A great experience to learn about the space center and its progression from 1962 to present day. The Explore Bus Tour was great despite lightening confining us to the bus for its duration, and the guide was very informative regarding the past and most famous missions e.g. Apollo etc. as well as the present day attempts and plans of Space X and Blue Origin. The Atlantis exhibition is superb in addition to the Saturn and Apollo exhibits. It was a bit of fun to spot the gators, too, while arriving and leaving the center.

Bob was an excellent host on the main bus. I loved his envelope with all kinds of information that he prepared ahead of time for us. He was excellent in keeping track of all of us.
The fellow who led the bus on the Explore tour was excellent also

Chris and Kevin were brilliant and made it a great trip. The only thing I'd suggest is making it shorter at the end of the day so you'd beat the traffic. Otherwise, a very good day out

Travel was well organised. Guide gave some good advice about how to get the most from Kennedy in the time allowed. Loved the airboat ride - we all did. A good day out.

Great trip! Been dying to see Kennedy Space Center for a while so huge thanks to Gray Line Orlando for making it happen! Loved seeing all the exhibits and thanks to the guide to pointing out where to go first, etc.

This is a great place to visit with lots to do and see. There are simulator rides and interactive activities as well as artefacts and a very interesting tour of the launch sites. Great for anyone interested in space exploration past and present. Also really good for children.
We were really impressed with Gray Line tours. The coach arrived on time and was comfortable. Our tour guide Bonni was great. She gave us loads of information and made the journey pass quickly. On the return journey she asked for individual feedback from each of the guests on their day. She also told some great corny jokes! I would definitely recommend Gray Line and Kennedy Space Centre. A brilliant day out.

A bit pricey. I found out I could have bought the tickets (not transportation) for $66 as opposed to the $78 (+/-) I paid you. I would have thought you made enough on the transportation. Glad I went, but would have booked transportation only had I researched it better.

The tour guides professionalism and explanation of the trip, with hints and tips complete with an envelope pack.
Also went out his way to ensure we did not miss the starlink rocket launch.
Brilliant day.

We had Bonnie as our tour guide in transporting us with Charles the driver from Orlando to the space centre.
Had a great drive learnt a lot and got to have a very interesting fact finding day.
So much so when I found there was a rocket launch I stayed up and set an alarm for 01:30am and watched a rocket launch from my hotel window. Despite the distance you could see it happen.
Great day and Bonnie made the day with her fine jokes too.
