The app provides imagery as well as narration in languages including Spanish, German, Mandarin, French, Japanese, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean and Cantonese on all tours. Your mobile device must have its own cellular connection and you must bring your own headphones.

Accessibility: We have wheelchair accessible DUCKS from all 3 of our departure locations. If you are booking online you MUST call us and tell us you have a guest that needs to stay in their wheelchair as we need to pull 3 extra seats to fit the wheelchair in the DUCK. If booking in person ensure you tell our Guest Service Representative that you have someone in a wheelchair so we can also pull the 3 extra seats.

    Not a fan at all. Thought the ride was too long, expensive and boring AF. Would not recommend. Save your money!

  • The Great Garabaldi was the best!

    We had a lovely tour with our ConDUCKtor The Great Garabaldi and is “dad” Bill was our driver. It was very educational yet extremely entertaining. My mom said she wanted you to go again because he was so funny. Highly recommend. It was the highlight of our short stay in Boston.
