Unfortunately the way this tour is structured means you see the city in the morning and by the time you get to the Space Centre (around 12:15pm) and start lining up in queues that are 100m long, the only part of the space centre you can tour is the space park which houses 2 old rusted rocket relics and one big old Spaceship in a shed. Very underwhelming for the effort and cost. The space training facility tours which apparently are the highlight of the Johnson Space Centre get booked out super early - so by the time you arrive you’re out of luck and your only option is to view the boring space park which you line up for around 1hr for. I’m dumbfounded why this tour isn’t reconfigured so the space centre was in the morning and city tour in the afternoon.

We really enjoyed the space centre. Coming from Australia is was great to see all the displays and learn so much we didn’t previously know.

The driver was very friendly. Unfortunately it was not a great experience. She spoke to the group (of all adults) as if we were very early elementary school students (education level and the tone/pitch of her voice), so the knowledge shared was surface level at best. She would make little sound effects during her descriptions that made you feel like you were watching a tv show for pre-school students… I would recommend a private tour if you want a educational experience and details of the actual history about the area. Once you get dropped off at nasa, you are on your own with the standard nasa staff. In this scenario, we were thankful for that because we were tired of being talked to like little children from the tour guide. However, I’d recommend a private/VIP NASA tour as well if you are not already super into that stuff. I’d have love to have someone to walk around with and get more in depth with some of the experiences.
