London Duck Tour : A Must Do in London

London Duck Tour! Yes! What could be more fun for your kids then to tour London on a duck shaped bus that also is a boat!  Yes visit the London Duck Tour!

This amphibious vehicle will first show you the sights of London on land and then drive into the water and show you some more sights along the river!  

We had a great time on this fun unique tour of London!

This London tour combines sightseeing from both the water and land as well as providing a thrilling experience in this unique vehicle. All the vehicles used by the tour company were used in the D-Day landings of World War II in 1944.

The vehicles meet safety regulations for both the water and land and they can each seat 30 passengers. The amphibious machine is a really quirky and fun way to keep all the family interested while seeing the sites of London.

All the tours are guided by an entertaining knowledgeable guide who can tell you all about the sites and the history of the city as well as the history of the vehicles themselves. The company has a number of themed tours.
