London Duck Tours



London Duck Tours are NOT accessible!

They are however a great day out if you can manage steps. I carried Dude on and off the Duck and staff kept his wheelchair safe for us. They boarded us before everybody else and brought the wheelchair to the Duck when we got off.

This was a once only trip for Dude as he is getting too big and heavy to lift. The Duck can be quite bumpy at times especially getting in and out of the water (Thames) so I had to hang on tight to him to stop him falling off.

He did have a fantastic time and the staff are really friendly and funny.

London Duck Tours can be easily reached by public transport. We took the tube to Westminster and walked over Westminster Bridge. The pick up and drop off points for the Duck is on Chicheley Street which can be found just behind the London Eye.

If you are leaving a wheelchair whilst you are on the duck the staff will keep it safe for you and if it rains they will take it to their office, returning it to the drop off point when you are due to arrive back.

There is 5 steps to climb to get onto the Duck. The Duck's are old WWII amphibious vehicles so they were not designed with disability in mind. You can find out about the history of the Duck here.

This is the answer on the London Duck Tours website to the question

Are you wheelchair accessible?

''The tour is not suitable for those with impaired mobility and our vintage vehicles are not equipped for wheelchairs.   However, if passengers are able to manage the 5 steps onto the Duck, we are more than happy to keep wheelchairs in our office or at our departure point, but this is at the owner’s risk.''

Although the London Duck Tours are not accessible, the tour itself and the staff are great.
