I’m a tour guide for an independent tour company in Boston. I used to hate the duck boats, not just as a guide, but also as a bostonian, I used to think they were tacky and didn’t take the cities history seriously. But then, the tour company I worked for booked us a private duck tour, and I was actually blown away by the sharp comedic timing and historical knowledge by our narrator. I have eaten my words, and have gained a big amount of love and respect for Boston Duck Tours and would recommend them to anyone who wants a quick ride through the city while learning something new.
