This trip is worth for the money and time! Highly recommended.

The day started with the great office in downtown Houston. Houston city tour was fabulous. The city tour bus driver was amazing and detailed for explaining everything very well. After the City tour completed, the trip to NASA was very nice and had great trip to NASA. One thing we were not told about the control center for NASA trip requires a separate entry ticket (no cost) but it needs to be required when you have NASA ticket purchased. So in future the tours company should be purchasing block of tickets for their tourists so people coming from out of town do have that attraction available to visit at NASA. Lines were very very big so plan to go early in order to cover everything at NASA.

Rushed

I was not aware that this activity included a city tour before going out to the NASA space center. Consequently, I booked a Hop on city tour separately and could not get a refund when I asked for one. We could not use the Hop on City tour and so felt that we were cheated out of our money. The trip to NASA was great, but it felt rushed. There was not time to do all the tours available at the Space Center. If we had gone straight to the Space Center, instead of having the separate City tour first, we may have had more time available to us to see all the sights at the Space Center. Also, the Space Center is open later than our 4:30 pick up time, so I felt that we could have used a bit more time at that end as well.

Very professional, well organised tour

1. The city tour was great; the driver cum guide in the open bus was excellent with his narration. 2. The lady at the counter of Houston City tours was excellent with a personal touch from start to end. She gave us a good insight of how to go about once we were in the NASA premises. A visit to the NASA was a dream come true for me!
