Hey, Astroville tours were amazing! Diana and Louis were awesome and made it a really great experience. - The guide for the tunnel tour Diana was fantastic, very knowledgeable, very friendly. She was a great guide around the tunnels and was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. It was lovely to see some of the history of Houston and some of the beautiful architecture. Louis took us out through Houston to NASA and was also brilliant. Knowledge of all about the different parts of Houston and the sites to see. Both were really friendly and welcoming. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Astroville tours if these two are typical of those who will look after you. It was fantastic. Thank you Diana and Louis. #tunneltour #houston #architecture #history #greatguides #fantastic #NASA #thankyou

Tunnel tour with NASA too - I had been on the Tunnel tour before but had family visiting me from BC and thought this would a great way to see NASA and the downtown tunnel system both on 1 trip. Saves you the headache of having to book multiple tours and having to drive out there too. Critical info: NASA tickets nd' transportation are both included with this option so there is NO need to purchase tickets before hands

Fan tunnel tour, great guide - Cannot rate this tour highly enough. My host Vanessa was absolutely fantastic, so knowledgeable about the tunnels and the downtown area of Houston. Because my group was very small (another group had cancelled I think), Vanessa suggested that we go to NASA first to beat the queues and then do the tunnels afterwards so this is what we did and it worked out perfectly. I saw some of the other feedback that the trams had sold out by the afternoon but I didn’t have this problem as we did NASA first. NASA is also a must see if you are in the Houston area. Overall fantastic trip highly highly recommend!

City Tour and NASA Shuttle - Found this to be an easy and stressless way to see some of Houston and the Space Centre. I thought the tunnels was pretty fascinating concept with Houston's weather. Our guides Brian and Vanessa were efficient and knowledgable as they come

Tunnel-Tour and Our Trip to NASA - Was impressed with this company's city driving tour which convinced me to book this newer touring experience. 0 regrets! Good value and enjoyable way to combine some downtown sightseeing with a visit to NASA. Between not having to worry about taking that long drive or traffic and having knowledgable guides, it was worth it. I think going to NASA mid-week made it less busy too

Space Center experience - The Houston underground was a neat place to visit before our trip to NASA. Felt like a sophisticated sanctuary for people to stay out of the Texas heat with mix of businesses, cafes, gyms, and medical offices. Wasnt all that busy since it was early but can imagine it get very crowded. We also learned about some beautiful architecture in the downtown. Our guide Julie was truly fantastic and a wealth of knowledge. Since NASA is about a 45 minute trip from center of Houston, we got to NASA at around 11 AM. For someone who remembers watching bits of the "Space race" as a kid, it was everything I could imagine, a bit overwhelming with info and artifacts from space. The best part of booking this was how convenient it was not having to worry about purchasing tickets and the extensive transportation required to get there. Our driver Lou was also knowledgable and gave us some good tips for NASA

Johnson Space Center - This company's service to NASA Johnson Space Center with a ticket and a tunnel tour was moneyed time well-spent. My wife and I were skeptical because of the product not having many reviews.... but just shows that its true when they say "don't judge a book by its cover". Our guide and driver both made the most of our time with them and even had an interesting film about a Houston legend for the shuttle rides. Getting to see the rockets with the park, training facilities, old space shuttles, and Johnson Space Center was a dream come true!!!!!! Felt like a little kid on Christmas because it was something I had always been meanin' to see in person but just never had the proper time on prior trips to Texas. The Tunnel tour was interesting because of the history and reasoning for the city always been relatively quiet on streets. I would say this Tour should be on everyone's list for things to do during their visit to Texas

Houston underground and our trip to NASA - Great tour guide. Seeing the system of tunnels that serves an underground city in downtown was interesting. The vintage BMW was awesome. Good photos. Our driver was equal to the task. Gave us a mini briefing of city as we left, got to see the Astros stadium and soccer arena. On the way back, we saw the basketball arena and cool park area. He definitely knew a lot about NASA and we found his information to be useful for our trip, I would recommend this tour a lot because it is a nice way to spend a day in Houston

Tunnels & Space Center tour - This was a cool 2 for 1 experience with a Tunnel Tour of the city center basically an underground shopping area for the business district. It was kind of hidden, and our guide was tremendously knowledgable. She even took a picture for us in front of the tallest building in all of Texas. The transportation going and coming back to NASA was very efficient and organized. Dan gave us some nice information heading out of city as well. It was a great combination of experiences

Great tour to do - We received all information beforehand and knew where to meet the tour guide. We did not know what to expect of the tunnel tour. It was a surprise to see a city below the city. Vanessa was our guide and gave a great tour. The Space center was also a must see. Very informative and a great way to spend your day
