London Ducktours - Sightseeing with a Difference

I was probably more excited than my 4-year old niece when planning our trip on the London Ducktours this summer! I had been on something similar in Ottawa, Canada, a few years before and thoroughly enjoyed the blend between river and road sightseeing. The interesting fact is that the ‘Ducks’ used to be WW2 armoured vehicles, which have now been painted a bright duck-yellow and seat about 30 people. However, my niece seemed to be convinced that this ‘duck’ would be going ‘quack, quack’ in the river and ‘beep, beep’ on the road - maybe her parents promised her a bit too much! But she soon forgot all about it when the vehicle plunged, much faster and more dramatically than even I had imagined, into the Thames.

The short trip up and down the Thames, like the rest of the tour, gives visitors a really good insight into the most important landmarks in London, and the trained guide on that day also mixed facts with a great sense of British humour! Although there were babies and other younger children on the Ducktours, it’s probably better to take children who are able to absorb some of the history of London and can sit still for at least an hour. All in all though, it was a great afternoon out which I would recommend to anyone who wants to see London from a different angle.

The fun begins as soon as you board your “DUCK,” an authentic World War II amphibious landing vehicle, renovated for sightseeing.The name Duck Tours is drawn from the vehicles. Making full use of these mighty vehicles, you get an entertaining, action packed guided tour of Westminster
Grand Canyon tours

A great idea and I believe that you can also do one of these tours in Dublin, Ireland. Fantastic fun - I hadn’t actually seen that there was one in London.
