This tour again was excellent, we had a very knowledgeable guide and the visit to all the exhibits was brilliant. A great day again.

Brilliant trip. unexpected bonus when our tour took us into the vehicle assembly building for the first time in 40 plus years. This was a test run for a tour they hope to run latter if NASA approve. Only down to day was some concern re experience of bus driver eg park in wrong place , tickets not ready so time wasted but all round a great trip. lunch with astronaut was also fantastic. Drop off at end of day was painful and add.ed hour and a half to the day

A must trip. Lunch with.the astronaut was very interesting, however the trip out to the launch areas was a highlight. You will need the extra day if you want to spend more time at the apollo site and visit the hall of fame (not included with this trip due to time constraints). The transport company was only average. They were late (pick up was around 8.30) and they do nothing more than drive you there and back.

If you are a space enthusiast do this one. Guides are well read on the space program and this is the only tour that get's you up and as close as allowed to the launch pads. Would do it again, no hesitation.

Our trip was well-managed and professional from beginning to end. We were picked up right on time in a iconic Kennedy Space Centre bus. Our guide was personable and made sure we all knew where and when to meet, we had a very full day including a special and delicious lunch with an astronaut which will stay in our memory forever. The timing of the tour enabled us to see everything that was advertised and we were transported back to our chosen drop off in plenty of time to catch a nightime activity. Many thanks to Viator for a reliable and value-packed tour.

Our bus driver was 35 minutes late getting to Doubletree to pick us up. When when we arrived at KSC he was busy selling pop/water which again further delayed us enjoying KSC as he needed to give us different instructions as we had a different tour to KSC. Next there was a problem with a family not receiving tickets into the KSC again we were delayed entrance into KSC. All these delays, resulted in about 90 mins of us not being able to start our tour, which was very disappointing as KSC is huge and we missed out on many attractions.

One of the best tour guides ever. Bus was bright, shiny and new.

The bus was a little late and made too many pick ups on the way out the KSC but the driver was good, the centre was awesome and we had a great time.
