Traveler Reviews

Sitting in the mission control room gave me the goose bumps, just listening to astronauts voices as they spoke to President Nixon when they landed on the moon in 1969.

Good views from the upper deck of bus to tour around downtown. Went on a quiet Sunday so little traffic. Bus went slow enough to take good pictures. Travel down to NASA was quick in a smaller van. Great independent time to roam around and go on tram tours. On time pick up and home.

Had a good time although I wish I had time to take the tram ride, will try next time. Overall had a good time.

Well worth doing this tour. First part of tour was bilingual English / Spanish and gave us a great overview of Houston sites and history . Next segment of tour took us to Space Center where you had 4 hours to self-tour as well as schedule Tram Tour. We saw Mission Control and it was the highlight of our visit.

Very good expérience . We are happy to saw a lot of thing at the NASA The man who talked during the city downtown tour he talked very well. We understand very well.
