boston. The person told us the main events in history. Good trip through land and water. it was very engaging and worth for the money. We could drive the duck. I would definitely recommend it to everybody.

This is my second time taking this tour. I brought my kids to enjoy this tour and learn some history. They asked a lot of questions after the tour. They were able to sit in the Captain's chair for a photo. It's always great to relax and listen to the guide talk about the town.
