London Ducktours

London Ducktours offer more than just a sightseeing tour; it's an exciting road and river adventure appealing to visitors of all ages! The amphibious craft, originally known as 'DUKWS', were first used for the D-Day landings when more than 21,000 were built to take the troops ashore.

To reflect their amphibious nature they have been renamed 'Ducks' for the London adventure. Departing from Chicheley St. Waterloo (behind the London Eye), the amphibious vehicles drive past famous London landmarks such as Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Trafalgar Square before a dramatic launch into the River Thames from London Ducktours own slipway at Vauxhall for the waterborne 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 tour guides providing an alternative view of London's history, plus fascinating facts and figures about the DUKW vehicles themselves. Today's vehicles bear little resemblance to their military predecessors in their eye catching yellow livery.
