#16 Duck Tour


Boston Duck Tours

Leaving From the Prudential Center

Cost: Adult: $31.00
Student: $27.00
Children $21.00

Travel Time: From NEU 5 min MBTA Green line to the Prudential Stop.

Tour Time: Approximately 1hr and 30min. They depart every half an hour from 9am to 7pm.

So this is actually my second Boston Duck Tour, my first was when I was 13 and at travel camp. But even this most recent one was quite some time ago.

I took this Duck Tour, on Longfellow Bridget about 3 years ago, when my whole family came up to visit me for the first time. It was actually during the last weekend of October, so it was still nice, but getting chilly (please note the winter jackets
in use in the photo, woohoo fall in boston). I have to say my Grandma was really excited by the idea of this tour. Side Note: I just recently learned that the Longfellow
Bridge is the bridge that the MBTA Red line cross to get into Cambridge, im sure that our ConDUCKtour told us all about it, but not the point.

These tours are really informative, and employe a cast full of characters to be your ConDUCKtours, for the hour and half your are in their company. Each ConDUCKtour has their own persona, and you can check them out on the Duck Tour website. This tour takes you all throughout Boston to every nook and cranny that has any significance or popularity, just a few main sights include Quincy Market and Newbury Street. But the best thing, is when this on road vehicle turns into a BOAT! Usually the drivers will select a few lucky tourists to drive while the boat is in the water. These tours are fun, funny, and informative, and maybe a tad long, but if you have the chance the Boston Duck Tours are a must!
