Amazing!!

Amazing! We did a trip for 10 to the Johnson Space Center with Greg from Houston yesterday and it was flawless. I can't recommend them enough. The stop for BBQ at Ruby's was yummy delicious. Thanks for making our visit memorable!

Nasa

Driver was exceptionally good/helpful and the NASA tour was so interesting! So many options! Mother had wheelchair and the staff was over and above helpful.

NASA tour

Smaller than the one in Florida but just as interesting. Maybe for the train tour it would be useful to have multilingual headphones for foreigners because you understand little and badly when they speak into the microphone. The restaurant part is phenomenal with a wide choice. To get there we made a bit of effort because the GPS indicated the working NASA. Many parking spaces available. I recommend doing everything in advance, you get in quickly.

Intense experience

It’s quite an interesting experience for those who are struck by the special trips, from the whole visit what I liked the most was seeing the original rocket they used in the Apollo missions.

Such a well planned tour, really worth doing when visiting Houston

I booked this a month beforehand and so glad I did. We paid a little more for pick up from Galeria area, our guide collected us exactly on time in a comfortable 8 seater mini bus. The first hour or so is a very informative tour , starting on the outskirts where there are large properties to admire then moving to the downtown area . Our guide pointed out all the main sights and attractions and explained how to use transport systems and underground subways to reach different areas. He also had recommendations for places to eat. After this part there was a 30 minute drive to the NASA centre. There we exited the mini bus and the guide gave us our entrance ticket and told us how best to plan the visit which lasts approx 4 hours. There was so much to see , Space centre , astronaut training, space shuttle, history of race to the moon, future missions to name a few. The mini bus collected us afterwards and returned us to our hotel. We made sure to eat a good breakfast as it's not really worth eating in the cafe, there are burgers etc but expensive and better to use the time looking at exhibits. In the mini bus we were supplied with small snacks and water. There was a bag search as we entered the NASA centre, bottled water was allowed but our guide advised leaving sharp objects including selfie sticks with him , in case of confiscation. There were plenty of restrooms in the Centre , the mini bus did not stop for breaks in the first 2 hours so you need to be comfortable with that if planning to book. One more point, part of the tour at the NASA centre was on an open sided tram so take waterproof clothing if rain is forecast.
