I felt too much time was given for the Space Center. Figuring out how to order food was a challenge since it had to be done by the kiosks in the center of the room. The kiosk was easy to understand. Too few kiosks in my opinion because we felt rushed with people waiting in line behind us.

The city tour from 10 to 11:15 showed the architectural highlights of Houston and some of the stories of its development. Fairly typical city tour. A bus brings the group to the NASA Space Center for a self-guided tour. It is difficult to take-in all that the Center has to offer in about 4 hours but but you have a chance to see most of it. I would have liked to spend a full day at NASA but this was the best compromise I could find for the price.

Good tour of downtown Houston, but it would be great if it was longer and went to areas like midtown and other places outside of just downtown Houston. otherwise, good tour. Space center is cool, but that part of tour is just transportation FYI. no commentary if you are expecting that.
