Per one customer who booked the Kennedy Space Center with Transport from Orlando and Kissimmee, "Great all-day experience with many hands-on interactive activities for people of all ages.  Bring a jacket, it was very chilly inside many of the exhibit halls.  Maurizio was an amazing guide - giving extremely helpful advice on how to get the most out of the day!!  Our driver took us through busy city traffic with ease!  Thank you for a great day!"
