Amazing! We did a trip for 10 to the Johnson Space Center with Greg from Houston yesterday and it was flawless. I can't recommend them enough. The stop for BBQ at Ruby's was yummy delicious. Thanks for making our visit memorable!

NASA tour

Smaller than the one in Florida but just as interesting. Maybe for the train tour it would be useful to have multilingual headphones for foreigners because you understand little and badly when they speak into the microphone. The restaurant part is phenomenal with a wide choice. To get there we made a bit of effort because the GPS indicated the working NASA. Many parking spaces available. I recommend doing everything in advance, you get in quickly.

Grazie per aver condiviso. Pensiamo che sia una grande idea e la condivideremo con loro allo Space Center. Grazie per aver visitato Houston!

Intense experience

It’s quite an interesting experience for those who are struck by the special trips, from the whole visit what I liked the most was seeing the original rocket they used in the Apollo missions.

Operator response

Muchas gracias por su colaboración. La experiencia de la Nasa está mejorando cada vez más, ya que acaban de reanudar las operaciones normales allí desde la interrupción de COVID. Nos alegra que haya disfrutado de su visita al Space Center Houston.

Such a well planned tour, really worth doing when visiting Houston

I booked this a month beforehand and so glad I did. We paid a little more for pick up from Galeria area, our guide collected us exactly on time in a comfortable 8 seater mini bus. The first hour or so is a very informative tour , starting on the outskirts where there are large properties to admire then moving to the downtown area . Our guide pointed out all the main sights and attractions and explained how to use transport systems and underground subways to reach different areas. He also had recommendations for places to eat. After this part there was a 30 minute drive to the NASA centre. There we exited the mini bus and the guide gave us our entrance ticket and told us how best to plan the visit which lasts approx 4 hours. There was so much to see , Space centre , astronaut training, space shuttle, history of race to the moon, future missions to name a few. The mini bus collected us afterwards and returned us to our hotel. We made sure to eat a good breakfast as it's not really worth eating in the cafe, there are burgers etc but expensive and better to use the time looking at exhibits. In the mini bus we were supplied with small snacks and water. There was a bag search as we entered the NASA centre, bottled water was allowed but our guide advised leaving sharp objects including selfie sticks with him , in case of confiscation. There were plenty of restrooms in the Centre , the mini bus did not stop for breaks in the first 2 hours so you need to be comfortable with that if planning to book. One more point, part of the tour at the NASA centre was on an open sided tram so take waterproof clothing if rain is forecast.

Must do!

We had a wonderful tour with Greg! He was prompt, polite, and amazingly knowledgeable! We not only thoroughly enjoyed the NASA experience, but took Greg's advice on visiting other downtown Houston attractions and restaurants. Well worth the price!

Great tour guide, fantastic NASA experience

Greg, our tour guide, was absolutely amazing!! He picked us up at the exact time that was sent to us and it happened that no one else had booked the tour that day so we had the entire day to ourselves! He was so informative and gave us great advice as far as where to go and what to do while we were in town. The beginning of the tour was about 90 minutes of Greg driving us around Houston and showing us some of the city’s highlights and giving us a brief history of some of the city’s landmarks. We then left for the space center which was about a 25 minute drive. The space venter itself was absolutely awe inspiring. We had more than enough time to take the tram as well as explore the entire complex. Greg promptly picked us up at our prearranged time and we headed back to the city. This tour is a MUST for anyone in from out of town and wants to learn a little bit about Houston’s history and experience NASA. Thanks againnn

A unique experience and a highly recommended tour

This tour and especially the tour guide is highly recommended. We were picked up on time at the apartment and driven almost 2 hours through Houston to NASA Space Center. In addition to the ride, received useful and interesting information and tips for Houston. Furthermore, the tour guide provided important information for NASA Space Center that I do not take for granted. A map showing a recommended order of attractions. We were picked up again on time after just under 5 hours and dropped off at the apartment. Super preparation and execution.

NASA was a joy to visit mid-week in February! Our driver pointed out interesting sites and told many stories. The time went quickly! They willingly let us change our drop off site. Fantastic!

Gregg the Great!

Gregg picked us up from our accommodation in a fantastic and comfortable vehicle. The first part of the tour was Houston city and we got great tips and insight into the city. Gregg was so informative and we were particularly interested in the city's recycling scheme, which he was able to tell us all about. We got to NASA and the time we had there was literally perfect. We got everything done just before Gregg arrived to pick us up. Everything went perfect and i would recommend to everyone!! Go Gregg!!
