5.00It was fun. I went on two tram tours. The first was the Astronaut Training Facility Tour, and the second was the NASA campus tour. The teller prepared these two when I asked for recommendations. It's fun for one person and fun for the whole family (especially the little ones).
Unorganized Trip Resulted in Missed Experience

1.00The trip was not organized properly. It was a Saturday, and they should have known there would be a rush. However, they scheduled the city tour first and only dropped us at NASA by 11:30 AM. By then, all the tram tours were fully booked, and there was no availability for the rest of the day. It ended up being a complete waste of a trip for us. We had to pay out of our own pocket and visit again the next day. I strongly feel that we should be refunded for the poorly planned experience.
Don’t expect any support from Viator or tour operator

1.00Lost $200 USD booked but needed to change date. Very poor response from Viator and No real response from operator. Only time I have ever asked for support and no support. I will NEVER use Viator or Houston City tours again. Recommend you don’t either.
It was okay

Space Center and Houston City Tour

4.00We did not get to the center until afternoon and only had two available tours--the Astronaut Training Facility and the campus tour. The campus tour was somewhat of a repeat of the same ride from the training tour. Probably if you want to do more than two tours, you'd need to do only that and not combine the space center with the city tour.
