About: Waco Sightseeing Tour
Waco is a must on any tour of Texas. From Cameron Park hills to the Magnolia Market at the Silos, this town is an incredible destination. Our excursion will take you to the cultural and historic district that extends from Austin Avenue through Elm Avenue and across the mighty Brazos River. We will visit the legendary Suspension Bridge, a few of the sites from TV that put Waco on the map, and explore the hidden gems that make Waco unique.
What to expect? This is a full-day excursion, Waco is about one and a half hours from Dallas or Fort Worth (it could be a little longer with traffic). The perfect time to start the tours is in the morning. When we arrive in Waco we will stop at the Magnolia Market for a couple of hours to give you time to explore the stores, shop, and have lunch (food trucks are the best in Waco), whether you want a burger, a sandwich, a salad, tacos, hot dogs, a gourmet grilled cheese, coffee, juice, or a pizza... this is the place for you. After the Magnolia Market stop, we will continue our journey thru Downtown on our way to Cameron Park.
