Red and Lucas were the best tour guides! Not only did we learn a lot about Waco but the tour was very entertaining! We would highly recommend it, especially if you are big fans of Chip and Jo.

I like taking tours of places I'm not familiar with because a good tour with a knowledgeable guide(s) allows you to see and experience places that you might miss. Waco Tours did a great job of showing the highlights and showcasing the town. They covered the whole spectrum of what makeups Waco from Baylor University, early years of Waco, the shops and restaurants, The Fixer Uppers houses, Silos, Magnolia places, Dr Pepper Museum, etc... We had Lucas and Linda, who made a great team. They were delightful, witty, cordial, and most of all knowledgeable. Highly recommend taking a tour with them if you want to see a crosscut of Waco. I first thought Waco would be limited to a few things to do and see but after the tour I realized there was a lot to see and do
