London Ducktours

This was great and a unique experience. To the people who wrote some negative reviews...stay home ! The tour was very informative, and well hosted, by a very nice guide who kept the tour popping with historic information, show business references. There was a protest on the tour route, so we took some different roads and saw even more than we expected. The wildest moment is when the truck plops down into the Thames like a log flume ride, great fun, and we saw London from a duck's perspective. The vehicle itself is historically interesting, and from WW2. It was even featured in. The only part of the tour that was less than sterling was the traffic, but hey, it's London, bot Cardiff or Boise! Go and have a great time.

Just been on the Tour today. Arrived early so the guy suggested we go on the earlier tour which was helpful. Don't bring your luggage as it is an open sided vehicle and wrap up warm in winter. Good tour by road first. You are quite high up so you see over the traffic. Never done a London bus tour before so I have nothing to compare it to but I enjoyed it as did the kids. Best bit was going into the river. Unusual and exciting. London has plenty of things that need to be seen from the river. The guide was funny and informative. He could be seen as rude in a couple of things he said to a couple of people but you would have to be very sensitive to take offense.

This was recommended to us by friends and we would pass on that recommendation

Like many other reviewers on here I too think this tour is overpriced for what it is. We paid L38 for two adults and the tour was not 75 minutes as advertised but only 55 minutes. (No explanation or part-refund was offered!)

The tour just drives around in the traffic for a bit then goes into the water for ten minutes then out again and round the streets a bit then ends. Big deal! It does not stop anywhere so you only dash past the "sights" anyway.

Everyone is packed in very tightly. There is no space whatsoever for luggage or bags of any kind.

The only saving grace was the guide, whose patter was hilarious; though it did irritate me that she expected us to applaud the driver (why?--- we don't applaud bus/train/tube drivers just for doing their jobs!) and hinted that we should leave a tip, which, considering we'd paid nearly 40 quid for less than an hour was a damned cheek!

I recommend that you give this one a miss. It's just a tourist-trap run by staff who cannot even be bothered to do the full 75 minutes.

Get a London Transport all day ticket and a Thames Clipper all day ticket and you can get on and off Tubes, buses, trains and boats from dawn till midnight for exactly the same price.h
