Meredith was a fantastic tour guide and helped make our NASA trip an informative and fun one! Would strongly recommend taking the tour with her.

Our guide was polite, but I felt inexperienced in addressing and controlling a large group. It was difficult to hear what she was saying at times during the tour. It would help if a microphone and ear pieces were used. Perhaps these devices are banned at the Space Centre as no one was using them?

As the weather was poor the outdoor exhibits and tour was cancelled. The tour guide appeared to be disorganised and unsure of what to do. People spent a lot of time standing around doing nothing. I would think that you would have a back up plan, appreciate that the weather is out of your control but that is not a good excuse. It was a waste of half a day really. I actually think there should be a refund.

My family and I are very disappointed with this tour. We paid $300 for this experience, and we could have had the same experience by visiting the space center without a guide (likely a better experience as we would have time to read the plaques and learn from the exhibits rather than follow our guide around and wait to see if he would provide relevant information). While very pleasant, our guide Eddie did not provide a comprehensive learning experience. He gave only superficial information with multiple flaws and inaccuracies. It felt poorly planned and he was difficult to follow. It felt more like an elementary school tour. Also, we waited an hour in the food court while he tried to get us tickets for the tram tour (which was kind of him to wait for us), though this should have been pre booked due to the price of the tour. We were also unable to access the training facility tour.
I would suggest you attend on your own. I have booked tours with Viator in the past that were at a much higher level than was provided with this experience.
Other than that, our tour was on time and our driver Mike was excellent. It was well organized up until we entered the space center.

We were on time! When we arrived at NASA, the tour expert was a woman to take over guide tour. She said something shortly about reservation for group, but she did not go at the end of line or count people in the group or check if everybody in the group was there. She ended up left me & my daughter behind. She did not forget her coffee or smoothie drink but she left us out of the group!!! I took a lot of tours in New York, Montreal-Quebec, none of the tour guide left us as we were always on time. The security just took a lil longer to check my bag, and she did not wait for us extra 2 minutes??!! (There was a family the husband was late 10 minutes before the shuttle left, and they waited for him!!!) Everybody else in the group got to experience campus tour except 2 of us. Luckily, I located 2 guys from our group and they showed us email they received about tour details, so I knew we supposed to leave by 3pm. I did not receive email about tour details. Never never book tour with this company!!! For NASA, Houston city pass & Lyft or Uber drive would be cheaper than this company!!!

If you love space exploration, you will love this tour and the guide, Meredith, who has a lifetime of knowledge about NASA. You will not have time to see everything on the tour so plan an extra day to walk through the exhibits at your own pace.

Lots of things to see and do. Take time to see an astronaut speak and go to rocket park. Space exploration is fascinating from a lot of different angles. Merideth was our tour guide and she was very amazing and passionate about her family legacy at the Space Center.

We had an amazing experience. Vanessa is a fabulous tour guide and our driver went out of his way to get us back in time to so we could walk to the stadium to watch the Astros/Yankees game
Steve_F, Apr 2026
This was a very well organized tour. Had a driver take you to the space center within had a guide to take you through. There's a lot to see and do and for your first visit it's great to have a guide. They will know things like whether there's an astronaut giving a talk that day and making sure you get there on time. I would highly recommend this trip as well as this company.

Excellent trip - Meredith was our guide and she was great ! Very knowledgeable from personal family experience of NASA - highly recommend!
Rae_J, Apr 2026
Quite a bit of walking although there is a tram that takes you to various locations on the space campus, there’s still quite a bit of walking depending on what you want to see. We learned so much about the history of space exploration and the people involved. Our tour guide had inside knowledge as her father worked at the space center for 37 years! I feel I need to return as there is SO much to look at, read, watch, and one day wasn’t enough!
Jane_N, Mar 2026
Fantastic tour couldn’t fault anything. We would have missed loads without this tour so very grateful.
Susan_P, Mar 2026
Victor was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable, kind and inclusive. Michael the tour bus driver was friendly and kind.
The communication via text, for and during this tour was excellent
Would highly recommended this tour.

Ask for Meredith the tour guide. She was amazing her dad worked for NASA and told some wonderful stories.
glwhitt, Jan 2026
It was great, very interesting .The tour guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. A local asked me how we booked the tour. Sometimes you don't know what is in your backyard.
Gloria_K, Jan 2026
It's a must do with guide! Our guide Victor, was exceptional. Really enjoyed it. The other lady guides also made the experience great.
Laura_S, Dec 2025
I thought it was a great tour worthy the cost. I chose the guided option and Meredith , our guide , was truly great. From the moment we jumped on the bus she started to give us information and history so she made even the ride very interesting. She knew a whole lot about it and i truly belive is a tour to be done while in Houston.
Amanda_R, Nov 2025
Really great and informative lots of information given and all questions answered. Meredith with her inside knowledge gave us a lot of information that we probably would not have seen or heard of. It was a great day out with plenty of time to do all we wanted.
Tonia_J, Oct 2025
Vanessa was a knowledgeable tour guide. Very friendly and we got to see off the beaten path locales in Houston and of course the iconic WE LOVE HOUSTON image
Michael_F, Sep 2025
The guide was great and provided a good initial overview of the city! Having never been to Houston before, this was the perfect initial tour.
Ashley_A, Jul 2025
Vanessa was great! The tour was packed with information, but never got dry. I’ve never been to Houston and this was the perfect way to get a little exposure to a wide range of things it has to offer! Will definitely recommend to friends and family.
William_H, Jul 2025
Very informative and educational experience. Was really impressed to learn where everyone was during the day in the city. This tour is a muct
Fadjana_J, Jul 2025
This was such a fun experience. Although it rained hard during the excursion, Vanessa still did her best to make it enjoyable. We got to see some nice areas around downtown Houston and some excellent recommendations were made for further exploration and dining. Vanessa was awesome.
Sandra_N, Jun 2025
It was a great tour of the city of Houston for the first time visiting. Our tour guide Venessa was great and very informative
Pamela_W, Jun 2025
Vanessa was great! We enjoyed her personalization of the history. She was attentive, courteous, and professional. I would definitely recommend for family, couple, or solo travelers!
SusyL_W, Jun 2025

Laverrl_D, Apr 2025
Very informative trip driver and guide Vanessa were great would recommend this tour to visitors of Houston
Christopher_H, Feb 2025
Vanessa was an absolutely amazing tour guide - so fun and full of knowledge and passion for Houston. Loved all the stops we made for photos and exploring - highly recommend this tour to help familiarize yourself with the city. Vanessa and our friendly driver gave us lots of great recommendations for spots to visit, transportation as well as dining. I felt like I knew the city and my way around by the time we were done, and I’m excited to come back and explore more! Great value and great tour!
Loretha_B, Feb 2025
It was fun and exciting trip. The guide knew all the history and explain everything to us. She was able to answer any questions we had.
