Waco Tours was absolutely AWESOME! Not only the shuttle tour but the Sunset Cruise with Rebecca & Captain Trey aka Ben Affleck, was OUTSTANDING and made our stay! I know everyone wants to see the homes, etc but ITā€™S A MUST to take a SUNSET CRUISE and if youā€™re lucky enough as we were to have This couple as your hosts. It was obvious they genuinely love giving tours and making sure their customers have the best time possible while on their boat! Everything in Waco we enjoyed but the cruise with Rebecca & Trey was the icing on the cake!

Jonathan and Denise were great tour guides for Waco. They mentioned it a few times during the tour that people end up buying out in Waco or moving to Waco after taking the tour and my husband and I definitely see how that can be. Being from Dallas I never would have seen Waco a place that I would want to move to, buuuuuut wait for it..... After taking this tour we both would love to buy out there! It's such a cute city. Small town feel and everyone that we had come in contact with (store, restaurants, fast food places, etc.) were so nice. I thought Texas had lost it's "southern hospitality", but Waco has showed us different. We learned alot on this tour, the history and about Chip and Jo (if you love them, like I do!). Waco has so many hidden gems, it was amazing! Thank you!

The tour guides (Cam and Denise) were so funny and spot on during the ride. They were simply excellent. Every stop and location were well thought out. I'd definitely do this again!
