Our river boat cruise with Jesse and Caden was such a great experience. Caden was an excellent tour guide/story teller and delivered so much history while weaving in entertaining stories that kept even my 6 & 8 year old boys interested. Jesse was our captain/DJ who also provided informative details throughout. The boys loved giving suggestions for songs to play & trying to answer his questions. It was also so great to hear them bring Jesus into the conversation. We started with a prayer and we sang a few Forrest Frank songs and just enjoyed time together. They’re doing a great job, spreading God’s Word how they can, even on just a Brazos River boat tour. Truly couldn’t recommend it more. Thanks guys!

We memorable journey down the Brazos River with Waco Tours. Our guides, TJ and Jeremiah were kind, friendly, knowledgeable and served up a pretty good dose of inspiration, historical knowledge, fun facts, and even some ice cream during this 2 hour tour! The scenery was unexpectedly beautiful with all the bridges, the Blue Herons and the amazing sunset. We walked away with smiles, saying to one another "I never knew that about Waco". Highly recommend this tour for an enjoyable afternoon on the water!

Fantastic experience on the Brazos River! The tour was fun, the scenery was beautiful, and the crew was outstanding—super friendly, entertaining, and professional. Highly recommended! Kudos to CJ and Jeremiah, they ask for our favorite song and actually play it out loud🤘in our tour.

Jesse and Cayden made every effort to give us a safe, entertaining and informative tour. It was fun to learn all about the development of Waco and the importance of the river in Texas history. The "surprise treat" in the midpoint was delicious and refreshing, too.
