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.

Boat very comfortable and easy to board! You will learn such interesting history of Waco. Harry is often the guide on M-Th evenings and he was knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. There is a shade topper to protect you from the sun in summer, but still wear sunscreen as the sun will still shine on you in the front section.
Lori_B, Jul 2026
What a wonderful experience!!! Our captain was great and very knowledgeable about Waco and the Brazos River.

It can be very hot in the beginning of the ride. Perhaps bring an umbrella for more shade. They do provide cold water.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thanks for booking the tour and the excellent rating! Yep, it gets hot in Texas...we would also recommend that you use some sun block before departure. Appreciate your business and look forward to hosting you again in the future!

Beautiful evening cruise. Welcoming tour captain. Harry was knowledgeable about the local history in the area. We enjoyed the river cruise at a nice pace. Never felt rushed. Providing ice cold water was a nice touch.

The guide meet us near the Baylor stadium at the waterfront. The boat comfortably held the weight of us. The guide provided an excellent narrative, pointing out the points of interest along the shoreline and providing area history.

Great clean boat and captain was very good. Boat was very comfortable and a smooth quiet ride. The scenery was amazing and the cliffs were awesome.
Vard_S, Jun 2026
our guide was very good. We learned more about Waco during our trip because of her. She knew plenty of historical and comical information about Waco’s past. It was a fun time and a great group. Nothing shorting the guide, this Brazos river needs some real clean up. Trash everywhere.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for the booking the tour and great review! We appreciate it. The Brazos is the 14th longest geographical river in the country and there have been pretty severe storms recently across the Southwest US. This creates a good deal of debris down river. The debris flows through Waco pretty fast and returns to normal. Thank you for understanding.
Donna_D, Jun 2026
This was a nice, relaxing cruise down the Brazos. We learned a lot about Waco. I wish I would have taken it when we first got to Waco instead of when we were leaving. We would have done a lot of different things if we had done so.
Lindsley_H, Jun 2026
The boat was easy to find. It was a beautiful day, and we got started with a history tour of Waco. Our guide was very knowledgeable and easy to chat with. I especially loved the rude back where we just enjoyed music and the scenery.
Billy_M, Jun 2026
I lived in Waco for 48 years and I still learned things on the boat tour. Our guide was fantastic. Would do it again.
Juli_S, Jun 2026
It was very comfortable. Part of the cruise was very peaceful and quiet and the very last part. We had a little bit of music, but it wasn’t too loud. It was really a wonderful experience! Tour guide was very knowledgeable about everything. We would definitely do it again.

Rivanna_C, Mar 2026
Great experience. Guide was personable and knowledgeable about the area. Bad news: we didn’t see the sunset since the tour ended before it happened. Good news: got home in time to see it from our back patio.
Glenn_A, Mar 2026
We enjoyed a wonderful tour with Danielle! It’s a beautiful area and she kept us well informed about the interesting sites we passed.

What an amazing experience!! My sister, her friends and I were in Waco to celebrate her birthday & looking to do something different from seeing the Silos & shopping. Decided on the river cruise due to all the positive reviews…and they were right on!! The river is beautiful & our boat Captain Danielle shared lots of interesting stories & history about Waco. Highly recommend doing it!!
Suzanne_D, Mar 2026
We learned about the pontoon cruise from a friend. After we booked, we were kept up to date with directions and updates. Communication was terrific. Our captain was Harry and he was knowledgeable and fun. See Waco from the water offered a different perspective and we were pleasantly surprised by the scenic views. It was a fun way to spend the evening and we learned some fun facts about Waco.
