Great Tour
Great tour, very knowledgeable guide. This was my 4th one. The windows are always open (unless it's raining) so make sure you're dressed appropriately. I wasn't and I was freezing, but that was my fault.

A friend recommended me this tour and I’m so glad I went. The tour guide was different than anyone I’ve ever had. He was eccentric and funny. You won’t regret it!

Incredible First Duck Boat Experience in Boston!
This was my wife’s very first duck boat tour, and it could not have been better! Splashing into the Charles River after cruising through Boston's historic streets was such an incredible highlight. Our tour guide was fantastic—energetic, hilarious, and full of great history and insights about the city. It was an awesome way to explore Boston, and my wife absolutely loved the entire experience. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting the area!
