The driver Mr Anthony was very good. It’s stress free and helps cover the space center properly . The cost is less what you would pay if you go directly to the counter.

    Houston space center experience

    Thomas_D, Nov 2026
    Mr Mike was well informed with tips about the area, not just the destination! Recommended for the whole family.

    Lots to see, limited time

    Christopher_S, Nov 2026
    Get to guest services as quickly as possible to book the tram tours as can be difficult to fit in if you have a timed ticket for the mission control tour, If you go on the astronaut training tour be last into the building as the crowd is large and you move along the walkway quite quickly and exit a different way so you cannot backtrack and see what you missed by being moved along on entering the building. Time is limited. Use it well

    Response from Host, Nov 2026

    Dear Future Guests, Upon checking, this guest arrived at the NASA Space Center within 10 minutes of the front entrance gates opening and departed 30 minutes before closing time. For guests who want to take in the majority of the +400 things to see at the Space Center, we would recommend booking either our 2-day NASA Space Center Pass + Mission Control or at least 2 days of our NASA ticket/transport service as it would take about one (1) week to see everything in detail and with full understanding.

    Don’t ever use Viator again

    Dennis_R, Nov 2026
    I arrived at the meet up spot. I got on the bus after he checked me in once we arrived at NASA I was not given any tickets or anything I went. Thought I had my ticket on Viator and I tried to get into NASA. I couldn’t get in. I went over to guest service. They told me there was nothing they can do through third-party. I couldn’t get a hold of anybody through via tour. I finally got a hold of somebody through Astro Ville or something like that this Marianne lady where they were completely rude and disrespectful said they weren’t gonna give a refund I got to NASA it’s on me to figure out how to get into NASA and finally about an hour and a half. I got my ticket was finally able to get in. She finally emailed it to me after all sorts of Kia nonsense and I actually end up hung up on her and had to call back and talk to somebody else to get my ticket and get this dealt with and that Maryanne lady’s husband end up getting on the phone. It sound like she was working from home and got on the phone and cussed me out and told me I wasn’t getting a ride back to Houston. I’d have to find my own way back and it was just a horrible horrible experience. I had six hours to visit NASA. I only was able to do 4 1/2 hours and the tram tour ticket they gave me I wasn’t even able to do that because of the time that the difference that would’ve been from the tour to getting on the bus and then as I was going out there, I went and talked to the bus driver and he had my ticket all along and never gave it to me and so I said screw this and I end up taking an $80 Uber back to Houston. This was the worst experience in my life. I’m actually going to be canceling all of my Viator stuff that I have and never using Viator again after this experience.

    Excellent day . My advice...

    Excellent day . My advice would to pre book Mission Control tour as was busy, and plan your day so you enjoy all the exhibits and shows.

    Value for money

    Meeting Spot Confusion

    Duane_W, Sep 2026
    pick up place (800 Capital St) talks about meeting at a Mural. There is no mural ! It is a Art-deco Satute. Confusing but we figured it out

    Excellent day at NASA

    Sandra_W, Aug 2026
    As a solo traveler, I really enjoyed visiting NASA Houston. I was disappointed that the Mission Control tour was canceled due to circumstances beyond the operator's control, but the tour operator's communication before, during, and after the tour was excellent. They kept everyone informed and provided alternative options. The convenience of being picked up and dropped off in downtown Houston made the day so much easier. NASA itself was absolutely worth the trip, with so much to see that you could easily spend a full day there.

    Driver was late. We...

    Michelle_S, Jun 2026
    Driver was late. We could have used more time at NASA as we were not able to see everything that was available with our tickets.

    GERALD_H, Jun 2026
    Very easy pick up and drop off. Definitely take advantage of tram tours and movie/video presentations.

    Good Tips for the Trip.....

    Debra_T, May 2026
    Gets you out to the Space Centre without any stress, the driver will give you heads up information to get the best out of your trip.....worth listening to his suggestions, really helpful. Definitely a great way to get your trip off to the best start.

    Don't miss trip

    The virtual experience was amazing I love. Nasa is such a vibe. The organisers were excellent so caring ensuring you had the best of time.

    A great day in Houston

    Jason_K, Oct 2025
    We had a great time. The Houston city tour was wonderful and our Guide, Vanessa, was very knowledgeable. Being dropped off and picked up at the Space center made the day simple.
