London Duck Tour - Amphibious Vehicle:
The amphibious craft, originally known as "DUKWS" were first used for the D-Day landings. In their eye-catching yellow livery, today's vehicles bear little resemblance to their military predecessors.
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.

A fantastic way to tour London. My two boys thought it was brilliant. There favourite bits were passing MI6 and trying to spot a spy and travelling along the Thames. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.
