We took a Duck Tour from the Prudential Center which was convenient to our hotel, but there are several other departure points. We had exceptionally good weather for November. The driver was good, and the safety briefing was clear and concise. Our narrator was very knowledgeable, but his sense of humour and delivery didn't work for us. We felt he was considerably less amusing than he thinks he is. However, he did give us continuous commentary with lots of information, and called out a few photo opportunities so we could get the camera ready.

This was a fun trip. I really enjoyed getting to drive the duck boat in the Charles River. The trip is loaded with information about the history of Boston related to the early years of the USA.

This was really a great way to see the city and learn about all the history in Boston. We were a family of 4 and had my parents with us, so they couldn't do walking tours. The your guide was very informative and good to listen too and kids loved how the bus turned into a boat and went on the river. Definitely a must to do if you're visiting.
