I did the self-guided NASA Space Center visit with transportation provided by Zack. I was the only person for the day so we got to have some great yarns not just about NASA but also just about life here in Houston and where I am from in NZ. I would definitely recommend this experience - but I would suggest to book your extras in advance (like the trams at the Center that take you to see Houston control room and the Saturn V rocket etc!)
Space Center Houston, the Official Visitor Center of NASA Johnson Space Center, is Houston’s No. 1 attraction for international visitors and the first Smithsonian Affiliate in the greater Houston area.

Dan was amazing, we got clear directions to pick up point and we left on time and he came to pick us up on time. He gave us good advice on activities to do at the Space center. I would definitely recommend this tour especially if you’re not travelling with kids as 3-4hrs at the space center is sufficient to do everything.

Took the Fun Houston Tour and it was amazing. Four hours at NASA flew by—enough time to catch both the Mission Control and Training Facility tram tours. The mix of history, trivia, plus rocketry felt like the perfect pop‑culture meets science mash‑up. Great value, awesome guides—highly recommend booking early for tram spots!

We took advantage of the white tram ride and enjoyed the visit to Mission Control. The only negative is that NONE of the experience is planned to assist individuals with hearing impairment. It would be very simple to use whisper head sets for select individuals or provide captioning on the tram monitors for the tram talking. Similarly, inside Mission Control no accommodation is made for individuals needing hearing assistance. Hmm, also the movie in the main area (which is excellent) was not captioned either! NASA - you can do better with accommodations!
In the afternoon, we participated on the VIP astronaut training tour. This was fantastic and although steep in price, worth the unique experience. Alice was a superb guide... has incredible knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject. 10 star on this portion of the trip.

Alex was very communicative and gave some good tips to get around the huge museum. Everything was on the schedule, no waiting or inconveniences. The van was comfortable. Recommend.
