Duck Tours in Boston - any opinions?

[NewJeffCT]

We may be going up to Boston the weekend after next - myself, my wife & another couple with our 2 young babies - both around 2 years old.

While I'm sure we'll have lunch or dinner in the Chinatown section, I was thinking of going on one of those Duck Tours. Has anybody been on them? Are they fun? Can little kids come along?

Thanks

1. If they are the same as the Duck tours in Wisconsin Dells they're a blast.

Is it an amphibious vehicle, made for WWII that can ride on both land and lake? Kids can go along in the Dells, and it's one of the better attractions in Tourist Trap, USA. :hi:

2. Duck Tours in Boston

are a good time - and the kids will love it. Great way to see the sights, get a boat ride on the Charles, and have a good laugh at the same time!

4. yeah, it's a good way to see the city, and kids should love it

damnit... I miss Boston. I love that city.

3. People in Cleveland might have a unique perspective

They've been known to sink, fast.

5. they are expensive

I've never been on one, but then I live here and they cater to the tourists.

I've heard they are mildly fun. If the kids were older I'd say definitely go- but since they are so young it might not be a good idea.
