We went on a Boston duck tour this past spring with our three year old. We enjoyed it, but I can see

Boston Duck Tours takes visitors on an 80 minute ride in a W.W. II style amphibious landing vehicle.  Although the tour provides amari airport hotel bangkok lots of insight into Boston s historic past, the concluding cruise on the Charles River is the main attraction.
We had taken a Duck Tour with our kids when they were 8 and 11 so when out of town cousins ages 8 and 10 came to visit we thought it would be a fun activity (we paid our own way).  We had a beautiful day and Boston never looked better.  The ride took us past many Boston landmarks in the old West End, Beacon Hill and the Back Bay, but, with the exception of the voyage down the river, which really was a thrill, we have to admit we were a bit disappointed.
We had remembered the tour being a laugh riot but our ConDUCKtor tour guide pretty much gave us all the facts, but not much of the extra  fun for which the Duck Tours are traditionally known.  The loading area at Boston s Museum of Science was pretty disorganized and the Duck we rode was a replica rather than an original.  It was much bigger than the one pictured above, making amari airport hotel bangkok it feel more like a bus ride than anything else.  Luckily, the day was saved when we took the plunge onto the Charles River and spent the last  20 minutes enjoying the views.  The kids got to steer and the skyline was beautiful.  We just wished that part of the trip could have lasted a lot longer.
Overall, we left with a sense that the Boston Duck Tours operation has gotten a little too big and lost some of that personal touch it used to deliver.   Having said that, our out of town visitors still thought is was fun, particularly when they got a chance to drive the Duck down the middle of the Charles River even our jaded 13 year old teen is still smiling about it.
We went on a Boston duck tour this past spring with our three year old. We enjoyed it, but I can see what you mean about the tour guide. He provided a lot of facts and not much entertainment. Our daughter enjoyed it though, although the 80-90 minute tour was a little long for her.
