Denise and Liz were outstanding hosts and provided a very informative tour with a great sense of humor. As someone who lived in Waco in the early 2000ā€™s, it was exciting to see the transformation that Waco has undergone. There are many exciting changes but the same heart and warmth of the people remain. I was especially excited to see the revitalization underway in East Waco. Congratulations to Waco Tours and its employees for creating something special to highlight the city!

Oh, you have such a unique perspective of the revitalization that has gone on in Waco in the last 20 years. We love showing people how far the city has come in such a short time. It's a blessing to get to pass on that hope to others. Thank you for your kind review; we're so glad you enjoyed your experience!

Jonathan and Leah, our tour guides, were the best! They were informative, funny, and engaging. We learned a lot about the history of Waco and saw way more than we expected. The stop at Common Grounds and Heritage Creamery was awesome - 2 local businesses that have delicious coffee/drinks and ice cream, respectively. Stopping at Harp Design Co. was a special treat. Even locals have said they did not know everything we learned on this tour. Our guides were very knowledgeable and were able to easily accommodate for when construction blocked our path.
