The excitement of seeing the capital in this novel way is enhanced by an entertaining, action packed commentary by the character tour guides providing an alternative view of London's history, Plus fascinating facts and figures about the Duck vehicles themselves
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. To reflect their amphibious nature they have been renamed 'Frogs' for the London adventure. 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 ducted heating, Comfortable seating for 30 passengers, a public address system and full safety equipment.
