tastes of Italy" and by the Improper

You've never toured Boston in anything
that comes close to Boston Duck Tours.
The fun begins as soon as you board
your "DUCK," an authentic, renovated
World War II amphibious landing vehicle.
You'll cruise by all the places that
make Boston the birthplace of freedom
and a city of firsts, from the goldendomed
State House to Bunker Hill and
the Fleet Center, Boston Common
and Copley Square to the Big Dig,
Government Center to fashionable
Newbury Street, Quincy Market to the
Prudential Tower, and more. All the
while your ConDUCKtor will be giving
you lots of little known facts and interesting
insights about our unique and
wonderful city. And just when you
think you've seen it all, there's more.
It's time for "Splashdown" as your
ConDUCKtor splashes your DUCK
right into the Charles River for a
breathtaking view of the Boston and
Cambridge skylines, the kind of view
you just won't get anywhere else.
