Description

World War II-era land-sea vehicles (code named DUKW, hence the name) are used to haul riders around some of Boston's most famous sights in this tour. The vehicles operate like buses on the streets, and then raise their wheels and float through the Charles River! It's wild stuff, especially popular with kids. The fleet of Ducks are driven by very animated "conDUCKtors," who orient you to the history and culture of this most American of places. You're advised to buy tickets in advance, either at one of the kiosks near Fanueil Hall, Prudential Center, or the Museum of Science, or online via the Web site. Highly entertaining, informative tour.
