I have to admit - I had no desire to go on the tour but my wife “insisted”. When we stepped on board we met Captain Preston and First Mate Mary and Mary was what I would call - exuberant. She promised by the end of the tour we would all be family - I thought - I’ve got enough family - this is gonna be a long 2.5 hours. It didn’t take long for Mary to win the crowd - myself included with her stories, sense of humor and spontaneous song & dance. She and Preston made the city come alive - and as promised by the end of the trip everyone on board felt like family and many of us exchanged contact info to keep in touch like we were leaving summer camp. If you Waco - do yourself a favor and hope on board the boat tour - it’ll make you love the city more and add a few more members to your family.

My mom & I took a trip to Waco to do all things Magnolia and this tour ended up being one the major highlights. She wanted to do something along the river so I was thrilled to find this cruise. Tim & Bobby were such natural storytellers and made the boat feel like a group of old friends. Also there are a number of special touches to enhance the tour experience that I won't spoil for everyone. ;)
