Our tour guide was Anne. She was cute, made my kids laugh. I am glad we went on this 1 hour tour. The Wisconsin Dells area is much more beautiful that you realize from the "WaterPark" views that you get. As mentioned in some other reviews, Lake Delton is no longer, but to see the devistation from the flash flood... more

We had a great experience on the Duck tour. It was the first good thing we experience in the Dells. My 18 month old son sat pretty still through the whole thing. I think he enjoyed it. Due to the recent storms, we couldn't do the Lake Delton part of the tour but that was okay. Our tour guide Alex... more

The ducks had to find different routes to use, due to the draining of Lake Delton last week. They still go on the Wisconsin River, but not as far into it as previously. You can get a glimpse of where the water drained through, but they can't go close enough because the engines aren't strong enough to turn around in... more

My sister and I went on 3 different tour boat rides on the same day while we were in the Dells. This was the last one of the day and it was our least favorite. Our tour guide was really funny, but he talked really fast so you had to be listening really well. It was fun to be able... more

The duck tour was okay. I guess I was expecting more scenery. I also could not hear the tour guide very well on the back of the boat. As mentioned in previous reviews the driver does hit everyone up for a tip at the end. I was very irritated that they had one person at the ticket booth on Memorial... more

I was pretty skeptical about this pretty cheesy can't-say-you've-been-to-the-Dells-until-you've-done-this kitschy attraction. But I will say that I was pleasantly surprised, and would ride again. The college kids who all seem to run the place are hardworking, very nice, and knowledgable about the area. I was at first a little put off by the other poster's comment about the Duck breaking... more

What a wonderful way to see the Dells. I went on both the 'Original Ducks' lower Dells tour, and the 'Upper Dells' tour. Both were fabulous. My guides were very energetic and helpful, which only added to the experience. If you only have time to do one thing in the Dells, go on the 'Upper Dells' tour. The scenery is... more

My sister had never been to the dells, so of course her first time here, we decided to take her on a Duck ride. The tour went along nicely, until we arrived at the river. 15 minutes after our "splashdown", we heard a huge BANG! It sounded like a gunshot. Only to have the tourguide tell us sorry, but the... more

We toured on the Original Wisconsin Ducks in late June. The tour was wonderful! My son was lucky enough to ride co-pilot with our guide, Jake. He was all smiles, especially as we entered the water. Once on the lake, the driver allowed my son to drive the boat!! The tour was both fun and entertaining. I wanted my son... more

The Original Wisconsin Ducks tour is a nice escape into the natural landscaping of the area. Our two-year-old son loved the ride, and the combination of water and land riding kept it enjoyable enough for the whole family. The narration also gave us insight into the interesting history of the region. I would highly recommend this as an "escape" from... more
