Location: London, England
Product code: 3268FROG
This is more than just a sightseeing tour! It's an exciting road and river adventure appealing to visitors of all ages!
In an amphibious vehicle you will pass famous London landmarks such as Big Ben, The House of Parliament and Trafalgar Square before a dramatic launch into the Thames from out slipway at Vauxhall for the water borne part of the 80 minute tour.
The excitement of seeing London in this novel way is enhanced by an entertaining, action packed commentary by our character guides providing an alternative view of London's history, plus fascinating facts and figures about the vehicles themselves.
Information about the vehicles:
The amphibious craft, originally known as "DUKWS" were first used for the D-Day landings when more than 21,000 were built to take the troops ashore.
Today's vehicles bear little resemblance to their military predecessors in their eye catching yellow livery. An initial fleet of five vehicles have been totally rebuilt to meet the stringent safety regulations set by the D.E.T.R. and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (M.C.A).
The vehicles have been extensively refurbished and fitted with the latest environmentally friendly diesel engines. The deluxe refits includes comfortable seating for 30 passengers, a public address system and full safety equipment.
