5.00I’ll be back soon. I had no idea, there is so much to see. I will have to go on a self paced tour to see everything that I want to see.
Worth seeing

5.00Worth seeing. Get to see Apollo 13 movie on the ride there and back. Driver was great. Not sure the tour guide was worth the extra money. She really didn't pay attention to our small group. We couldn't find her at first, because she was eating breakfast. She seemed confused on how to get us on the tram tours, so we almost missed some interesting things.
Great experience

5.00Transport right on time! Driver (Mr Mike) was very informative and friendly. 5 hours went so quick! Make sure you don't leave Independence Plaza your last port of call as you may run out of time!

5.00The Control Centre for the Apollo 11 landing on the moon was outstanding and a must do. You need to pay for the experience but it rounds off a great place to visit.
Great option.

5.00Uber wanted to me charge me $40 one--way! NASA wanted to charge me $30 for the ticket! No way, Jose! Saved over $50 with this option, got a list of top exhibits and tours inside, and great comfortable driver that didn't rush us. This is the ONLY way to get to NASA right if you don't own a vehicle
NASA done easy

5.00This was perfect and easy way to arrange our visit to NASA. The drivers were so nice and kind. They gave us a printed guide to know what to do and what tram tours to sign up. The buses were clean and comfortable
Mike was awesome 👌🏻 (shuttle driver)

5.00You have to be ready to walk; better bring a stroller for the little one and eat well before arriving.

Sad

3.00The guide had no ID and looked like one of guests. Spoke to a few people only, so could not make out what she was saying. Did not introduce herself. Except for one, all tram tours was fully booked. Going through a tour company should at least guarantee you the free tram tours .
