This was absolutely a riot. It was so much fun. Go prepared to have a good time with great music and great jokes. Don't forget to buy your little quakers before the ride. You gotta participate to enjoy the trip a little more. They offer spectacular views and just a grand old time.

This was probably about the best thing in Seattle. 90 minute tour of Seattle and the lake by the space needle. This is probably the first thing to do and then you can decide what other attractions you want to see. Nice history, some funny jokes and the drivers really try to entertain. Maybe too hard.

We rode the Ducks as an afterthought and it was one of our highlights of a whole week in Seattle. Driven by hilarious one-of-a-kind tour guides who change into goofy hats every 5-10 minutes, we were given yellow squaking duck whistles and our bus turned boat as we drove straight into Lake Union. Well worth the money and we enjoyed... More

The WWII amphibious landing craft is a really fun way to tour the city of Seattle. Our tour took us through the Olympic Sculpture Park, the pier, Pike Place Market, the stadiums, Pioneer Square, the Freemont area, then onto Lake Union. On Lake Union we saw the Sleepless in Seattle houseboat and also docked were some of the Deadliest Catch... More

I can't say enough amazing things about this! My sister and brother-in-law were stationed outside of Seattle with the Navy and we took a tour on one of our visits to Washington. Great state all around but this tour really takes the cake! Great for if you want to cruise by all the amazing places without trying to find them... More

We had a fantastic time on this tour. We have never been to Seattle before, and I cannot imagine a better way to get a tour of the city. Our captain was incredibly funny and filled our time with great stories and tidbits. Traffic was rather bad due to construction, but our captain made it fun regardless. We went on... More

We have been on the duck boats twice. In 2012 and just this month in 2013. This time our captain was Jean Luc Millard. He was very entertaining and knew alot about Seattle. There is nothing more entertaining then watching a truck load of people quacking at pedestrians while singing, dancing, and just having a good old time. We played... More

With a name like Capt. Chips Ahoy, what kind of tour would you expect?! Goofy and fun! He was a very entertaining captain,kept the boat lively and fun - zinged the one liners fast and furious. It was a good time and a great way to see Seattle. The music was loud, the duck whistles annoying but added to the... More

Fun tour. Driver engaged the passengers and made it more fun for the kids. There are a few slow times but mostly upbeat with music and interaction. Good tour.
