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.

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

Excellent Tour and highly recommend. The team at Houston City Tours LLC were all excellent, knowledgeable and friendly. Gemma at front desk was lovely and welcoming and explained all the tour options well. I had elderly parents with me and they were very accommodating. The city tour and NASA was a great option as enabled us to explore Houston efficiently in the 1 day we had available. NASA was great. I can highly recommend using Houston City Tours LLC as everyone and all the organization very professional. Thank you.

We enjoyed the space centre but the city tour was in a double decker bus that was overdue for an upgrade. There was no aircon downstairs and upstairs had minimal shelter, just a piece of shade cloth which only covered about a third of the roof. Staff in the tour centre were lovely and made us feel welcome.
