Too much Space

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.
