Fantastic 5.0

I'm Japanese. Access to NASA for a personal trip is difficult, so this tour, which included transportation and tickets, was excellent! I received a reminder message before departure, and in the shuttle, we were given tickets with recommended spots. During the round trip, we watched APOLLO 13, which really built up the excitement. And Space Center Houston was even more amazing than I imagined. I booked this tour for two days, and on the first day, we did the tram tour, and the next day, we explored the indoor exhibits. We had a very fulfilling time and I'm so glad we visited. It's a spot I wholeheartedly recommend. Group size: 2 people
