My wife and I took the Classic Waco Tour today. It was UNBELIEVABLE!!! We have done tons of tours in numerous cities around the world. This tour rates #1 out of all of them. Our driver, Liz, and tour guide, Harrison were outstanding!!! They interacted well together...shared a lot of history and insights about Waco...PLUS entertained us along the way...they played off each other flawlessly. I asked them a lot of questions during our tour...they were very knowledgeable and quick to respond. Add to this, they provided us with food recommendations and additional things to see while in Waco. Considering that we have stayed in Waco on several other trips over the years, we were shocked that Liz and Harrison could take us to places that we were NOT aware of...and share things and history that we were not aware of. Further, they both seem to keep learning so that their tour knowledge is current. They are both knowledgeable about Chip and Joanna and Fixer Upper episodes. With this tour, we got to see a lot of homes they have remodeled. Also they had insights as to where the future is headed for Magnolia...hint: hotel business. Overall, we were so impressed with this tour, we will DEFINITELY book another tour (or maybe the same tour again) with Waco Tours. Ask for Liz or Harrison and you will learn a lot about Waco...plus be entertained along the way!
