Discover Waco in a way most visitors never do.
This top-rated experience goes beyond the typical Fixer Upper tour—blending iconic homes from the show with Waco’s rich history, local stories, and hidden gems you won’t find on your own.
See beautifully renovated houses made famous by Chip & Joanna Gaines, hear behind-the-scenes insights, and explore the heart of the city with a knowledgeable, engaging guide who brings Waco to life.
Along the way, you’ll visit landmarks, uncover surprising stops, and—when available—step inside a home featured on the show for an up-close look at the craftsmanship and design.
With a relaxed pace, small-group feel, and consistently 5-star reviews, this 2-hour tour is perfect for first-time visitors, fans of the show, and anyone who wants a deeper, more memorable Waco experience.

5.00We 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

3.00The 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.
Fun and Educational

5.00We 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.
