Duck Boat Tour Boston

Duck Boat Tour Boston

Would you prefer to drive through the centre of Boston or cruise along the Charles River? You can do both in just one mode of transport with this duck boat tour, where you'll encounter the most symbolic landmarks around the city. The earliest amphibious vehicles originated in 1770 when they were first dreamt up by Prince Raimondo di Sangro of Sansevero.

While on board the duck boat, we'll admire the most significant sites around the capital of Massachusetts such as Boston Library, Longfellow Bridge, the MIT building or the popular Theatre District.

For an hour and 20 minutes, the English speaking guide will tell you about the city's history and intriguing facts along the route. There will also be audioguides in other languages available.
