Transport right on time! Driver (Mr Mike) was very informative and friendly. 5 hours went so quick! Make sure you don't leave Independence Plaza your last port of call as you may run out of time!

Great experience traveling from downtown Houston to Johnson Space Center. They arrived 10 minutes early and all the guests were there, so we left timely. Same for the return trip. And the tour company sent reminders, so no chance of forgetting or confusion.

Exceptional tour.

Jenny_T, Mar 2026

Our tour guide Meredith made our tour so interesting. She shared her in-depth knowledge and showed excitement and enthusiasm. It was great to learn about the whole space process from someone who knows.

Tour shuttle to Johnson Space Center

Driver was very pleasant...

BOB_C, Mar 2026

Driver was very pleasant and professional. Space center was fascinating. I liked the fact I could set my own pace.

I felt like a kid again, I will be back very soon

Jerome_S, Feb 2026

I’ll be back soon. I had no idea, there is so much to see. I will have to go on a self paced tour to see everything that I want to see.

Worth seeing

Randy_H, Feb 2026

Worth seeing. Get to see Apollo 13 movie on the ride there and back. Driver was great. Not sure the tour guide was worth the extra money. She really didn't pay attention to our small group. We couldn't find her at first, because she was eating breakfast. She seemed confused on how to get us on the tram tours, so we almost missed some interesting things.

Great experience

My husband is a NASA fan and this was the ultimate experience for him. Recommend it for anyone but particularly space fans

Mike was awesome 👌🏻 (shuttle driver)

Claudia_S, Oct 2025

You have to be ready to walk; better bring a stroller for the little one and eat well before arriving.

The public transportation...

Huan_G, Oct 2025

The public transportation to NASA is not available at weekend. This tour is very suitable for people need a ride.

Adriana_M, Sep 2025

We enjoyed the amazing history, it was a great experience. I recommend this place for a must visit while in Houston

Excellent drivers

Cynthia_B, Aug 2025

Great experience, I would recommend these drivers to anyone, we were able to get right through at the space center, he was very informative and also got us tickets to places. Vanessa was the same, she kept her cool in nasty traffic and easy to talk to.

Great Experience!

Pamela_S, Jul 2025

Tour operator picked us up on time at the appointed location and got us to the Houston Space Center safely and on time. We had 5 hours to explore, which gave us plenty of time to do what we wanted. Thanks for a great time!

Great experience with perfectly organized transportation.

Erik_K, Jun 2025

Everything is excellent! Transportation is perfectly organized and the exhibition ist great. Its worth to follow the drivers suggestion of taking the tram tours as they allow to see much more of the area, including the impressive Saturn V rocket. A great experience!
