This is a very informative tour of the east end of the Branson strip and old town of Branson. Tour lasted about an hour and a half and enjoyable. Highly recommend as a first thing when going to Branson.

"Only to Kill Some Time"
TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5
Reviewed August 06, 2024
We've done many Duck Tours through the years and this one was okay. Charlie, our guide, was super nice and I enjoyed his personality. The problem here is that Branson only has one Main Street so there is just not much to see. I don’t think I recommend it unless you just need to kill some time. No reflection on the company, there simply isn’t enough of interest to share.

"A very nice duck ride!"

We’ve taken similar tours in Boston and Wisconsin Dells and had a great time. The tour didn’t offer much in the way of sights to see, but who doesn’t like to sit on a boat and enjoy themselves? Our 5-yr-old had a blast. Charlie was a great guide and made an effort to entertain everyone. The guests appreciated his suggestions of things to do and places to eat.

"Just OK if you've riden the old ducks"
TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5
Reviewed July 29, 2024
I've riden the old WWII Ducks here, twice. So even though these are different ducks, it is also a different tour. The tour guide and drivers (one land and one water) were good. The tour was a bit of a disappointment. It was a little over an hour with basically going to the landing (in the river and back) If you have never done a Duck before, you might like it. I would not do this one again.
