You’ll love this - We had a wonderful time on the river cruise in Waco…. I’m forgetting the name of our skipper but he was the son of the owner and he was great. The views from the river were beautiful at sunset and he was very knowledgeable on what we were seeing. It truly stands out as one of our most enjoyable evenings on our three week Texas road trip! Highly recommend!!

Evening River Cruise - Jeff was a great river guide. We learned so much about the river and the impact it has on communities on both sides of the river.
It was a beautiful evening ride.
Thank you Jeff

Bucket list trip - We took this Brazos sunset river cruise because we are here visiting Waco (Bucket list trip for my friend Kim who passed away and wasn't able to make the trip) and she had a passion for sunsets. It was cloudy almost the entire time until the very end when it peeked out just for her! Jeff was an amazing tour guide and we were able to witness the tortilla throw with a successful landing!
