This was a great a great way to see the surrounding area of Waco and learn some interesting facts. The guide was friendly, informative, and fun
Our Guide, Harry, was outstanding! Very knowledgeable regarding the area.
loved it. it was a relaxing trip, with good information.
Friendly and informative. Loved the stories told along the river. Just the right number of guest not over crowded. Will definitely recommend this tour and will do again ourselves.
We had a great time. Highly recommend taking this tour. Our guide was great. We had Danielle as our guide earlier in the week for a food tour. She made both experiences great. We will definitely do these again.
The sun is intense for the first hour. Thank you for getting us back to shore safely. A good memory from my 64th birthday. I know my sweet girl was smiling down and laughing at me and her aunt. 10/10/26 will be 2 years that she went to her heavenly home. I miss her so much. 38 years old and had a sudden pulmonary thromboembolism.
Thank you for celebrating your birthday with us, Kristine, and for taking the time to share your experience. It was truly an honor to have you aboard on such a meaningful day. We were especially touched by your heartfelt comments about your daughter. Thank you for sharing a part of her story with us. We hope your time on the Brazos River provided a peaceful moment to reflect and celebrate her memory. Texas summers can certainly bring intense sunshine, especially during the first portion of our cruise. While we provide a covered pontoon with shade for much of the seating, guests who prefer additional sun protection are always welcome to bring a hat, sunglasses, or sunscreen for added comfort. Thank you again for joining us, and we wish you many more meaningful memories with family and friends.
We booked this tour as a new experience for ourselves and our two grandsons as a part of our annual Grandparent Trip. It exceeded our expectations with the sights, the history, and the knowledge of our guide (Jeff) who was a wealth of information. It proved to be quite an experience and will surely be a lasting memory for the grands.
We booked the sunset boat tour as part of our Girl Trip and loved it! It was lowkey and relaxing to see the city from the water. We learned a lot, and our guide, Danielle, was amazing! She was so knowledgeable, kind and made us feel right at home. If you like boating, this tour is a must!
Jeff was very knowledgeable, we had known idea Waco had so much to offer, and his knowledge of the history of Waco is incredible. Everyone in our party friend and family enjoyed the boat tour. I would do this again only this time I would like to try the sunset tour. We did the morning tour. Enjoyed it !
The morning river cruise was a great way to start the day. Our captain provided details on Waco buildings and points of interest along the way. We gained a greater understanding of the history of Waco. The weather was pleasant and we all thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing boat ride.
