A "Must-Do" Tour in Waco - Both Dano and Liz were warm and personable. They treated everyone with respect and kindness, and my friends and I felt like we learned so much about Waco's history as well as interesting facts about life in Waco currently. What a treat! We were so glad we did this tour on our first day in town, and we highly recommend it!

The Perfect Tour for Fixer Upper Fans - We traveled from Boston to Waco for the Magnolia Madness and had a great trip. As long-time fans of the Gaineses and All Things Fixer Upper, we knew this tour was the one for us. Travelers have a few different options to see Waco--some at a much lower price point; however, there's a reason this tour company is ranked as high as it is. First, our tour guides--Leah & Liz--were great. Their energy, their seamless storytelling, their senses of humor, their knowledge of Waco and of the different Fixer Upper homes made our tour perfection. (The two collages I included feature just some of the many homes fans will see on their 2.5-hour tour.) But it's not all Fixer Upper either; you'll learn plenty about Waco as well. My husband and I agreed: This tour was worth every penny!

Perfectly delightful guided tour, with warm and friendly guides. - The limo van so comfy. Driver Leah and guide Betty were so complete,y gracious. Opening doors, providing refreshments and rest stops. Tons of exotic stories of Waco. Sold the town so well. We could all hear the narration very well. Waco restoration has a lot to talk about. But these ladies could have sold ice cubes to eskimos.

FIVE STAR TOUR - This tour was so fun! Don and Liz did an amazing job! It was very interesting to learn so much about Waco. It has so much more cool history than I expected. And it was of course awesome to see Magnolia and learn all Fixer Upper facts! Don and Liz made the tour fun and kept us very entertained, all while teaching us about the city of Waco! I loved it and will be recommending to all my friends and family!

The only guy in the bus - Lexie and Liz were the best tour guides! Kind and funny, tooling through Waco showing unexpected treasures. I’m not a “tour” guy normally but this was very enjoyable and interesting. A cool slice of Texas Americana. Totally worth the time!
