Great overview of Boston. This was our first time to Boston and we took this tour on the last day. We enjoyed the area where we joined the tour. It was a nice little tour around Boston and I to the Charles river. Great overview of some of Bostons history. Our tour guide was hilarious

This is a landmark of tourism in Boston, and if you visit the city, be sure to take a boat ride to enjoy the landscape of the skyline and the river views. The tour guide provides excellent narration of Boston’s history, from the past to the present.

First time visiting Boston! We took the Duck tour! Lots of fun history and sites. It did feel a bit drawn out and lackluster. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed it. Would I recommend it? Definitely!

We had a fantastic ConDUCKtor (Peprika Double Q) and can't forget the driver Miss Debbie! The tour was full of humor and lots of interesting facts about the different landmarks we saw. We did the tour starting at the Prudential Center, but note...
