Book this cruise! You won’t regret it! - We had so much fun on this cruise! CJ and Shannon were fantastic hosts and great story tellers. Boat ride was super relaxing while listening to our captain and first mate tell us all about Waco and all the lore. Funnest history lesson I’ve ever had. We kept it fun too with some great tunes, had lots of opportunities for pictures and even docked momentarily for a much needed bathroom break! This was a great introduction to Waco and we are so excited to get more familiar with Waco over the next 4 years while our daughter is attending Baylor. We will definitely be back for college graduation.

Kudos to Captain Matt and First Mate Liz! - Captain Matt and First Mate Liz made our sunset cruise so enjoyable! Their knowledge about Waco’s history as well as current happenings kept us completely engaged and waiting on the edge of our seats for more! You will be so drawn into their stories that you’ll forget you’re a tourist and feel more like a local! There’s a yummy surprise treat included in the tour that takes you back to “the good ole days” as well! Highly recommend this tour! No one works harder at being the best as these folks!

Waco river cruise is wonderful!! - Though my husband and I have previously been to Waco, this was our first time sightseeing. Shannon and Capt. Brad were excellent guides. They were warm, friendly, and knowledgeable about Waco and its history. We especially enjoyed their knowledge of the role and contributions of African-Americans from Waco. Waco has a lot of rich history. We highly recommend this cruise. It was educational and fun!
