We spent a few days in Waco for our anniversary. We will be back. This boat tour was a highlight, it was a very enjoyable trip. Jake and Brandon were amazing tour guides. They knew our name after the first introduction. They were entertaining and knowledgeable about the area. I would highly recommend this trip. We were on the trip with the 7 women that meet every year - I see their review here already. What a great way to appreciate the beauty in Waco - I had no idea. Thank you for doing this tour.

We, group of 7 women friends who meet up once a year in different places, had a great time on this boat tour. Our guides were Captain Jake and Brendan. They are the best! The tour was informative, beautiful and a lot of fun. We loved being on the water and learning about the history of Waco as it related to the river. The surprise stop and treat were special! I highly recommend this tour!

What an amazing experience!!! Start to finish - this tour was the absolute best! It was super easy to book online, and I received regular updates through email and text with instructions and information prior to the cruise. There are not enough positive adjectives to describe how wonderful Captain Ed and First Mate Bobby were during our cruise. They were knowledgeable, funny and just the best. I learned so much about Waco! The sweet treat they provided during the cruise was great, and so were the blankets (it got a little chilly on the way back!). This is a MUST-DO tour if you are in Waco. You will not be disappointed! Thank you for a wonderful experience Waco Tours, and thank you Bobby and Ed!!
