Our guide, Antonio, was great company! Friendly, helpful, funny, and informative. He gave us a great city tour of Houston. I enjoyed the architecture, history, cultural insights, murals, and more. It was beautiful weather, and we rode quite comfortably on the top deck of the bus. We stayed at the Embassy Suites hotel about a block away, which would have been easy walking distance to the tour starting point. Since we had a rental car, we found decent parking in the lot adjacent to the small coffee shop where the tour started. We paid for the parking using the QR code on the sign, about $12 for the day. The space center was crowded. It was the day before the 2024 solar eclipse. Only one tram tour was running - The Rocket Park. I wanted to see the training center but did not get to do that. The space shuttle was interesting. We got lunch there. Our food was tasty, fresh, and healthy. It was stated clearly in the tour info that lunch was not included. After the van ride back to the tour starting point, the small shop where we started was closed, so be warned - no bathroom access. If that is important to you, use the bathrooms at the space center before departing.

There aren’t enough words. Guide read from an iPad instead of having the trip in her brain. She was totally inept. Example - said astros won 4 World Series! Also, I was uncomfortable with her tapping iPad while she was driving. Had two passengers not going to space museum; going to Galveston! We were to go there Thursday - cancelled the trip I was the only passenger Not on the top deck so I could see everything. Used Viator with great success in the past. What happened?

I only can recommend this tour if you are visiting Houston! Tour guide was great and it was very interesting to learn all mentioned during the city tour. NASA site visit was great experience as well. Only thing which was not good communicated is the tram tour booking. There are three available out of which only one do not need to be booked earlier and that one had endless que line ahead. Anyhow, there's a lot to be seen and explored beside tram tours.
