Is Boston Duck Tour worth it in a day?

DependsIn a day

Boston Duck Tour is a real time commitment — fit it in only if it's a priority.

Allow 80 min.

A genuinely fun, low-effort overview for first-timers and kids — corny 'ConDUCKtor' jokes, the splashdown into the river, and a quick hit of every major sight from a seat. The catch: it's touristy and quacky to the point of embarrassment for some, pricey, and you see everything but stop nowhere.
