Nasa is a must see

The tunnels were closed so I didn’t get a guided tour there. They were open so I was able to see some of the tunnels later on. The nasa tour was great!

Fantastic tour of Nasa and Tunnels back in Houston

Great communication from tour operator regarding the tour pick up point in Houston. Enjoyed the Nasa experience along with the 45 minute Tunnel Tour back in Houston - very informative guide.
