Houston's Ultimate: NASA Space Center & City Explorer Tour

We really enjoyed the excursion. the tour started in the downtown area of the Houston city. The narrator was very knowledgeable of the downtown area. We have been living in the city for almost a quarter century and did not know the saliant features of the downtown Houston.

Always something to learn. Should have allowed more time to see all the shows and ALL the exhibits. Outer space isn’t my thing but found many areas of interest.

The transport to Johnson Space Center was good the pick up location was handy and the driver was helpful and courteous. He made sure we were safe . The lady that checked us in made sure we knew where to go to get on the trams and other space center experiences. Personally I can’t walk for the 4 hours spent in the center but there was enough to keep me interested.

Ben and Yolanda and the other staff at the Houston City Tour company were friendly and knowledgeable. Ben, the tour guide, made jokes and helped ease any awkwardness from traveling with strangers can cause.

A great way to see downtown Houston.Excellent commentary from Ben who not only showed us the city the artwork and top spots but also explained a lot of the history of Houston and Texas. Recommend! Great wat to get out to Nasa after the tour as well.

NASA tour was kind of a let down. First, started 35 min late due to waiting on people to arrive that never came after being told to be there early like 9:30 for a 9:45 tour. Then told would not leave until 10 am. Finally left at 10:05 am and when got to space center was in a traffic jam due to a car accident at the entrance for another 15 min delay. Raced to get to tours with training center to be a letdown. Nothing to see but large metal testing pods and computers. Rocket center nice. Best part was talk with former astronut on space station. Huston city tour was nice with alot of info.

It takes a while to get to everything, but even if you don’t get to everything(I didn’t) the trip and experience is worth it. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable . I was greatly inspired by the space movies, especially the astronauts sharing their perspectives. Tram tours are great for getting around.

Great informative city tour, followed by transportation and entry to NASA. Does exactly as it says on the tin!

It was a wonderful experience, just a shame that we had an electrical storm on the day so our tours at the venue were re-scheduled and sadly we missed out on two of them. We had no idea the the tours were weather related so just a heads up if it looks like lightening then be prepared to maybe miss out on tours at Nasa...

Make sure you check out the details for the Mission Control tram tour. If not you may well miss out, it’s not that clear with the tour operators
