Boston Duck Tours
Since my wife and I and another couple are going to Boston to run the marathon in April, we thought we'd find something interesting to do there. We found this - http://www.bostonducktours.com - has anyone done this?

Seems like it would pretty cool! :bravo: They apparently have legendary conDUCKtors there... :rotflmao:

Anything else you guys know we should do in Boston?

The duck tours is cool definately do that. You can walk quite a bit in that town that's was the cool thing about Boston. You've got the metro too though. Go eat some New England clam chowder at Ye Ole Oyster House and you definately have to have a drink at one of the many Irish pubs there. Boston was one of my favorite places to visit.

The Boston Duck Tour is a MUST.
A visit to Faneuil Hall is a MUST.

There is so much to do in Boston... it just depends on what you are into. Do you want to do shopping? View historical sites? Dine? Attend a sporting event?

Shopping - yes.
Historical sites - yes.
Dine - yes.
Sporting events - probably not. The marathon will be enough! :D

I'd suggest wearing Yankees paraphernalia and yelling "The Red Sox suck!" at random intervals. You might want to check up on your life insurance too.

I went on the Duck tour with my son's 4th grade class, and it was great. Highly recommended. :AOK:

This, on the other hand, is NOT recommended. :eek:

Check Pollstar (http://pollstar.com/tour/searchall.pl?Content=C-MA_Boston&By=City&PSKey=Y&StartSearch.x=16&StartSearch.y=14) often. You'll probably be in town when someone really good is playing.

Robin Trower the 22nd of March at Berklee. Think you might want to leave early to train there?;)

Robert, you must get a warm feeling inside knowing that the members here take such an interest in making sure you have a vacation you won't forget.

I would like to get in on your life insurance policy.

The Duck Tours?!? Really?!? You can walk all over Boston & back & forth across the Charles.

My wife took pictures of the ducks every chance she got because someone said she *had* to go on the ducks. She was gonna paste our faces over the tourists.

Shows what I know.
