I was very sceptical about going on this tour but I am so glad that I did. We were welcomed aboard this amphibious vessel by Captain Beau Delicious, jolly is an understatement. We started our tour going round Seattle and his commentary was very good. We then went sailing on Lake Union where he 'sailed' us around and again pointed... More

We just got back from Seattle and wanted to do something fun and silly there. So, we rode the Duck! Our guide, Clem Chowder, had us laughing and singing in between his spiel about the city. We were all over including a ride on/in the lake. Great value for the money as well as totally informative about Seattle!

My mom who is 77 loved this tour! The driver put a lot of effort into it and really made it fun. We recommend this, it's a fun way to see some of the sights of Seattle.

I had expected a whole lot of fun and was looking forward to seeing Seattle from a different perspective but I was disappointed on both counts. The captain was not enthusiastic and did not engage with the passengers even though he obviously had a lot of information to share. Fun was not to be had; jokes fell flat, he did... More

Oh no! That doesn't sound like a Seattle Duck Tour! We'd love to be able to follow up with the Captain directly. We o share all feedback with our Captains directly and we appreciate you taking the time to write a review, even if you didn't have a great time! If you have time, we'd appreciate you letting us know... More

This is probably one of the best things to do while sight seeing Seattle. It is so much fun and you learn a lot about Seattle while having so much fun! The captains are hilarious and fun and you can capture great photos of Seattle. A must do!

I was so excited to take my kids out on a Duck Tour! We set off and were very entertained by our cool driver. We sang songs, waved to complete strangers and learned a lot about different places around town. Everything was great up until we got to the water part. We were unable to take the Duck into Lake...

Thanks so much for your patience with us on your first tour! Safety is our number one priority, so when there is lightning near the lake we stay away. Glad you had fun with TWO Captains! :) More

We had only a day and a half in Seattle and I wasn't sure if we would take the Duck Tour because of the time, but we are so glad we did. Besides telling you how entertaining it was, I want to be sure to point out we really did see a lot of Seattle and it was very informative.... More

This one came recommended by some friends. Fun tour with humor instead of long tiresome talks. Kids loved it, and so did we. Land and sea tour. Awesome!

This was one of my favorite things we did when we visited Seattle. This was just out and out fun and a good way to see Seattle as a tourist. We got to see some great things about the city, learned some history and got the info on other things to see while there. Our tour guide was a blast.... More

I can honestly say I wasn't real sure what to expect when I climbed into the large duck boat/truck, but after being on it for about 2 minutes, I knew we were in for some fun. The driver was hysterical as he had special hats he'd wear to fit the occasion of whatever he was talking about, he'd play fun... More

Ah yes, when you climb on board a Duck, you might be thinking, "What is this?" but we agree - after 2 minutes, you know you're in for some fun! Thanks for sharing your experience! We shared it on our Facebook page! More
