For people who do not have "google" or got out of ..............

Duck tours, or DUKW tours, are tours that take place on purpose-built amphibious tour buses or military surplus DUKWs and LARC-Vs.


Duck tours are primarily offered as tourist attractions in harbor, river and lake cities, such as Austin, Baltimore, Belfast, Boston and Barnstable, Massachusetts, Branson, Chattanooga, Cincinnati-Newport, Dublin, Halifax, Hot Springs, Arkansas, London, Malacca, Malaysia, Memphis, Miami, Mossman, Osaka, Ottawa, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland, Maine, Qingdao, Rotorua, San Francisco, Seattle, Singapore, South Lake Tahoe, Stone Mountain, Georgia, Toronto, Washington, DC, and Wisconsin Dells. Since 2010 and 2011 respectively two modern touring car buses (coaches) operate amphibious bus and boat services in Budapest, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and since 2013 in Lisbon, Portugal. In Brazil, the first Duck Tour was launched in Rio de Janeiro on 01/02/2014 by Duck Tour Brasil.

Oh by the way this vehicle was not invented in India (I think, or I should check with RSS or Mr. Batra), unlike the aeroplane.

Irrelevant wisecracks show the desperation and stomache burn. Advised to seek help to escape ulcer and exit burn, as more such items will be in the news.
