Traveler reviews
Girls trip fun
I’ve been on city tours before and this was by far the best. My mom, daughter and I came to Waco for our first annual girls trip. We not only enjoyed the boat ride but First Mate Ben and Captain Matt were personable, funny and just pleasant to be in company with. We just relaxed, laughed, and really enjoyed the beautiful scenery! We would definitely go again if ever back in the area 😊
Girls Trip!
Hi Captain Matt and First Mate Ben! Y'all were great! My daughter booked the cruise for her, her daughter and me (mom). We had the best time learning the local history and y'all had us laughing and having so much fun! The scenery and sunset were breathtaking and we made some memories that we will never forget! And the Rootbeer Floats....😋 We can't wait to share our experience with family and friends! Take care, Thank you and God Bless
Highly Recommend This Tour
I can’t recommend Wako Tours enough! My mom, grandma, and I did the sunset boat tour with Captain Matt and first mate Ben, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. The ride was beautiful and relaxing, and the way they shared the history of Waco made it fun and memorable. It was the perfect mix of scenic views, great conversation, and a genuinely enjoyable atmosphere. We left feeling completely relaxed and really glad we went. Definitely something we’ll be doing again with the whole family!
Fantastic experience on the river.
This tour is truly special. It includes a lot of Waco history and lore, and it is all on a relaxing and comfortable boat. The river is beautiful and peaceful and full of nature. Captain Matt and First Mate Shannon were thoughtful, engaging, and extremely well versed in Waco history. They made this tour memorable!
