 Boston Duck Tours

Mention the Duck Tours to just about anyone and a smile perks up on their face. Why? It just does. During World War II these amphibious jeeps were used to maneuver across the land and plunge into the water when needed. (Quite a handy feature when you're fighting a war by land and by sea.) Cruise pass a plethora of historic sights as the tour guide reveals blurbs of history and intriguing fun facts. Perhaps one of the most fascinating sights you're bound to experience, are the people who flap their arms and quack like a duck as you pass by.
 Freedom Trail Walking Tour
This incredible Boston tour leads you through a historical trail dating back to the American Revolution. Merely follow the red brick path and you're on your way. The journey begins at the Boston Commons, and wanders downtown past a barrage of buildings, then meanders through the North End and finally concludes at the Bunker Hill Monument. Whether you're a history buff, a visiting wanderer, a family of four or a couple merely strolling by - this trail is a memorable one!
