2.00The Nasa trip was worthwhile but viator provided the wrong pick up Address in conflict with the message from the provider very confusing The city tour was not really a high point driving through masses of city buildings listening to a mon stop monologue of "huston exceptionalism" which could do with a little fact checking I also do not like a driver playing with her phoneas we drive

5.00This small group tour is excellent especially if you have limited time in Houston. Louis our tour guide/driver was seriously excellent, very knowledgeable, very accomodating and made our tour even better. He was happy to take photos of us, had information sent to us from his office for recommendations for sights and restaurants. I found the company had excellent communication confirming pick up time, place and person not once but twice during the day. The vehicle used was a lovely Mercedes van. It gave us enough time touring the city and also at the Space Center.
Great day

5.00$80 very well spent. I appreciated not having to spend $100 on a ride share application from hotel to the Space center. Everything was on time and well organized. The guides were pleasant and helped make a cool place like NASA even more enjoyable
lovely time in Houston

5.00Terrific guide services and excellent value. Van was 5 star, they played Apollo 13 on way to the Space Centre and provided great assistance with the trams. Best part was skipping the 100+ line at the entrance thanks to our pleasant driver Ben

5.00Great tips from Vanessa to explore Houston and great service. We didn't even have to wait at the entrance, she brought us in faster and already had the first tour on campus incl. tips ready. Super!

5.00If limited on time on Houston as I was there on a 3D image conference, this was the perfect option for us to be able to see different parts of the city and NASA all in one day!!! The tour covered beautiful areas of Houston including the Central Park, Harvard of Texas, Houston mansions, and art museum. We were then taken to NASA in a jumbo Mercedes shuttle with TV playing Apollo 13 and escorted into the Space Center by our Fabolous guide Vanessa. She helped us schedule the available tram tours since many in the group did not speak much English which I thought was so kind of her to do so. This was a economical and a GREAT experience overall for someone who just had a day to see what Houston is about
Fantastic Houston tour and trip to NASA

5.00We only had one day in Houston and wanted to see the Space Center before our cruise to Belize. Thankfully I found this terrific option as my husband said the transportation from our hotel and tickets to Space Center would have easily cost us over $200! The transportation and tickets are included with the tour package and you can enjoy relaxing ride with Apollo 13 showing. The driver Loui and the guide Julie were both fantastic and helpful! Julie gave us some great recommendations for seafood and attractions in Galveston. The space center itself is something you can’t miss if in Houston. We highly recommend this tour and service
Great value experience

5.00Wonderful experience and value. The transportation to the Space centre alone would have run us about $90. For that price, we got tickets, luxury transport and a free city tour. The guides were super knowledgeable and answered our groups questions about the space centre
