Awesome 1-hour tour. Two minutes from Jefferson's downtown, this is a must-do boat tour for locals and tourists alike. My family loves taking this tour every time we visit Jefferson, especially when bringing family and friends who are visiting. The boat is covered and the captain of the boat provides history of the area and river during the boat ride, all at a fair price. Definitely recommended for all! read more

Great time! John was fabulous. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. A fabulous way to see a slice of Texas history. We had fun!

This tour was awesome. Very informative and not too long, not too short. Definitely worth the 10 dollars. Also, the guide knew a lot about the local history and was glad to share during the cruise. Also impressed with the fact that he took our word for it that we would be back to pay him. I didn't have any cash and he does not take debit/credit cards. We shopped the rest of the day and stopped back by his place on our way back home to give him our money. Thanks again Capt. John Nance. read more
