5.00My husband and I took a mini vacay, and decided to do a boat tour. We had the best time. The views you wouldn't of seen driving around, it was so relaxing. Mr. Harry was an awesome tour guide, he knew the Brazo's river like the back of his hand, great guy. Overall we had a wonderful morning boat ride and would definitely recommend it.

5.00our guide was very good. We learned more about Waco during our trip because of her. She knew plenty of historical and comical information about Waco’s past. It was a fun time and a great group. Nothing shorting the guide, this Brazos river needs some real clean up. Trash everywhere.
BEAUTIFUL sunset tour!

5.00Okay. So. Me and the fiance wanted a great mini vacation. Boy oh BOY did y'all make that happen! Dani (I remember because we are both Danyell/Danielle) was our guide and she was PHENOMENAL!! We learned so much history and information that I honestly didn't know before and found it thoroughly fascinating! It was actually the moment that sparked my curiosity with learning more history! We didn't have time to tour the Rangers Museum as she suggest :( but we are coming back and WILL be booking again! The ride was absolutely gorgeous. The sunset was perfect. Everything was *chefs kiss*. If I had not already proposed, I would've done it right then.
Don't Miss

5.00This was a nice, relaxing cruise down the Brazos. We learned a lot about Waco. I wish I would have taken it when we first got to Waco instead of when we were leaving. We would have done a lot of different things if we had done so.
Who knew the Brazos was so awesome!

5.00The boat was easy to find. It was a beautiful day, and we got started with a history tour of Waco. Our guide was very knowledgeable and easy to chat with. I especially loved the rude back where we just enjoyed music and the scenery.
Something interesting and fun all in one.
