Duck Tours
An exciting bus tour and fabulous river cruise all in one!These fantastic amphibious vehicles start as a bus tour and drive past famous London landmarks such as Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Trafalgar Square before a dramatic launch into the River Thames at Vauxhall for the boat tour part of the 75 minute tour of London.
The excitement of seeing London in this novel way is enhanced by an entertaining, action packed commentary by our tour guides providing an alternative view of London's history, plus fascinating facts and figures about the DUKW vehicles themselves.
The famous duck tour has created an exciting adventure for visitors to London taking in the sights by road and river. No one has ever seen anything like it before on the streets of London, let alone the river!
