If you're in Boston, you don't want to miss out on doing a Boston duck tour! I had no idea this was even a thing until I saw it in person. We were walking past the science museum (apparently one of the boarding stops) and kept seeing people get on what looked like a bus that was a boat. Needless to say, I was intrigued and Googled the day away. As a result, I was dying to get on the duck tour. We tried one of the days, but they were sold out. Fortunately we were able to book online for our last day there and what a blast it was. Mike was our driver and Ernie was our narrator. The time on tour, in the city and on the water alike, flew by. I learned so much about Boston, and more so, I really enjoyed how family friendly they are, even though I admittedly do not have kids. They let both kids and adults alike take photos driving the duck. It's kitschy but so cute. Worth doing certainly!

What a great way to get to know the city of Boston. Which is a city with so much history, so I honestly would recommend this if you are in Boston! They have multiple starting locations, but they all include both a land and water portion, and if you can get the latest ride (which is what we did) during winter, you might be able to get a sunset on water. Not to mention they let people get the chance to drive the boat, starting with kids first! Our tour guide was a marathon runner, native to Boston so we got plenty of stories along with the normal tour guide info. So much fun!

When in Boston, why not check this out... I really enjoyed visiting Boston and taking a part of this tour. It's both land and water and you got to enjoy both. I really recommend this if you have the time to try it out while you're visiting the city.

Yes, yes, yes! I do recommend this business! Boston Duck Tours has been around for a looonnnnnng time and they have mastered the city tour! We had Mr. Ben Everywhere for our guide and he was terrific. He was so funny and engaging and his tour was perfectly choreographed with our driver's stops and drive-bys. Thank you Ben. Your tour was the highlight of our trip to Boston. Boston is very dense and has horrible roads and once we saw the historical landmarks we were ready to get the heck out of there. I recommend walking the freedom trail and taking the duck tour and being done in one day. Boston is a Tough City for tourists.

Captain Ben was fantastic.

I went on a Duck Tour 12 years ago and it was great HOWEVER...We went on another one yesterday at 2:30 and it was terrible!!! I guess it all depends on who your tour guide is. Too bad. Magdalena Brito April 28, 2024

This tour was on my to do list and each time I visited Boston, I wasn't able to schedule. Finally, I did, it is an absolute must do. The tour guide was a lot of fun, he gave us the rich history of a few important places in Boston, we drove around the city and the truck turns into a boat as we went inside a river, this truck was used in WW II. One of the most fun part was that while on the boat, we are invited to Drive the boat!!! That was absolutely fun. My mother loved it too.

Thanks Aura, We are glad you finally made it! And, thanks for the recommendation. We must be doing something right as this is our 30th year driving guests around the city. I hope we see you again.

Entertaining tour which provided a lot of Boston history and trivia. The family enjoyed sightseeing on the road as well as the novelty of going into the river. Would recommend at least once for every Boston visitor.

This was such a fun experience! Rolling through the streets of Boston & then sailing down the Charles River! The guide did a good job of pointing out points of interest & buildings. Went with my family including 2 boys who also seemed to have a good time.

Photo of Casey A.

The duck tour is such an iconic tourist activity, even as someone who lives in Boston. It's a fun family activity and great to take visitors to see the city. The tour guides are funny and so knowledgeable, and really interact with everyone on the tour. It was great for kids, who get to take turns steering the boat in the Charles River. Really great views of the city in the water too. The only thing keeping this from five stars is the cost. It's a little high (expected when geared to tourists) but still fun!

parking for boston duck tours

I was in Boston for work and we had a duck tour as a team event. I'm glad we did as our guide was really friendly and had a ton of cool knowledge. It is always cool going from land to water in the same vehicle. I'll definitely do it again when I'm in town.

Travel Tips for Boston Duck Tours

When to go, how to save on Boston's must-do sightseeing tour

parking for boston duck tours

TripSavvy / Violet Smirnova

More often than not, when family or out-of-town guests visit Boston , they all have the same to-do item on their list: a Duck Tour. And the request ranges across all ages – Baby Boomer relatives, friends who are busy executives, artsy friends, friends who are parents to kids of all ages. While this is an activity that many locals don't even experience until they have a friend or relative visiting from out of town, it's one you won't want to miss as a tourist.

Duck Tours are a unique experience that combines sightseeing and history while also getting to go out on the Charles River in the vehicle you just drove around the city in. If you want to see Boston via a Duck Boat , late-spring through early-fall is the perfect time to do so. They run from late March through late November, though peak season for all things related to tourism in the city is certainly during the summer months when the weather is nice and warm. Before you book your spot, follow these tips for making the most of your Boston Duck Tour.

Where to Pick Up

You've no doubt seen the Duck Boats' ubiquitous amphibious vehicles all around Boston, but there are only three places where you can pick them up for a tour: the Museum of Science , the New England Aquarium , and the Prudential Center . Choose the one that's most convenient for your own home base and/or sightseeing itinerary; all are near major tourist attractions, MBTA stations and dining.

How to Save

Are your fellow Duck Boat riders a bunch of early risers? If so, make an online reservation for the 9 or 9:30 a.m. tours from either the Museum of Science or Prudential stops and get an Early Duck discount. (Remember that online-only stipulation: If you show up in person to buy tickets for the early tours, you won't get the discount.) It's also worth noting that only a portion of tickets are released online, so it's still worth checking one of the ticket booths if tickets for the date you want to go are sold out online.

There's also the Ride & Save program for those also planning to visit the Museum of Science and New England Aquarium: Show your Duck Boats ticket and get discounts off the museums' admission, café, gift shop, and theaters. You can also get a free tour of Harvard Square with your Duck Boats ticket, plus numerous discounts at the Prudential Center and other Boston restaurants and gift shops. So save that ticket stub and put it to work – you can save quite a lot!

How to Dress

Duck Boats tour in rain or shine, and they do drive in to the river (although, truth be told, the splash is pretty minimal). Wear layers – it can be breezy out on the water, and if it's rainy, a light raincoat is always a good idea. The Duck Boats are heated and have weather protection, but it's not quite like being enclosed within a typical car or truck, so plan accordingly.

What You'll See

Once on board, the tour is about 80 minutes and guests stay on board the entire duration. Approximately 20 minutes of that is spent on the water, with an hour on land taking in many of Boston's historic landmarks and neighborhoods. What you see will depend on where you pick up your Duck Boat, but popular sites include the Boston Public Garden , Boston Common , Boston Public Library, Newbury Street, Quincy Market and the TD Garden . It's destinations like these that make Boston the great city it is.
