Where to Cruise: the 6 Best Sunset River Cruises in the USA

1.Sunset River Cruise: #1 in the US

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 799 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) Our pick

Review the Waco sunset river cruise on the Brazos, with Baylor views, Waco history, small groups, refreshments, and practical booking tips.

“Matt and Leah were great. The tour was educational, scenic and fun. This was a last-minute choice for us at the end of a long road trip and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. You get more than your money's worth. I highly recommend this tour. I wish they would publicize this and other tours more as I'm sure many people are missing some very good things.”
