Discover Waco in a way most visitors never do.
This top-rated experience goes beyond the typical Fixer Upper tour—blending iconic homes from the show with Waco’s rich history, local stories, and hidden gems you won’t find on your own.
See beautifully renovated houses made famous by Chip & Joanna Gaines, hear behind-the-scenes insights, and explore the heart of the city with a knowledgeable, engaging guide who brings Waco to life.
Along the way, you’ll visit landmarks, uncover surprising stops, and—when available—step inside a home featured on the show for an up-close look at the craftsmanship and design.
With a relaxed pace, small-group feel, and consistently 5-star reviews, this 2-hour tour is perfect for first-time visitors, fans of the show, and anyone who wants a deeper, more memorable Waco experience.

This was a great place to start any experience in Waco. The tour guide not only gave you the highlights of the town, but shared the things not to miss. Had we taken the tour at the end, we would have missed them. So definitely take this tour at the beginning. And thank you to the guide who so graciously shared her insights with us!! We took notes on our phones and went back to visit many of the things she shared with us! We felt we had the inside scoop on things to do in Waco because of this tour!

Our guide, Danielle, gave us “insider” information we wouldn’t have known if we hadn’t taken the tour! Plus, no one has all the fixer upper addresses…it would have taken so long to figure that out!

If you are interested in seeing some of their houses, including the opportunity to see the interior of one of them, this is the tour for you. And if you find a white visor, it’s yours.

It was enjoyable. Not a lot of walking mostly saw things from the van. Fun to see homes that were on tv and hear some of the history. Enjoyed hearing about Waco too. Lovers Leap is beautiful.

The tour was informative, interesting and many facts about both the city of Waco and the Magnolia fixer upper brand. We went inside one home on this tour that had been on the show.

Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of the young lady who was our guide. She was very knowledgeable, funny, and charming. She drove us all over the city to see houses and other things associated with Chip & Joanna.
