The tour I actually took was ok and the driver was very nice and informed
Bill_M
, Sep 2021
Arrived at center for 9:00 AM tour. Received a phone call at 9:15 AM telling me that my tour had been canceled due to not enough people signed up for the tour. I am pretty sure that that was known long before 9:15 AM. Problem was it cost me $70.00 to get a ride from my hotel to the center. I was told I would receive a full refund for the tour. As of now have not seen that.

Too much Space
Robert_M
, May 2021
The total tour times was much too long. City tour did not have a lot of interesting sites. Space tour was not really a tour but van transportation to and from Space Center. The time allotted was close to double the needed time. Pick up was about 20 minutes late

Wouldn’t recommend
George
, Feb 2020
While the organisation was fine and the tour guide good I would not recommend this tour. The city tour doesn’t really cover anything that you couldn’t do with a short walk around downtown. But, my main issue with it is that because you don’t arrive at the space centre until after midday. For my trip (on a weekday not a weekend) this was too late to book onto a mission control team tour. This is the highlight of many people’s trips to the space centre so it was frustrating to miss it. Would suggest you rent a car or take an Uber instead.

The Houston Space Center is a must see; however, more presentations would enhance the experience. Do the Tram first. The City Tour was excellent. The presentator was on his game.
