The tour was great, not to long and very informative, it told much about the history and also some fun facts about the Fixer Upper show
Our guide was very knowledgeable. He was raised here. Always good as a guide who has history has stories you wouldn't get from a transplant. He was very considerate of everyone. Would recommend for anyone traveling to Waco if they want to get a real feel for the history of this town.
Danielle was very knowledgeable about our tour. She had interesting and fun facts that made our time with her a wonderful experience.
Our experience was awesome! Danielle was a great host and an amazing tour guide. She made everything about our tour fun! We would definitely recommend to anyone who is a Fixer Upper fan!
Danielle was a great tour guide. She took us to see several homes that were renovated by Joanna and Chip Gaines on the Fixer Upper tv series. She even remembered which season they appeared on.
It was a very interesting tour and our guide was excellent! Having someone who grew up in Waco was a treat and his knowledge of history was amazing.
Great tour and guide!
Loved that we got to see not only Chip and Joanna homes but also other interesting Waco items.
Our tour guide showed us around Waco and told us about the history and we saw several of the Fixer Upper renovations. We were even fortunate enough to be able to go inside one of them.
Only got to go inside 1 Fixer Upper house. Toured around the city of Waco, Cameron Park at Lovers Leap, drove by Cottanland Castle.
Very good history on Fixer Upper homes and on Waco Texas. Danielle was the best tour guide I have ever had and was very knowledgeable. Her personality was amazing!
Great conversation, very informative about the homes on the tour. Learned so many things about Waco!
Amazing tour, very interesting. Danielle our guide was fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable. Lots of recommendations of other places to visit while in waco. Really enjoyable tour
Danielle did an awesome job. She was knowledgeable and fun. She went above and beyond to educate us on Fixer Upper secrets and and showed us some great sites of Waco.. would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that wants to learn about the town of Waco and a little bit more about Fixer Upper
This is a driving tour with narration. It was extremely hot and they could have started bus and cooled it off before starting tour on a 100 plus day. Stops at locations were too short to allow for browsing for souvenirs. We tipped driver but I don't recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Carol. We're sorry the tour didn't meet your expectations.
Our Waco History, Hidden Gems & Fixer Upper Homes Tour is designed as a professionally narrated sightseeing experience by vehicle, allowing guests to see dozens of historic sites, landmarks, and homes across Waco that would not be possible on a walking tour. The scheduled stops are intended for viewing, photos, and learning about each location rather than shopping, which would significantly reduce the number of places we can include during the tour.
Regarding the weather, Texas summers can certainly be very hot. While the vehicle is air-conditioned, brief stops are part of the experience so guests can step out to enjoy and photograph some of Waco's most iconic locations.
We appreciate your comments and will continue looking for ways to make the experience even better for future guests.
We had a great time with our tour guide. She’s knowledgeable about Waco and Fixer Upper. My favorite part of the tour was actually seeing a fixer upper inside.
The tour was great and very informative. Actually got to go in one of the fixer upper homes.
Was worth the time and money.
The history of Waco. I was very surprised and plan on returning. You will enjoy every moment of you visit.
It was very informative. I especially liked the stop at Lover's Leap. The driver was very friendly and nice.
Was a really good tour of Waco and the relationship to the HGTV Fixer -Upper show. The guide was very knowledgeable.
It is a very interesting and informative tour of some of the houses Chip and Johanna have renovated. Also learned about some of Waco history and special spots around the city. Danielle was friendly and gave lots of details about each stop.
Absolutely Fantastic. Very friendly, extremely informative, knew the City of Waco because she grew up in Waco.
Highly recommend. Would do it again.
Very informative especially about the fixer upper’s with Chip & Joann Gaines.
Tour guide was excellent!
This is a great tour of Waco. Very informative and entertaining! Paul was great! We liked Cameron Park best. Particularly Lovers Leap!
Awesome tour!!! Loved all the added history with it too!! Loved getting to walk through one of the houses too. Our tour guide was amazing and very personable! Really enjoyed the afternoon:)
Very entertaining and informative! Knowledge guides, excellent stories and stops along the way! Yay!!
This isn’t just a read from a script tour. She pours her heart and soul into it. Adds her knowledge and experience in a great tour presentation.
Do it early in your stay in Waco so you learn about more places you want to visit. It was worth the money.
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!
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!
