Ben and Drake were tour guides EXTRAORDINAIRE! Knowledgeable about all things Waco, extremely personable, engaging and entertaining. A nice touch was the way they addressed the tourists by first name throughout the tour. We loved that there were some bathroom breaks, and a complimentary beverage. Also included were stops at Harp Design and an ice cream shop where we received a dish of complimentary ice cream. Two free photo ops were taken as well. We drove by approx 8 of Chip and Jo’s Fixer Upper homes. THE BEST TOUR OF WACO! Highly recommend!Cank27QLD27
