Great tour experience!!!
belindasJ7186GQ, October 2026
Our Tour guide was great and she was really friendly and knowledgeable of the area since she grew up there.. She stopped at several Fixer Upper home featured from the show and we got out and went inside to see in person all the Fixer Upper details that were made… She also took us through the area to to see the Magnolia production building and other highlights in the area ..Most of the houses are of course older now since the show originally aired so Just FYI.. Overall I would recommend..

A day full of Waco!
Compass285041, October 2026
My husband and I had only one day to spend in Waco and we wanted to make the most of it so we booked this tour. Danielle was friendly, personable, knowledgeable, and engaging. We saw so much of Waco that we would never have seen on our own. She shared a bit of the history of Waco and answered all of our questions. We were fortunate to be able to enter "The Three Little Pigs" house. The highlight of the tour for us was stopping at the 1928 Hotel. What a gem in the middle of town! We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Waco!

Our tour guide showed us around Waco and told us about the history and we saw several of the Fixer Upper renovations. We were even fortunate enough to be able to go inside one of them.
