Boston Duck Tours: Quack Like a Tourist, See Like a Local
So you're in Boston, the city steeped in history, chowder, and accents that make "park the car" sound like a pirate's shanty. You've probably hit the Freedom Trail and maybe even cheered on the Red Sox (or the pigeons fighting over Fenway Franks, no judgement). But what's next, my friend? Enter the Boston Duck Tours, a land and sea adventure that's more fun than a barrel of monkeys wearing backpacks.

| What Are Boston Duck Tours |
What in the World is a Duck Tour?
Picture this: a bright yellow World War II amphibious vehicle, rechristened a giant duck (because, why not?), packed with eager sightseers. Now, imagine this duck cruising through the streets of Boston, weaving past historic landmarks and trendy shops, with a hilariously informative guide (we call them ConDUCKtors, see what we did there?) quacking out interesting facts along the way. Then, with a splash, it dives into the Charles River for scenic views and a whole new perspective on the city!
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.
Why Duck Around on Land and Water?
Because, my friend, variety is the spice of life (and this tour)! You get a narrated history lesson on land, from the Freedom Trail to swanky Back Bay. Then, you hit the Charles River for a refreshing cruise, spotting sailboats, students rowing crew (because Harvard, duh), and maybe even a rogue lobster or two. It's basically two tours in one, all aboard a giant, talking duck.

Is it Fun? Duh!
Boston Duck Tours are legendary for their cheesy jokes and quirky humor. Your ConDUCKtor will have you quacking with laughter (sorry, not sorry) as they weave tales of Boston's past and present. It's a perfect activity for families, groups of friends, or anyone who wants to see the city in a fun and unique way.
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
