Captain Aaron and Phoenix was incredible. They made us feel welcome from the time we boarded until the time we debarked. We learned a lot about the history of the area, Brazos River, and Baylor University. The guys surprised us all with a Dr. Pepper/Blue Bell ice cream float. A great way to relax and enjoy the evening. The time of day was excellent as we watched a full moon rise as we headed in. If I had to offer any suggestions to have made the tour better for us it would be to have a mic/speaker during the discussions. We were sitting at the rear near the engines. (Those seats are still the best spot on the boat)

This tour beyond exceeded my expectations!! We were greeted by Gracie and Captain Tim. Gracie is literally the sweetest person you will ever meet in your life. She prayed over the boat before we took off. Both Gracie and Captain Tim told great stories of historical sites and structures that we passed along the Brazos River. It was so entertaining and cool to see and learn about Waco from this point of view. Captain Tim was also a fantastic DJ, playing songs that were fun and appropriate during each story and different parts of the tour. Gracie also took pictures of everyone which in my opinion is such an awesome thing to offer, because I love taking pictures but also wanted to enjoy my time in the boat. This tour is 100% worth the money! Honestly I’ll probably do it again every time we have different people visit us here in Waco! All in all, Captain Tim and Gracie made you feel like family. They were so personable, like you were basically friends when you left the boat! It’s people like them who make experiences like this beyond awesome.

The experience was amazing, both Gracie and Preston did a excellent job. These guys have a great sense of humor and very transparent and sincere. One thing I would like to suggest is maybe they can use a some sort of speaker and a mic during the tour so people in the back of the boat close to the engine can hear the stories that are being told. ;)
