London Ducktours

We booked months in advance and should have been highlight of trip before returning to Cardiff. We were booked on the 11 o'clock trip. We arrived well in advance as required. The two duck tour employees were rude and unhelpful and told us we had to wait as they were running late. We waited for almost an hour and throughout this period we were told that the bus would be arriving soon. At 11.30 as the bus arrived we were told that our bus had been cancelled and a private group got on the bus instead. My children were in tears as we were so looking forward to the trip. Also because they made us wait so long before telling us we were unable to find an alternative.

I have never been treated so appallingly by a company before. The impression that they gave was that we were lucky to get a refund. I would not recommend that you use this company.

The Duck Tour was a novel and fun way to see London from an old amphibious landing craft from WW2 and was worth the cost. Quirky way to see the capital very good tour guide and injected fun into the tour.

If you want to do something touristy, but different, then the Duck tour should be your choice. Other reviews might be unappreciative for the quirky comical commentary offered be the tour guides, but then I think this is all part of it - if you are taking a Duck tour you really should have a sense of humour to begin with.

The vessels used were original commisioned and used for DDay, only then they didn't have seats or a roof - so consider yourself lucky to be sitting down!

We went on the Duck on the worst weather day we've probably had all year, it rained all the time, we still however enjoyed the whole experience enormously.

After being shown around Westminter, Trafalgar Square and the rear of Buckingham Palace, you are launced into the Thames by the side of MI5; not for the feignt hearted! Once you get over the fact that 30 seconds ago the vessell in which you are sitting was driving along the road you start to enjoy the experience.

The Thames element of the tour isn't long, but it's sufficient to get an idea of the experience.

Go on - give it a try!
