We loved this tour! Liz was great and we learned so much. We saw and learned so much about the area. We were so glad we did this and did it early in the trip. It then helped us plan the rest of our stay. Worth the money for sure!

We had a blast on our Waco tour! Tyne and Leah were excellent tour guides! We loved chatting with them at all the stops! I loved seeing all of the homes they showed us that were fixer-upper's! We even got to meet Jimmy Don! Another highlight was the free scoop of ice cream at Heritage Creamery. Delicious! The tour was a fun thing to do when the weather is hot in Waco. The van was nice and cool. Everybody on our tour had a great time! Thank you, Waco tours!

Magnificent evening & a 'Must do' for your Waco, TX visit! Captain Jake and First Mate Liz provided a very educational, yet fun 2 1/2 hour experience aboard a nice, comfortable pontoon boat traveling up and down the Brazos River in Waco. We learned so much history for the city of Waco, enjoyed Dr. Pepper floats, and had lots of fun.

Denise & Cameron were the best guides we could ask for. Great fun on our tour. Lots of Chip & Joanna Gaines info, but a well rounded tour of Waco including all kinds of info. Would definitey recommend.

Inside the Waco Tour store. Cute stuff to purchase in the mercantile.

A 5* experience all-around!! I just finished the CLASSIC WACO tour and it was one of the highlights on my trip here. Our guides were Cowboy Dave & Mary -- they knew so much history of this town & had us entertained for 2.5 hours as we drove around Waco. This tour started at their main store, where you and about 10 other people load up into a van. The tour takes you around the city through several neighborhoods, past several Fixer Upper houses, downtown and you learn about everything Waco & Magnolia! During the 2.5 hour tour, you stop a few times for ice cream, photo ops and bathroom breaks. Mary was so thoughtful because she kept snapping pictures of everyone & then sent them in a group message afterwards (so much better than begging someone, "can you please take our picture?") Upon return, we took another group picture inside the store (lots of cute merchandise to purchase too). Before you leave, they give you a coupon book (which never expires) along with a list of the recommended food, drinks, entertainment & shopping. This served as an excellent guide for the rest of the time we were in Waco. The only thing I would've done different is going on this tour the FIRST day I got to town! Highly recommend -- you won't be disappointed.

I truly enjoyed myself and highly recommend Waco Tours. Our tour guide Joey was very informative and sweet. He did such an amazing job. We visited 3 vineyards which all offered great wine choices. Valley Mills Vineyard is my personal favorite. Thank you Waco Tours for an amazing day!!!

Heritage Creamery!

This is more than a car drive! After going back and forth wanting to do this tour, I decided to just say "yes" and see what would come from it! And I was surprised! My drivers were Julie and Sydney and both of these ladies provided such a wonderful experience for me to learn more about Waco and the restoration that this city has gone through and how it will continue to grow. It's more than a car drive! It's a time of encouragement and just seeing how each person with Waco Tours you come into contact with really values each individual on the trip. After hearing a bit about the business owners through a podcast, I wanted to see the "heart behind the business" and see it for myself! I would highly encourage anyone to take the tour and even if you have been to Waco many times, you will learn new things!

Meeting Jimmy Don along the tour!

This was our first visit to Waco. We came for a long weekend without the kids. The whole Chip and Jo experience brought us to Waco. We wanted to see different homes that were featured on the show along with other places that have meaning to Chip and Jo's story. The tour was great. The guides, Danny and Mary, were super friendly and accommodating from the start. We appreciated all of their knowledge and stories along the way. We saw some homes and several places that were featured on the show. But we were pleasantly surprised to learn about many other things Waco has to offer outside of the Magnolia experience. The tour is very intentional on giving their visitors what they want, while zoning in on parts of the area that make Waco special. We are glad we did this at the beginning of our visit. It helped us decide what to do while we were in town. We really appreciated the family-like atmosphere and enjoyed the little surprises along the way. Thanks for helping to make our weekend even more special with this wonderful service. (The price was a bit high...I wish it wasn't so expensive. Try to find a coupon or promo code.)

We went with the Waco Tours-group today and WOW wag at a great trip. Our tour guides, Kendal & Heather, did a great job showing us around Waco, TX. The homes, the buildings, the sights and everything else in between. Theses two young ladies did a perfect job! The stops we made were amazing. I was the only guy on this tour but they made me feel right at home. It's well worth the $$$! If you go, please tell them Ed & Sara from Florida recommended the trip

My husband Craig and I did the tour. This was my second time. I did my first tour with GF in 2017. You did not disappoint. Had a blast Red and Rebecca hit it out of the park. Thanks for making our spring break the best! PS the cup cakes were worth the wait too! Sissy Oberlin Tustin, Ca

Happy 92nd Birthday Ross!

When everything is perfect, you get 5 stars! This review is for the evening river cruise. Ben and Bobby welcomed us aboard a very nice pontoon boat. 12 guests on this cruise. But not just any 12 guests. We were joined by Ross and some of his family. Ross was celebrating his 92nd birthday on this river cruise! Happy birthday Ross! The cruise departs from the Baylor football stadium parking lot. As we head west, the sun is in our eyes and it's pretty warm. The speed of the boat creates a cool breeze and pretty soon we're behind the trees, and all is well! Ben and Bobby start off with some Waco history, both interesting and funny. There's plenty to hear about Waco. Ross is a Waco native, so he had some stories too! At a certain spot, we stopped and threw tortilla frisbees. Yep, tortilla frisbees! Take the cruise to find out Why! The scenery was beautiful. The riverbanks had Cameron Park on one side, and beautiful houses and forest on the other. Look up the cliffs to see Lovers Leap! At the fork in the road, we headed up the Bosque river. The Calvary and the Indians became the subject of the stories. At the halfway point, we stopped and threw out the anchor. Time for a Waco original treat. What, you ask in amazement? That's right, out came the Dr Pepper ice cream floats! The perfect treat. As we head back, some music to enjoy your trip back down the river. The last half hour, it's dark, and the light of Waco begin to shine! Some great pictures! All in all, a wonderful trip that we will do again. Waco Tours has 2 other tours you can experience, so head for Waco and have some fun!

Ben and Tim were fantastic river tour guides/captain!!! We learned so much about Waco's history!!! We came here for parents weekend and a highlight was this evening river cruise!! We'd highly recommend this to anyone!

Amy and Rachel, our tour guides had full of excitement, fun and knowledge! We sang, danced in our seats and saw bunch of different sites, including the homes that were made famous by a famous Waco couple. We also was able to meet David Ridley and Jimmy Don! Which was really cool too. The next time we visit we plan to do their river dinner cruise. Thanks for the memories!!! Nathan & Cindy

Our tour group!

See all
