Private Space Center Houston-nasa Day Trip With Houston City Tour

Amazing! We did a trip for 10 to the Johnson Space Center with Greg from Houston yesterday and it was flawless. I can't recommend them enough. The stop for BBQ at Ruby's was yummy delicious. Thanks for making our visit memorable!

Driver was exceptionally good/helpful and the NASA tour was so interesting! So many options! Mother had wheelchair and the staff was over and above helpful.

I booked this a month beforehand and so glad I did. We paid a little more for pick up from Galeria area, our guide collected us exactly on time in a comfortable 8 seater mini bus. The first hour or so is a very informative tour , starting on the outskirts where there are large properties to admire then moving to the downtown area . Our guide pointed out all the main sights and attractions and explained how to use transport systems and underground subways to reach different areas. He also had recommendations for places to eat. After this part there was a 30 minute drive to the NASA centre. There we exited the mini bus and the guide gave us our entrance ticket and told us how best to plan the visit which lasts approx 4 hours. There was so much to see , Space centre , astronaut training, space shuttle, history of race to the moon, future missions to name a few. The mini bus collected us afterwards and returned us to our hotel. We made sure to eat a good breakfast as it's not really worth eating in the cafe, there are burgers etc but expensive and better to use the time looking at exhibits. In the mini bus we were supplied with small snacks and water. There was a bag search as we entered the NASA centre, bottled water was allowed but our guide advised leaving sharp objects including selfie sticks with him , in case of confiscation. There were plenty of restrooms in the Centre , the mini bus did not stop for breaks in the first 2 hours so you need to be comfortable with that if planning to book. One more point, part of the tour at the NASA centre was on an open sided tram so take waterproof clothing if rain is forecast.

We had a wonderful tour with Greg! He was prompt, polite, and amazingly knowledgeable! We not only thoroughly enjoyed the NASA experience, but took Greg's advice on visiting other downtown Houston attractions and restaurants. Well worth the price!

Greg, our tour guide, was absolutely amazing!! He picked us up at the exact time that was sent to us and it happened that no one else had booked the tour that day so we had the entire day to ourselves! He was so informative and gave us great advice as far as where to go and what to do while we were in town. The beginning of the tour was about 90 minutes of Greg driving us around Houston and showing us some of the city’s highlights and giving us a brief history of some of the city’s landmarks. We then left for the space center which was about a 25 minute drive. The space venter itself was absolutely awe inspiring. We had more than enough time to take the tram as well as explore the entire complex. Greg promptly picked us up at our prearranged time and we headed back to the city. This tour is a MUST for anyone in from out of town and wants to learn a little bit about Houston’s history and experience NASA. Thanks againnn

NASA was a joy to visit mid-week in February! Our driver pointed out interesting sites and told many stories. The time went quickly! They willingly let us change our drop off site. Fantastic!

Gregg picked us up from our accommodation in a fantastic and comfortable vehicle. The first part of the tour was Houston city and we got great tips and insight into the city. Gregg was so informative and we were particularly interested in the city's recycling scheme, which he was able to tell us all about. We got to NASA and the time we had there was literally perfect. We got everything done just before Gregg arrived to pick us up. Everything went perfect and i would recommend to everyone!! Go Gregg!!

Very informative tour of uptown & downtown Houston and NASA Space Centre. Gary our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful; he shared great tips along the way and made sure we had an enjoyable tour.

Decided to do this tour on an off day while I was in Houston for a conference. Gregg was our driver and was very knowledgeable and gave us great information about Houston. After going through the city and neighborhoods, we headed to the Johnson Space Center. His recommendations on how to go through the center were great and gave us enough time to see it all with time to spare. Wish we had done this earlier in the week, so I could have taken advantage of more of Greggs suggestions.

Tour was amazing, host / guide was amazing. We were the only people booked for that day so had the vehicle to ourselves. Highly recommend

This is a must do tour. Recommended doing this tour when you arrive. Wow it was amazing and so informative. Greg our driver was fantastic and his knowledge and information was great. We were lucky enough to have the limo to ourselfs, so comfortable we felt like celebrities. Lol and NASA was a must. Was the best way to see and learn about Houston and NASA. Give this tour 6 out of 5 stars.

We were expecting a small bus to take us on tour, but we were the only people booked, so Greg turned up in his Lincoln luxury car to take us. He customised our trip as he knew the weather may impact on the Space Centre tour (he was right). Greg is an amazing, thoughtful guide and knows his stuff! Highly recommended. We were so impressed we booked our airport transfer with All Star. Lance was great also.

Great tour of the city and very helpful tips from Greg on the best way to go through NASA so you could see everything

Was our last day in Houston, this was a great experience, the fact we were in Mission Control when the first two Women working together fixing batteries on the Space Station. The rest of the Johnson tour was amazing, Saturn Five rocket ship the information great, All in all great day out

We really enjoyed this trip thanks to our driver/ guide Gregg who was charming, helpful and knowledgeable. He loves his city and it showed. Great tour of Houston followed by a brilliant few hours at NASA. Great value for the day and excellent your van.

It was just a perfect way to get to know the city of Houston. Greg, a lifelong resident, was the perfect tour guide and ambassador of this big and beautiful city. I'm so glad my husband and I had the opportunity to see so many sights and learn so much history. This tour helped us to choose what we did in the succeeding days. We had many hours to spend at the NASA Space Center and that is a place no one should miss. I highly recommend this tour!

We had a fantastic day out with Greg our guide he was very informative with the history of Houston as we traveled around the city. Stopped where he could so we could have a longer look or take a photo. Gave great tips for the NASA space centre so we were able to do all the tours in the time we were allocated. Supplied us with cold water and snacks too. Highly recommend this tour to others.

The tour was excellent and led by a wonderful, knowledgeable and competent tour guide Greg. Learned a lot about the beautiful and innovative city of Houston and was privileged to be at the Space Center on the 50th anniversary of the First man on the moon mission.

It was a beautiful July day when we visited NASA with our tour guide, Gregg. Due to the 50th anniversary celebration, there was limited numbers, so Gregg couldn't accompany our small group. However, he told us a lot prior to dropping us off. He was most knowledgeable and courteous. Would highly recommend Gregg for any future tours.

After reading all the wonderful reviews, we were excited and looking forward to this excursion. In fact, I’m sure expectations would be met or exceeded had we gone. After looking at available dates on TA, July 27 and 28 had shown as unavailable. However, Friday July 26 evidently and according to the system was available. We purchased two tickets which were received immediately. Nevertheless, several hours later we were informed by the company that there now was no availability and were refunded our money. An email was forwarded to the company to voice our disappointment. They responded politely and were very apologetic, but gave us no concrete explanation as to how this could have occurred. Again, an email was sent notifying asking them if possibly there was a problem with their system that needed to be corrected. Another reply received with regrets but with no explanation. This has me concerned about the transparency of this company and wondering if they had bumped us out to accommodate a larger group. Coincidentally, if you are a lone traveller they will not accept you at all. It will show no availability for this number of travellers. Mmmm.

Our guide was Greg. He was a fantastic host. We learned so much about the city and the space center. Also, will say that the van was very comfortable.

I booked this tour for the group of teachers I was traveling with based on the reviews. I have been deemed the travel director for all our trips from now on due to how awesome Greg was with our tour. Greg picked us up and took us on a tour of Houston that taught us so much. Then he let us have a potty stop before heading to NASA. OMG! Thank goodness we had Greg to navigate the museum or we would have gotten lost. We also would have never seen or learned so much if hadn't kept us on track. This tour was incredible and it was due to the great person leading a group of easily distracted teachers.

Great guide ,good knowledge of history and area. Top tour of NASA. Local knowledge of Houston was given with a genuine excitement to share with group.

It was fabulous! Only 6 people on the bus and we had a great day 2 teachers from Hawaii & a couple from Australia and we are from Missouri Our guide was extremely knowledgeable & very nice He made us all feel special Great value

A special thanks to our guide Greg you are a legend. From start to finish was the most informative day of Houston and the Space Centre. Even better when you can skip the lines like a VIP. Would say that this is must for when you visit Houston.

If a visit to the Johnson Space Centre is on your must-see list when visiting Houston then I highly recommend booking a tour of NASA with Allstar. Greg was our extremely knowledgeable, professional and unflappable tour guide. We were 2 couples and our tour had one other family of 3 on it so 7 guests in total. We took the city tour before heading out to NASA in a comfortable air conditioned vehicle. The complimentary snacks and water were much appreciated as was the advice to have a full breakfast before the tour. It’s a FULL day out on tour. The experience is exactly as promised - personal guide through the Space Centre, skip the long queues and be entertained and informed throughout. We felt this tour was excellent value for money.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Houston sightseeing and the trip out to NASA. Our guide Greg was fabulous and was very accommodating!

We booked this tour thru Viator but because we were far outside the normal pick up locations, I contacted them via email. We were staying in the Woodlands area and prefer closer pick up. We arrange pick up with an extra fee with no issues. To our surprise, we found out at pick up we had a private tour just for us 2. Our experience with Gregg was outstanding. We felt so special to have had one on one experience with Gregg. We felt like royalty even at Nasa. We skipped the long lines and got to go around making us feel extra special. Please do not hesitate to get a tour with Gregg. Best time ever....thank you

Great day, and Greg our guide was fantastic! He knew his stuff and was very accommodating with our group

Greg was great . he showed us around Houston and then drove us to the space centre . Greg took us to the "VIP' queue where we waited about 10 minutes. The "normal queue" was about 2 hours long! . Best tour guide we had on our USA trip.

My wife and I agree this was the all-time, best tour we’ve ever experienced. Greg with Allstar Transportation, Limousine & Tours is “The Man” when it comes to tour driver and guide! His knowledge of Houston and NASA is amazing and his friendly demeanor was delightful. We learned so much. Greg also has the experience and inside-track to move us through the two-hour lines in a flash. Our price for the tour included VIP admission at NASA :) so you will want to tip generously. Treat yourself and spend a few extra dollars to tour with Allstar. If you can get Greg as your guide, you will be in for a treat (see photo - Greg’s the tall guy on the right next to, no joke, his friend a NASA rocket scientist). A true five star experience!

We were 1 of 2 couples on this fantastic tour - the rest had pulled out due to the storm, and boy did they miss out. Fantastic almost private trip around Memphis, then NASA by Gregg who has an in-depth knowledge of the area. Would highly recommend

I booked a tour to the NASA space centre as I had read reviews about long lines, and to maximise our short time I wanted to avoid waiting in a queue. Our tour delivered a lot more than skipping the lines! Our tour guide was very informative and took us on a really interesting city tour around the main sights of Houston. Even the 9 yr old was engrossed! We then drove the 25 minutes or so out to the NASA space centre and went straight to Rocket Park to see the huge Saturn V rocket, which was awesome. Returning to the main centre, we bypassed all the lines to get straight on a tram tour to the other two sites of interest, which meant we had plenty of time back at the main NASA building to view the exhibits, have a go on the simulators etc. Our tour made the NASA experience completely hassle free and I would strongly recommend doing it this way if you were planning on visiting NASA.

Highly recommended. Greg’s infectious passion for Houston and the space centre was a delight to behold. You get to skip queues and listen with glee to an expert taking you around this awe inspiring place of work.

Excellent Guide. Very Informative trip Treated like VIP at Space Center so avoided all the long Spring Break Crowds. Highly recommended

We’ve just returned from a very enjoyable and informative tour of Houston and NASA. Greg was so informative and helpful. We were really treated like VIPs and didn’t wait in line for anything. He recommended where to eat in the evening and it was lovely. Greg is a great ambassador for Allstar Transportation and Houston. He made us want to stay in the city for longer.

We had 2 days in Houston and came just to see NASA Space Centre. So we wanted to make the most of our time. Our tour guide Gregg was fantastic. We were the only two on the tour. He gave us a wonderful sightseeing tour first, giving us lots of local tips and information about where to go, eat, the public transport etc. The tour to NASA was way better than we imagined and Gregg got us to all the attractions with a very knowledgeable commentary. We would never have had anywhere near the same experience if we had of just visited on our own. His knowledge of NASA and anything about space travel and the Houston area is outstanding. We certainly recommend Gregg and Allstar limousines. Kjell and Natalie

On arrival the center has just opened and was a dry but fairly quiet day. We got tickets and got inside pretty quickly and went to the tram tour straight away. When we researched this center before my husband really wanted to do the Mission Control center being a keen space enthusiast. However unfortunately this was closed for restoration. On the tram tour we got to see the actual shuttle from Apollo 18 I believe which was fabulous to see up close and study the different segments. The space center and museum was really interesting and would definitely recommend if you have a keen interest in space. It is amazing how little technology was used in the space crafts. The restaurant was clean and the staff friendly. Enjoy your time there if you are planning a trip.

Its an amazing place to visit. My kids loved being in the Indepence plaza. The historic and original NASA 905 shuttle carrier aircraft was worth seeing. Loved the science show and stem activities. The living in space gallery is an interesting exhibit too.

Nasa was great - we went to the Control Centre and watched the Imax films. All that we saw gave us information and explanations of how the Space Centre operates. We went on a Sunday - too many children rushing around. The staff were so informed and helpful. We would haver liked lomger to spend time on the many displays and hand on experiences.

Greg, Greg, Greg- 5 star tour and guide! During this vacation, we definitely wanted to visit the Space Center and get a tour of the city. We managed to get the best of both with this tour and it wasn’t rushed! Greg clearly knows his history and pointed out all the highlights every step along the way. At the Space Center, we had ample time to learn, look, shop, and take photos. During my next visit- I would take this tour again!

We did a stopover of 3 days in Houston on our way back from Peru holidays. We made a good choice in picking this day tour- city sightseeing in the comfort of a nice and clean minivan. The NASA tour with our driver cum guide was convenient and insightful too. We had some time at the end of the NASA tour to shop for souvenirs and there was no rush. So sweet of our guide (Greg - i hope i did get his name right) to come by our downtown hotel that very evening to pass us 2 keychains of Houston as souvenirs. Much appreciated !

From beginning to end, this was a delightful tour! It is our first time in Texas, and were with family. Greg, our tour guide, is a great ambassador for Houston; he is very knowledgeable, and seems to genuinely enjoy sharing his knowledge. What was impressive was the acknowledgement and respect he was given by staff at NASA. The city tour was interesting, but being a "child of the 60's", the history at Johnson Space Center was profound & exciting. So glad to see it. Greg's familiarity with the complex made us all feel like VIPs. I highly recommend this tour!

We had arranged for Allstar to pick us up at the airport and take us to our hotel in downtown Houston. They arrived promptly and off we went. The next day Greg picked us up at the hotel and took us to on a tour of Houston and then off to NASA. He was very informative and was great. He was very courteous and a great driver. He then drove us to Galveston and again kept us informed and entertained the whole way there. A week later he picked us up at the cruise ship terminal and drove us back to Houston airport. There were 6 of us and we cannot say enough about Greg. He went over and beyond anything we were expecting even taking us to go grocery shopping in Galveston as we were staying at an Air B/B and we didn't have a store close by. Then when he picked us up at the cruise ship terminal he drove us to the Bishop House for a tour and he also took the tour with us. I would totally recommend Greg and this great company for anyone that wants exceptional service. Greg you ROCK! Thanks so much.

I really enjoyed space centre, when we arrived we headed straight out to go on bus trip as their wasn't a line, by doing this we managed to do both bus rides and plenty of time to see main building exhibits, interesting information on Mars expeditions . Well worth a visit.

We got the combo ticket and it was worth it, it provides really good information. It was not a busy das today, so there were almost no queues. We took the 90 Minute tram tour, we got a good bit of useful Information with the visit to the control room being the highlight of the tram tour. Bsck in the main building, the APOLLA Programme information was very well done and interesting. This was a very good visit

<p>Excellent day tour, our guide Greg had great knowledge and was really interesting and funny.</p>

<p>Excellent service. Knowledgeable about Houston. Showed us the sights that we could further explore, so would have been good to do it as a first up tour. His knowledge and tips on NASA was excellent. Because we were the only ones on this tour, we had a private limo tour. He was hospitable and had drinks and snacks and a souvenir momento for us. This was a tour with a difference and one of the best we have done.</p>

This tour was the highlight of our trip to Houston. The tour guide, Greg, was entertaining and extremely knowledgeable about Houston and it's history. He also knew a lot a bout NASA, and he knew how to avoid the lines (what to do in what order and at what time). He is a fantastic ambassador for the city, and one of the more engaging story tellers we've heard on recent tours (and we do a lot of tours!) My husband had been to Houston several times, and he wished he had done this tour on one of the first trips. It gave us a much better understanding and appreciation of the city.
