A great place to visit

4.00A really enjoyable day at the Kennedy Space Centre, although a long one at around 11 hrs including pickups and drop-offs. Booking process was relatively straightforward with good and regular email communication before the trip. The day before the trip there was a very helpful text message confirming pick up arrangements. Driver and guide were both good and helpful. Only negative was the time at the venue at 7hrs was a little too long, unless this is your area of specific interest. Perhaps 5 to 6 hrs at the venue would be around right.
Well worth the trip!!

5.00I to my son to to Orlando for his 13th birthday and debated if I should rent a car or should shuttle to KSC. So glad we opted for a guided shuttle; Bob made the ride to KSC SO much fast and more enjoyable.
Space shuttle WOW

5.00A great day out to see spaceships. Sharif the driver and Bob the guide were excellent. Bob gave us an envelope with really useful information on how to plan the day and get the most out of the visit. We did the hop on hop off bus ride first on entering the centre and even saw alligators and a bald eagle nest during our tour. The Atlantis experience is amazing and you get up close to see the space shuttle in all its glory. Lots to see and plenty of time to do it before returning to the bus. Food and drink at the centre are expensive as you’d expect at any attraction. Would recommend this trip and using Grey line tours. Very professional staff and comfy coaches.
Many Interactive Activities for All Ages

Maurizio was an amazing guide - giving extremely helpful advice on how to get the most out of the day!! Our driver took us through busy city traffic with ease! Thank you for a great day!

5.00Kennedy Centre amazing! So informative & so much to do & see, the day went so fast!. The coach tour guide though spoke so fast that you couldn't understand him! He was repetitive said there was a launch that day & there wasnt! He did apologise on return trip though. Seemed to like the sound of his own voice, could just have said about different things & then you make your own choice, which is what we did! But space station is definitely worth a visit!
Friendly entertaining professional, highly recommend VIP tour add on getting much closer to launch pads

5.00We are a family of four from Australia who really enjoyed this tour. Brad our tour guide was fantastic. He was very organised and knowledgeable and gave us many useful tips to help organise our day efficiently which enabled us to see many exhibits and enjoy many rides. Brad was also very proactive in facilitating our tour group to watch a SpaceX rocket launch which was a first-time experience for most of us! Thank You Brad and Viator for this great tour!
