It was very informative. I especially liked the stop at Lover's Leap. The driver was very friendly and nice.
Very colorful. much better than expected
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.
We were particularly surprised and happy to go inside a couple of properties that had been remodeled by Chip and JoAnn. Of course we also loved hearing the stories about all of the renovated sites and landmarks of the tour. I felt that our driver was very knowledgeable about Waco. Okay
Very informative especially about the fixer upper’s with Chip & Joann Gaines. Tour guide was excellent!
The guide was pleasant and knowledgeable, and I enjoyed meeting and chatting with the other people on the tour, but it was a lot of riding around town...two hours...with not a lot to see for that amount of time. It felt like mostly we were between sites. The most interesting part was when we stopped and got to go inside Hotel 1928. It's beautifully done. My advice would be to skip the tour and just go on your own to see Hotel 1928.
This was a nice short drive to the tour spot. It was a fun and interactive tour. Very educational as well. I enjoyed the time spent with the group who attended the tour with me,
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour! Our guide, Danielle, was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and easy to talk to. We loved that she was born and raised in Waco. Her local insights and stories made the experience even more special. The tour was a wonderful addition to our Waco visit, and we’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
