It was a very nice boat ride, and was a great way to see some of the main sites/locations along the Brazos in Waco (suspension bridge, park, Baylor). Second half was just a boat ride…a bit long/boring. But - sunset was beautiful.

This was an amazing experience. The river was beautiful and our guide was excellent as he shared the history of Waco and the bridges and information about BU. It was the best part of our visit to Waco. I highly recommend it. We will definitely do it again!

Highly recommend this river trip to everyone! We had a wonderful experience and learnt a lot about the Waco area. The boat is super comfortable and Jeff was a great guide, pointing out wildlife and allowing us to take pics at any time. The scenery is beautiful.

It was a very relaxing ride and cooled off the hot day. It could have been shorter. Harry was excellent and very engaging! Would be nice to have been able to have a cocktail on the cruise.
