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.

Perfect for Fixer Upper Fans

Kim_R, May 2026
This is a great tour for Fixer Upper fans! My mom and I took this tour as part of a weekend trip to Waco. We learned a lot about Waco from a local and got to see many of the homes featured on the show (and got to go inside one). Highly recommend!

A great start to any Trip!

Shelly_W, May 2026
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!

Who knew? Insider information to Fixer Upper homes!

Carla_S, May 2026
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!

Awesome!!!

Ron_M, May 2026

DK_K, Jan 2026
Never watched a full episode of the show. Not interested. Went for my wife and daughters. The tour was well run, great guide who grew up in Waco and very informative. Still not interested in the show or the couple. But enjoyed the tour, going inside one of the remodeled houses, and asking about Waco - which was extremely interesting. If you’re a fan, highly recommend. If not a fan, a good time being with loved ones who are fans.

Great for Fixer Upper fans
