West Palm Beach Duck Tour

Informative and intresting event of the local west palm area. Tour guide was fun and enthusiatic. Would recommend it.

It was hot as heck, and I'm a local, but even with all that, we all enjoyed the experience. It's a decent way to spend some time with the kids.

The diva duck tour of West palm was a lot of fun. Although we have lived in West Palm (part time) for some time, this was a fun event for visiting friends over the holidays. The guide was well informed and the tour was interesting.

My family comes in for 2 weeks at Thanksgiving every year. One of our annual day trips is to WPB to ride Diva Duck. Compared to previous years, the hostess this year provided a lot more fun facts about the area and tossed in a bunch of "fowl" jokes. This year, the trip was expanded and we went over the bridge to Palm Beach. We always have a lot of fun and highly recommend it to others.

As a local resident, I am very familiar with local history, but my group, a family visiting from out of town, was not. I am sad to say that all of us found the tour very tedious, with no real information of interest provided. Several of my guests actually fell asleep. The Duck went North, out of Carver Park, not South, where most of the interesting Palm Beach homes, and history lie. The crew pointed out several homes (i.e. there's Celine Dion's mothers house) owned by various "captains of industry," and entertainers, but no real history of Palm Beach was provided to flesh out the tour - and there is so much (scandals - local lore). The Biltmore and Breakers were pointed out, but Whitehall was not. As we did not go South, no one got to see Mar a Lago, owned by Donald Trump, nor any of the homes designed by Addision Mizner. There was nothing said about architecture and almost nothing said about Henry Flagler. The Kennedy's and Worth Avenue were mentioned in passing. The crew did not provide any information about additional attractions in our area (the Norton, Kravitz Center, Whitehall, Bethesda by the Sea, Society of the Four Arts, The Zoo & Science Center, Antique Row in West Palm Beach, etc.) which is something you would expect a tour to provide - and no information was given about CityPlace except to say that there were shops and places to eat there. Had your guide suggested several restaurants, we probably would have visited one of them, as we ended our tour at 12:15 PM, and wanted to have lunch. Information would have been appreciated. It has been several years since I visited CityPlace and I had no idea where to go, or what was good. If I were visiting from out of town, and had no knowledge of the area, I would leave the Duck, wondering why people felt compelled to visit Palm Beach County. At the end of the day, for $25 a head, I expected more than a "phoned in" experience. I found the tour to have a lot of down time where the guide played music (Margaritaville) instead of providing interesting information. I suggest that you hire older guides who have a more thorough knowledge of Palm Beach and West Palm Beach, and who are familiar and excited about the location and it's history. Your tour definitely needs "fleshing out." The girl who was our guide was very young, and probably can't get into, or afford to go to many of the local attractions, restaurants, and nightspots that many of those who took the tour would find exciting. Also please reduce the number of lame "duck" jokes and attempts to foment false excitement. It is hard to become excited when the vehicle upon which you are traveling moves so slowly that kayakers are able to overtake it in the water. I would much rather hear about local history, and about things to do and see, than to be engaged in a "Village People, YMCA" sing along. And for goodness sake, please travel South!

We really enjoyed the entire tour. The land tour included information about the history of West Palm and Palm Beach. On the water tour, we learned interesting facts about some of the beautiful homes and other sites in Lake Worth. We are always looking for fun things to do with our visitors. We put this tour high on the list of things to do. And, as a result of this tour, we will definitely take the tour of Peanut Island. The length of the tour was perfect and the commentary was just right. It was a wonderful hour and fifteen minutes!!

We enjoyed the trip. Just long enough.

We enjoyed the trip. The guide was fun - full of information. Would recommend to anyone.

I felt that the Duck Tour was nice, however, it didn't offer much.. It has nothing to do with the driver and/or the speaker on the tour.. It has to do with what was offered and I felt it didn't offer much.. To go on a tour just to be in the water and see some homes was very unfulfilling. It was not educational at all (which I thought it would be). When I was on the tour in Boston it was fabulous. There were so many things that were pointed out to my husband and myself and I felt I came away with some good information. The only thing that was "cute" was the fact that the boat was in and out of the water. That could have lasted 10 minutes and that would have been enough. I thought my grandchildren would gain more from this trip and because they didn't I also felt it was too much money for what was given. I hope you don't mind my speaking honestly to you.. It was too boring for the children and I would not recommend it for my friends to take their grandchildren on it either.

I wish the tour had covered a larger area..I thought we would pass Mara Lago..also, on the Duck, a description of Worth Ave was given, but when we actually drove over to PB, we were told it was 2 blocks over from the street we turned on. It was ok, but I won't do it again with other visitors.
