We visited soon after Christmas; our guide, Sue, was very informative & pleasant. The only thing promised in the booking info was we'd stop @ Jimmy Don's but because of the Holiday, we were told his place was closed, but would have been nice to even drive by it, which we didn't. Also, not able to tour inside on of the renovated houses, like we hoped, as it was currently leased out. Other than that, it was pretty cool seeing some of the houses that were featured on the Fixer Upper show.

Thank you for booking the tour and the nice review. We are blessed to have customers like you. We normally do go by Jimmy Don's, but it is a trailer and not his main location which is in Crawford. We have no decision in when a business is closed, but the rare times they are we don't stop. When it's open he is usually there and comes out to meet everyone. As for the house, we wish you could have seen the inside. On our website we state that you "might" get to go into a house. Most of the time it is available for the tours. On the occasion it isn't, we let everyone on the tour know which day the house will be available so they can meet back and tour the house. If you will not be in town when it is available, we ask that you call us when you come back to Waco so we can try and coordinate a tour of the house. Unfortunately sometimes things are beyond our control. We do the absolute best we can to provide a wonderful and unique experience. Again, thank you for the kind words.
