Boston Duck Tours

617-450-0068

Included admission free with the card.

Description

You've got to love a tour guide who encourages you to quack at passers byers. The Boston Duck Tours combine high-energy fun with a unique perspective on all the history that makes Boston a great town. During the 80-minute tour, see the gold-domed State House, Newbury Street, and much more. Then, just when you think you've seen it all, the World War II style landing craft you've been riding in takes you to the edge of the Charles River... and drives right in! Your tour bus becomes a tour boat, and you get a duck's-eye view of Boston and Cambridge from the water.

Tip: We strongly advise you to make advance reservations when possible. The Boston Duck Tour is a very popular activity that often sells out in advance, especially during the summer season. Making an advance reservation for $3 per person is the only way to guarantee that you will get a seat. Duck Tours accepts reservations up to 30 days prior to your tour. Go Boston Card holders receive a discount on the advance reservation fee (normally $3.50). We encourage you to take advantage of this offer so that you can be assured of your seat on the Duck! However, if you choose to chance same-day walk-up availability, we advise you to show up as early in the day as possible before any remaining tickets sell out.
