Guide Carmen and driver Carlos accompanied us from our hotel to the space center, with sympathy and professionalism. The space center tour is really interesting... You really discover and see developments on Space Trips. You see pieces of the moon, you can even touch it😁. There are all the useful services, you can also have lunch, nothing ... But the day goes by quickly... You can hardly see everything unless you organize it well. Beware that it could be very very hot, you definitely need hat and sunscreen. We also met an astronaut, interesting experience... It simply made us understand an incredible world, truly exceptional everything they could achieve .. Absolutely Recommendation. Thank you.

Very nice discovery of the Kennedy Space Center, I highly recommend going for a tour. I was in Orlando so 1 hour from the location, it was really convenient. You have very good comments during the bus journey which is relatively quick. Looking forward to going back there one day. In addition, it is very nice to see the rocket launches generally by SpaceX. I couldn't believe I finally discovered this magical place full of history. Go for it !!
