Hands down this was one of my very favorite tours ever! In addition to being interesting and beautiful, Captain Matt and 1st Mate Goose were absolutely wonderful! They were thoughtful, very knowledgeable and entertaining, and very professional. Be sure to book a tour, I promise you’ll be glad you did

The cruise experience was so much fun! We were introduced to a few other families on the boat with us. We learned a lot of info about Waco & Baylor University. The surroundings were beautiful & they even had blankets for when it got a bit chilly after the sun went down. The boat has lights & speakers for music being played as we rode around on the river. Captain Matt & first mate Goose kept us entertained the whole time with stories & history. Our whole family enjoyed our time cruising & our 2 teenagers even said it was their favorite thing we did in Waco. Would definitely recommend

Captain Matt and First Mate Preston will take you on an amazing excursion. You are in for a real treat! Great way to learn about the history of Waco as you take an adventure on the river. You won’t be disappointed!

An experience you won’t want to miss! Captain Matt and first mate Preston were super entertaining with a vast knowledge of the history and current news of Waco.

A great, casual introduction to the Waco area and its history along the river. First mate Preston and Captain John were both friendly and knowledgeable. It’s a gentle ride on a pontoon boat down the river. Takes about 2 hours. Highly recommend this experience if you’re visiting Waco.

Captain Jesse and First Mate Liz were awesome! My wife and I went on the cruise to celebrate her birthday and it was such a relaxing and informative tour. I can see what this tour is so highly rated. You will love the tour, book it and get Jess and Liz.
