London Ducktours

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!

I booked the london duck tour for myself, my friend and my 4 year old son. My friend has lived in london for years, but never dared go on it without a child!!! I have to say, it was absolutely fantastic!!! our guide, Nav, was telling some well rehearsed gags that made us groan, but i have to say he made me laugh and fortunately my son didnt understand them!!! we got to know some great facts about places that we'd not have found out any other way and my son absolutely loved going down the ramp into the water and was excited and enjoyed it when he got splashed! The only thing i would say is do take a jumper as it is chilly when steaming round the streets but definately worth the money!!

My daughter, grandson and myself booked to go on the tour on Sunday 19th July. We were very disappointed, it was not until we boarded the bus that we were told that we would not be going to see the London landmarks we expected to see. Apparently there where a lot of roadworks and traffic, bearing in mind it was a Sunday. The tour guide was very, very good pointing out places of interest, he did his very best to make it interesting. We booked this tour as we thought it would be of interest to my grandson and then to go into the Thames would be an added bonus. I wanted to show my grandson where the Queen lived and the other famous landmarks, he was not interested in seeing Fleet street and where Charlie Chaplin lived these things ment nothing to him. Not a very good advert to foreigners who just wanted to see inner London. Very very disappointed not money well spent.
