Well worth the visit

Transportation was on time and efficient, good communication. Well worth the extra for a guide - learnt so much and Meredith had a personal connection so got so many extra insights. Did get a very last-minute notice of a change of time due to off peak policy which we were not expecting.

Awesome experience!!!

Our driver Edgardo was on time, he was very approachable and brought good vibes throughout our trip. He explained very well everything that we need to know about the entire tour.

Space Center

The communication wasn’t good, esp. returning. We all were told to meet at 3. Then the driver said he had to wait until 3:45. We could have done a tour but we passed it up bc it would end at 3:10. There were other people on the shuttle who had it worse. They bought an extra ticket for a tour and didn’t get to go. They did get a text but again miscommunication. A lot of us were waiting to leave at 3:00 even the ones who didn’t get to go on the extra tour, or whatever problem they had. One person even got thrown off the shuttle bc he gave up the extra tour so he could make it back to the 3 PM shuttle bc he had somewhere to be. The driver said he had an attitude, but that was before he didn’t realize we didn’t know we weren’t leaving at 3 anymore it was 3:45 no matter what. It was just the fact they could have text all of us. The ones who bought extra tickets thought there was going to be another shuttle for them. My dad and I, and whoever didn’t get extra tickets didn’t get a text saying we would leave at 3:45. We could have enjoyed at least 30 more minutes of the museum.

Communication mishap.

Everything was excellent except for the poor communication regarding pick up time. Because some people were reserving tours that made them late for the shuttle everyone else was expected to wait.
