Concierge.com's insider take:
Put your skepticism aside: This tour of Boston on a WWII amphibious vehicle is actually fun and informative. The brightly colored Ducks motor around the city, then plunge into the Charles River to catch skyline views of downtown—once you're in the water, you might even get to pilot. The personable guides (sorry, "conDUCKtors") have all passed rigorous tests about city history and lore. You might learn about the chemical reaction that causes some Beacon Hill houses to have windowpanes of blueish-purple glass (and why this is desirable), and the sticky situation the city found itself in after the Molasses flood of 1919. Tickets sell out fast, so if you're intent on "ducking," reserve ahead online (up to five days in advance). Tours also depart from the Museum of Science.
March–November only, 9 a.m. until an hour before sunset.
