They are very organized. Explained everything very nicely. We were given even extra time. Very friendly.
Amazing service. Lots of texts sent on the day with helpful information. Great tour guide and driver - highly recommend to everyone and anyone
The tunnels were closed so I didn’t get a guided tour there. They were open so I was able to see some of the tunnels later on. The nasa tour was great!
Great communication from tour operator regarding the tour pick up point in Houston. Enjoyed the Nasa experience along with the 45 minute Tunnel Tour back in Houston - very informative guide.
Vanessa was absolutely tremendous and brilliant. One, if not the best tour guide I have ever had on any tour.
The tunnel tour had many fascinating insights into Houston’s history and architecture, all delivered with a fun and quirky twist. Our visit to the Space Center was just as impressive. Everything from the transfer to the entry was seamless and well-coordinated. We received some smart, time-saving tips that helped us make the most of our visit, and our return to Houston was right on schedule. All in all, this was one of the best day tours we’ve ever experienced—both informative and enjoyable.
The tunnels were the highlight of our day-tour. Visiting Nasa we knew it was going to be amazing. But wasn't expecting to learn and see so much about the Houston's historic tunnels. Such a good additional to the Nasa tour. Our guide Diana was so passionate about the tunnels and having her guiding us through was a blessing. After that we got to be dropped off at Nasa Center and an amazing experience. Make sure to book the Mission Control tour (add-on), it's worth it. The shuttle was clean and nice. We had a movie playing during the drive to and from Nasa.
Our Vanessa our tour guide was amazing and provided lots of helpful information for our tours. Everthing was on schedule and planned exactly perfect. The exhibits and tram service was great. Staff very friendly and helpful.
The Tunnel experience was so unexpected. A truly unique way of life for the people working in the Houston Financial District.
The underground tunnel tour was too long. Could have added more views around the city on way to and from NASA.
