Fantastic tour - Seeing rocket park & all the hands on displays inside the space centre. Everything was really brought to life & have you a Birds Eye view of what life is life on a shuttle as well as a space station.

Fun! Don't force the pictures. - You all did a great job explaining the city and really took care of the customer. Only things I wish I had not done is take a picture in which I felt it a requirement. You should present it as an option. Please do not use my picture for any social media without my written consent. That's the only draw in an otherwise great experience. Thanks for being punctual.

Love the tour! - The trip was excellent! The Driver for the city tour was very friendly and really gave us a lot of historical information. Javier the driver to the NASA Center was really nice and friendly as well as the staff of the tour information center. We arrived on time and left on time. Is a 9:00 to 4:30 tour. Follow the instructions from the staff of the tour. Do the tram tours first. Don’t underestimate the time. There’s a lot of information and things to see, but if you want to do trams ask for the last tours departure so you don’t miss them. Love the center. It was a great trip!

Summer holiday 2024 - One of our destinations this year was Houston Texas. This was a family holiday and we had a lovely day with a sightseeing tour and a visit to NASA space station. What a fantastic day and host.

Nice experience but no comparison to Florida - Probably the only thing you can really recommend in Houston. The terrain isn't that big, all doable in one day.
