Reviews

This tour was good, but we enjoyed our Boston Duck Tour better.

Carol Ann M., United States, 11-2009

I've lived in Philadelphia for 17 years, and this was a good tour to begin exploring the historic facts of this city. I will however book another tour to learn more in detail about the history here. It was a great start, and the ride in the Delaware river was a great touch!

Maria Celina P., United States, 10-2009

Be ready to have a good time and learn things about the city you never knew before.

Cynthia P., United States, 10-2009

The tour guide was well versed about all sites. His humor entertained everyone.

DOLORES F., United States, 10-2009

Tour guide "Betsy Ross" was great entertainment.

Dawn L., United States, 09-2009

Our tour guide was great.

Michelle M., United States, 09-2009

This was a good overview of Philly. It took you through the different neighborhoods and gave some historical background. I saw some streets I'd like to explore.

Barbara S., United States, 09-2009

Much humor provided during historic highlights

Walter E., United States, 09-2009

craig c., United States, 08-2009

Fun trip - tour the city and then enter the Delaware River for further tour

Doris P., United States, 08-2009

Much more fun than the horsedrawn carriage. Morris, our guide, was terrific. I've already recommended the tour to friends and would do it again when we have other visitors.

diane d., United States, 08-2009

Our tour guide was fun and well informed.

Carol S., United States, 08-2009

Great way to get a sense of Historic district. Guides are friendly and knowledgable.

Randy E., United States, 08-2009

Great historical outline on the beginning of the US and the role Philadelphia played in it founding. Also a glimpse into Philadelphia life today. Great fun ride especially into the Delaware River again focusing on Philly past and present.

Donna W., United States, 07-2009

It is a lot of fun with some interesting historical tidbits for the adults.

Barbara L., United States, 07-2009

Tour was excellent and the Captain was able to reach across generational gaps to provide a good humored tour. He was very well-versed in Philly history. I loved when he had the whole bus participate with their quackers by playing the Chicken Dance.

Curtis N., United States, 07-2009

Informative, enjoyable.

Suzanne M., United States, 07-2009

Mary C., United States, 07-2009

Ride the Ducks was a lot of fun and I would highly recommend it to others! We are plan on doing it again!!!

Jennifer I., United States, 07-2009

We saw most of the important highlights of Philadelphia history. More time could have been spent on the water. Most of the guides jokes were too sophisticated or topical for the children on board. I don't think they were listening anyhow.

Evelyn K., United States, 07-2009

Informative and frequently amusing commentary. Good tour of major sites.

Wayne D., United States, 07-2009

We were a group of six and we had all had such a great time. BETSY ROSS our tour guide was so much fun and definitely knowledgable of all the sites she toured us through. We had fun from start to finish. AMAZING!!! would go back for sure and have already recommended it. GO BETSY ROSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

JESSICA U., United States, 04-2009

Denise T., United States, 09-2008

The tour was fun and informative.

karen s., United States, 08-2008

Very fun and the kids enjoyed it :) Wish we could have blown the duck horns more...they wouldn't let us for most of the trip.

Katherine G., United States, 08-2008

Everything was very easy to book on line. Once we got to the tour, everything ran smoothly too. All 4 of us had a wonderful time.

Kathy R., United States, 08-2008

Fun tour.

Amy B., United States, 08-2008

Highly recommend this tour. Our guide (local guy who used to live in the Marina) was fabulous, the music was just right and we mostly participated. I would recommend this tour...even to local Philiadelphians. I learned a new song..."We Fell In Love On The Way To Cape May." Now we're going to Cape May...Could I find love there. LOL

Rebecca F., United States, 08-2008

We took a duck tour in Washington and Boston and the guides dress up in costumes. I believe there was a driver and a guide. It was a little more lively with two people. The sound system did not work well and it was hard to hear. It was ok

Loren P., United States, 08-2008

took 2 5 year olds on philly duck tour and had a great time. guide was funny and informative.

jack m., United States, 07-2008

Already recommended the tour to several people. It is easy to get to and you really don't need to book in advance as there are so many opportunities to do so right there.

Cathy J., United States, 07-2008

This is a great tour. The guide wasn't our best but he was good.

Kathie R., United States, 07-2008

Great tour, very unique and informative!

HELEN A., United States, 07-2008

Overall a nice experience for my family My 5 year old daughter especially enjoyed it.

Patrick C., United States, 07-2008

Our tour guide did not have his license to operator the Duck in the water; consequently we had to wait for a pilot to come aboard to take us in the water. There was a camp group aboard who was not supervised properly and the Guide was not able to notice the "hands out the window, grabbing tree branches" etc. Perhaps camp groups should not be co-mingled with families.

linda e., United States, 06-2008

Our family had a great time riding the ducks in Philly. Our driver/tour guide was terrific.

Heidi H., United States, 06-2008

It was a fun acitivity for us and our 4 kids. We all enjoyed the ride and our guide made it very enjoyable. His name was Dale (not sure).

Christine P., United States, 05-2008

Wonderful tour

Gwendolyn K., United States, 05-2008

Wonderful tour. But website should explain about difference between open ticket and there should be a way to buy a ticket for a specific time.

Dorothy F., United States, 04-2008

The tour was fun for children and adults. Our tour guide was friendly and entertaining and the quackers added to the fun.

Lynda H., United States, 04-2008

Very pleasant and informative - very useful in narrowing our choices of what sites we would visit in our limited time.

Stephen D., United States, 11-2007

we had a great time. the kids enjoyed it as well as the adults.

jennifer b., United States, 08-2007

this was a lot of fun for the entire family the kids had a blast

Theodora S., United States, 08-2007

The experience was wonderful. I took my niece as a birthday present. It was a wonderful experience for the kids. It was a way for them to experience some history, while at the same time have some fun. They even let my niece come up front and we all sang Happy Birthday. I video taped it and gave her the DVD of it as a birthday present.
