Enjoyed the history. Could be improved with having some time of quiet so we could look out the windows and take in the sites easier, giving time to ask questions about what we see. The guide talked toooo much and kept our attention on himself. Thatā€™s not why we were on the tour.

It was great. It included Waco history, current Waco information, the Fixer Upper houses and relevant cultural details. Don and Lucas complement each other very well. There was no dead time. They represent the company and Waco very well. Highly recommend this tour.

We absolutely loved our tour. We did a city tour in Dallas the day before and it completely paled in comparison. Rae and Leah were so warm and welcoming and helped us fall in love with the ā€œheart of Texasā€. The ā€œFixer Upperā€ parts of the tour were really fun, but we learned so much more about the city, itā€™s history, and itā€™s restorative culture. Rae and Leah did an excellent job of paying attention to detail and their customer service was TOP NOTCH! They made us feel like old friends visiting their city. We would highly recommended this tour to anyone. We hope to try the river cruise on our next visit!
