From £18.00*Welcome to Ducktours - Home of the world famous London amphibious Tour! Offering more than just a sightseeing tour; it’s an exciting road and river adventure appealing to visitors of all ages! PLEASE NOTE Once you have purchased tickets from us, you will need to call 020 7928 3132 to reserve a tour-time. Tours are daily from 10am to 6pm June-September; 11am-Dusk November-May (weekends and school holiday periods start at 10am). Departing from Chicheley Street, behind County Hall, our amphibious vehicles drive past famous London landmarks such as Big Ben and The House of Parliament, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus before a dramatic launch into the Thames from our slipway at Vauxhall for the water borne part of the 70 minute tour. The excitement of seeing the capital in this novel way is enhanced by an entertaining, action packed commentary by our character guides providing an alternative view of London’s history, plus fascinating facts and figures about the Duck vehicles themselves. 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. Ready for action. Today’s vehicles bear little resemblance to their military predecessors in their eye catching yellow livery. An initial fleet of five vehicles have been totally rebuilt to meet the stringent safety regulations set by the D.E.T.R. and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (M.C.A). The vehicles have been extensively refurbished and fitted with the latest environnmentally friendly diesel engines. The deluxe refits includes comfortable seating for 30 passengers, a public address system and full safety equipment.
