The open air bus tour of downtown Houston was fun. The weather was very comfortable and the sites to view were interesting. I would've liked more interaction with the driver (to be able to ask questions). Also, the timing of description of sites was off a bit sometimes. But, again, it was fun. The NASA part of the tour was on a different bus. It was nice in that our tickets were provided for us and we could venture around NASA at our leisure (up until we had to catch the bus back to our car in downtown Houston). I would recommend both tours.

Kids and adults had a great time! I think adults enjoyed it more. Love walking through the space shuttle and other space program resources. Wish the tram was running, would love to see and hear more.

Was looking forward to the Houston city tour with the Space Centre transport included. In reality we were driven around the downtown skyscrapers, theatre & graffiti park. The tour audio was from a recording & several times brought up the wrong city info. Not very informative, nothing about the artists, nothing about what makes Houston tick, no stops for photos at any points of interst just constant driving. We swapped to a smaller van for transportation to the space museum no pre-info on how necessary it was to download the NASA app to pre-book the trolley tours. Our trolley tour was delayed & was 20mins out, leaving us 4 mins late to catch the minibus. They left without us, the was no contact number or email that worked. Took us an hour & half to get back into town.
