Smooth to and from travel...

Smooth to and from travel and the time alloted was okay for most of the activities at the JSC. An hour longer would have been better to squeeze in a film.

Convenient shuttle but 4 hours at the space center is not enough

This is strictly a ride and a ticket (driver does not provide information like another review mentioned). Arrived at the space center at 10:45 am, left at 3:10pm. 4 hours is not nearly enough time to do everything so prioritize. We found the campus tour to be a waste of time. The training center tour is packed, you won’t see what’s being described if you’re in the back. So do that first or be near the front of the tram so you’re in the building first. The 50 min movie narrated by tom hanks was good, but there are several shorter movies too. Lots of good exhibits, not enough time for all. Took 35 mins there and 45 min back. If you want more time at jsc, renting a car for the day might be cheaper than uber there and back.

Great

This is a must when visiting Houston.. NASA Space Center is just incredible.. and having a van take you there and then pick you up is fabulous

Nice Space Center experience

Very punctual and reliable, friendly with customers but difficult to accomplish the whole experience if you take both tours (Campus tour and Astronaut training tour) since the timing conflicts, we couldn’t take the movie either Tom Hanks :(
