The tunnels were closed so I didn’t get a guided tour there. They were open so I was able to see some of the tunnels later on. The nasa tour was great!

Vanessa was absolutely tremendous and brilliant. One, if not the best tour guide I have ever had on any tour.

The tunnel tour had many fascinating insights into Houston’s history and architecture, all delivered with a fun and quirky twist.
Our visit to the Space Center was just as impressive. Everything from the transfer to the entry was seamless and well-coordinated. We received some smart, time-saving tips that helped us make the most of our visit, and our return to Houston was right on schedule.
All in all, this was one of the best day tours we’ve ever experienced—both informative and enjoyable.

The tunnels were the highlight of our day-tour. Visiting Nasa we knew it was going to be amazing. But wasn't expecting to learn and see so much about the Houston's historic tunnels. Such a good additional to the Nasa tour. Our guide Diana was so passionate about the tunnels and having her guiding us through was a blessing. After that we got to be dropped off at Nasa Center and an amazing experience. Make sure to book the Mission Control tour (add-on), it's worth it. The shuttle was clean and nice. We had a movie playing during the drive to and from Nasa.

Our Vanessa our tour guide was amazing and provided lots of helpful information for our tours. Everthing was on schedule and planned exactly perfect. The exhibits and tram service was great. Staff very friendly and helpful.

The Tunnel experience was so unexpected. A truly unique way of life for the people working in the Houston Financial District.
Billie_R, Jul 2025
The underground tunnel tour was too long. Could have added more views around the city on way to and from NASA.

Louie is an excellent tour guide. Highly recommend. Space shuttle trip and the driving trip afterwards.
Heather_B, Apr 2025
Pick up was efficient and timely. Journey to NASA was quick and we were told what to expect at the Space Centre. On arrival shuttle tickets were booked for us so that we didn't miss out on anything. We then did a self guided tour around the various attractions.
The tunnel tour on arrival back in Houston was very interesting and focused on two interesting characters from Houston's historical past whilst touring through the tunnels and viewing interiors of some historic buildings relating to these people.

The NASA space centre and tunnel tour was absolutely amazing , Vanessa our tour guide was attentive, very organised, had excellent communication skills and went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic experience. Going to space centre first was definitely a brilliant idea as it avoided clashing with large crowds building up and allowed us to get on the tram tours. Tunnel tour was informative and very interesting plus she even made an extra photo stop on the way back to Houston.
Well done Vanessa and 5 stars all round !

Vanessa is the perfect guide!
I reccommend you if you want to take the opportunity to visit Houston in a different way

We did not know that there were tunnels in Texas. We were amazed with the NASA space center. We were able to see a piece of history.
Adam_H, Oct 2024
Loved the tunnel and architecture tour. The rest was really transport to NASA, which would be super expensive without a car. A note about booking the Mission Control tour ($20 extra) that the organisers recommend - I chose 2PM, but then NASA guest services said I might not be able to go to the (free) astronaut training tour because of the timing. So i got a refund, but NASA kept the $5 admin fee. In the end, the training tour returned at 140, so I could have gone on both. Staff are very friendly.

Cannot rate this tour highly enough. My host Vanessa was absolutely fantastic, so knowledgeable about the tunnels and the downtown area of Houston. Because my group was very small (another group had cancelled I think), Vanessa suggested that we go to NASA first to beat the queues and then do the tunnels afterwards so this is what we did and it worked out perfectly. I saw some of the other feedback that the trams had sold out by the afternoon but I didn’t have this problem as we did NASA first. NASA is also a must see if you are in the Houston area. Overall fantastic trip highly highly recommend!
David_K, Apr 2024
We received all information beforehand and knew where to meet the tour guide. We did not know what to expect of the tunnel tour. It was a surprise to see a city below the city. Vanessa was our guide and gave a great tour. The Space center was also a must see. Very informative and a great way to spend your day
