Beautiful river ride! - Caden and Matt were amazing tour guides - so friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. We loved seeing the beauty of the Brazos and it was such a relaxing and enjoyable 2 hours. It was also my first Dr Pepper float and it was delicious! Thanks for making our trip a special one!

Time of our lives - We booked this trip as a team outing. I have done several of these boat tours in various cities and Matt and Jeremiah were hands down the best tour guides. They made sure to add a personal touch by remembering all 11 of our names. The story telling and level of engagement from them make the whole experience a memorable one. The sweet treat was an added bonus. I left the boat super relaxed. I will definitely do this again next time I am in Waco!

A Must For Visitors of Waco - The Sunset Cruise was an incredible experience. Captain Jesse & 1st Mate Caden were a great combo. They had great personalities & were super knowledgeable about the history of Waco. The river had lots of interesting features & kept us engaged the entire time. One of the best river cruises we’ve experienced!

Amazing experience! - Best way to learn about Waco! Had big expectations but CJ and Shannon far exceeded them. Everyone on the boat enjoyed the tour, learned a lot about Waco’s history, and even enjoyed a tasty treat. This view of Waco is second to none and made even better by an amazing tour.

Great sunset tour - This was a delightful respite for the entire family to learn more about a town that I drive by all these years and had no idea of the rich history and context. The river itself is wide and deep and has many pathways and I was intrigued by the geography and the landsape. The boat operator and tour guides were fantastic and put their heart and soul in it. I am so glad we did this trip and would actually do it again.

Captain Brad and Caden's show. - This was a fun and informative cruise. Captain Brad makes the best Dr Pepper floats and and great stories. Caden tells some love stories that will melt your heart or the ice cream in the Dr Pepper floats. I felt like I was at the Brad and Caden comedy show with historical facts mixed in. My wife and I had a wonderful time and would do it again. Thanks Captain Brad and Caden for an enjoyable trip...
