A Waco Must Do

5.00Really enjoyed this tour around Waco! We gained a good understanding of the area, the Magnolia beginnings and saw some fun “Fixer Upper” properties. A must do tour if you’re in the area. Our tour guides Brad and Micah were extremely kind and caring individuals. Love the restoration theme of the tour as a whole. God bless!
Waco’s Chip & Joanna “best of the best” tour.

5.00Tour was the “best of the best” tour driving by Chip & Joanna’s renovated homes, Silo shops, zoo, views of the city & more! We stopped at a local coffee shop near Baylor’s campus for coffee. We learned of the many contributions the Gaines made toward making Waco what it is today as well as Waco’s early history. Van was comfortable & CJ, our tour guide was a hoot - fun, very knowledgeable with attention to detail as well as entertaining!

Informative tour

4.00This is a good tour. Brad and Don are incredibly knowledgeable about the area. They are personable and funny! My friend and I drove around on our own and passed many of the points of interest that are on the tour. However, without being in Brad and Don’s company, we would have never known about the history of the city… or been there for their dad jokes (ha,ha!). The reason I didn’t give it a full five stars is because it’s mainly a driving tour. It’s hard to hear the commentary from the back of the bus; and, we only stopped twice: once to see Common Grounds and get a drink, and the second to stop in a park to see a view. It was quite chilly in their Sprinter; and I would have preferred to have more places to explore from outside the vehicle.

5.00Our Waco Sites and TV Highlights Tour was amazing from start to finish! Micah and Brad were the perfect guides — fun, knowledgeable, and full of great stories about the shows filmed here. They made the whole experience come alive, pointing out hidden gems and behind-the-scenes details we never would’ve known on our own. We loved exploring East Waco, Cameron Park, and all the beautiful neighborhoods that have been featured on TV. Micah and Brad made everyone feel welcome and kept the group laughing the whole time! We even celebrated one of our party’s sixteenth birthdays on the tour, and Micah and Brad went above and beyond to make it special. A special shoutout to the general manager CJ such a kind and friendly person who clearly cares about every guest’s experience. You can tell this team truly loves their community of Waco and what they do. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Waco — it’s the perfect mix of fun, and history.
