Duck Tours Picture Gallery
An incredible and
unique way to see the sites of London.
Departing from
County Hall, the amphibious vehicles drive past famous London
landmarks such as Big Ben & The House of Parliament, Trafalgar
Square and Piccadilly Circus before a dramatic
launch into the Thames from our slipway at Vauxhall for the
water bourne 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 the character tour 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 'Frogs'
for the London adventure. 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 environmentally
friendly diesel engines. The deluxe refits includes ducted heating,
Comfortable seating for 30 passengers, a public address system
and full safety equipment.
Capital Duck Tours
have created an exciting adventure for visitors to the Capital
taking in the sights by road and river. No one has ever seen anything
