Duck Tours

 

DUCK tours

 

VO

You can get a birds eye view of London from the top of an open bus, or take in the sights while lazing on the river.. But if you want to combine both without leaving the comfort of your seat, you need these guys…! The tour offers a unique view of London, from a unique mode of transport.

 

INTV

What we are in is one of the original ducks that were used in the D Day landings. On the first onslaught of our troops going ashore, when they were advancing then the DUCKS got the goods ashore and supplied them, so they’re great little ladies.

 

VO

But is this Duck a bus or a boat?

 

INTV

We call it a boat, it’s amphibious

 

VO

So on this bus, cum boat, cum duck, you get to see all the sights of London you would expect from the road before entering the Thames with a splash!

 

INTV

This introduces people – everyone who comes on board – to their river. The Thames is their river. We launch from the MI6 Building – the same as James Bond, and then we come onto the river at Lambeth Reach and continue through, Palace of Westminster, we’ve got the wheel then back round to Westminster and then we see the Tate, the old Tate and then back to Vauxhall.

 

V/O

Well, it’s a great way to show London off to any visiting friends, but how much does it really appeal to Londoners themselves?

 

VOX

Enormously because it was both historical and entertaining, one of the best rips I’ve been on in my 40 years in London.

 

VOX 2

You’ve been here 50 years.

Let’s not argue about the length of time I’ve been here…
