5.00Fabulous experience that I highly recommend! Captain Jesse and first mate Betty exceeded all expectations! We went on our first night in Waco and learned so much about the history of the area and present day Waco. We were there in November and it was quite chilly. We were given very cozy blankets and hot chocolate.
Best experience of the trip!

5.00We had the best time with Matt and Melinda on our tour! We were lucky enough to be the only ones on our boat so we got the full experience! The two of them kept us laughing but also shared such great insight to Waco. They also had some great recommendations for us outside of their tour. We were so blessed to have them as our guide and would highly recommend this trip to anyone!
Must do for visitors!

5.00Matt and Leah were great. The tour was educational, scenic and fun. This was a last-minute choice for us at the end of a long road trip and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. You get more than your money's worth. I highly recommend this tour. I wish they would publicize this and other tours more as I'm sure many people are missing some very good things.
