I like the convenience of pickup direct from the hotel with breakfast and snacks provided. The tour of the various launch sites was also amazing with some great photo stops and excellent knowledge from the tour gides, however this part of the tour did feel a little long (over 2 hrs) and compromised our ability to visit a few exhibits at the museum. This makes you prioritise what you want to see at the rest of the museum. Our pickup/drop-off guide was very knowledgable about the museum, and gave us the best tips of which parts to see first. so we could then get onto the launch site tour. Overall, a great tour. If you want to see many of the launch sites up close, this one is for you. Plan another day at the museum if you really want to take it all in though.

The snacks and food were mediocre. There was a lot to remember about planning our day from what the guide explained while driving. We thought that the guide who drove us to KSS would stay with us all day. The bus tour later in the day was excellent. But we had to rush through everything.

The transport to the Kennedy Space Center was really good. The driver was very friendly and informed us in advance about the activities on site. When we reached our destination, everything was incredibly exciting. The impressions were fantastic. I can recommend the Kennedy Space Center to everyone.

Best Tuesday of our lives. When I called in advance with questions I received very clear answers. Our driver Preston was a pleasure to spend the day with.

The driver was great, Preston; went out of his way for us. The van booked was apparently out of commission but Gray Line didn't advise us, just sent Preston with a smaller van. It had enough seats but no room for my transport chair though we'd been very clear we had a stroller and chair. We were forced then to rent a chair for $10, which I feel Gray Line should credit me for. (Preston rented it in his own tab without even telling me it cost him but I found out and paid him back; a good example of his level of service). I understanda unexpected problems arise but it could have been handled much better with communication and on offer to reimburse me for the chair rental. Other than that things went very smoothly. Preston managed all the details very well. Note that I was forced to check an option above but none really fit my particular problem. I chose the closest.

Your Experience

Your tour begins with a convenient hotel pickup and breakfast on the go. Head to the east coast for a remarkable day exploring the Kennedy Space Center, one of Florida's most renowned attractions. At the visitor complex, you'll undergo orientation and visit highlights like the Heroes and Legends, the Atlantis exhibit (including the Shuttle Launch Simulator), and even make a stop at the IMAX theater.

At noon, grab some lunch and ride the KSC behind-the-scenes tour for a comprehensive look at the center's main highlights. Make use of your $15 voucher for dining or merchandise (the choice is yours). After riding past the launch control room, the Saturn V rocket, the shuttle launch pads, and more, you'll head to the largest space shop to pick up some souvenirs and displays. In the end, your driver/guide will take you back to Orlando with snacks for the ride back home.
