5.00What an amazing experience!! My sister, her friends and I were in Waco to celebrate her birthday & looking to do something different from seeing the Silos & shopping. Decided on the river cruise due to all the positive reviews…and they were right on!! The river is beautiful & our boat Captain Danielle shared lots of interesting stories & history about Waco. Highly recommend doing it!!
