London Ducktours

I am thinking of taking DDs (aged 3 and 4 ) on the London Ducktour tomorrow but I can't get my computer to open the thing about the tour.

If anyone has been can they tell me where it goes from, where it goes on the tour and how long it takes.

Also would children of this age like it?

Goes from London Eye goes over to the north side, all around London upstream, then into the river downstream for ten minutes then back up and along the south side back to the London Eye. I loved it, dd (4) was very scared of being in the water, whilst ds (30 loved it. The commentary was hilarious.

Thanks for that. Either that's a typo or that's an impressive age gap between your DC!

How long did it take from start to finish?

Ha ha!!
Yes he was 3 when he went on it. DD cried through the water bit as you are very low in the water but it gives a great vantage point of london seeing it on the river.

yes, 45 min to an hour.

dd was 3.5 when I took her. She loved it and still talks about it. The commentary went totally over her head, but she enjoyed hanging out the window and loved going in the water.

There's a road that leads down the side of County Hall to the London Eye, and the bus stops there - it's fairly well signposted. I can't remember how long it takes - an hour, maybe? Not that long.

Good fun, would recommend it but very noisy when in the water, very difficult to hear any commentary

Mine were older - 5 and 10, I think. Ds would have been terrified when he was 3, but he is a notorious wimp.

Huge fun - we loved it and still talk about it. Lot of money, though!
