Departing from County Hall, our amphibious vehicles drive past famous London landmarks such as Big Ben & The House of Parliament and Trafalgar Square 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 guides providing an alternative view of London's history, plus fascinating facts and figures about the Duck vehicles themselves.
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, seating for 30 passengers, a public address system and regulatory safety equipment.
