Our guide was so knowledgeable that he spoke the entire trip on our way to Kennedy and the way back. He has infinite stories about NASA but also about Orlando. I would strongly recommend this experience. Also the NASA site is huge and lots to do. U can just run all day long to catch everything. Bit the guide will help u orient better and approach what matters most first. 5 stars !!

Brenda_B, Apr 2024

Seeing Atlantis and hearing its history.The whole experience was enlightening .We didn’t realise how small the capsules were.Its a must see experience

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you for your ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review! It's amazing to see history right in front of you so you can get the real perspective of what our astronauts experienced. It's all pretty amazing. We appreciate you and look forward to another Tour with you in the future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🦩

A great trip to a wonderful place

Paul_S, Apr 2024

The trip was flawlessly executed. We were picked up at 8am from Orlando, and dropped off just when the KSC opened at 9am. The KSC itself is a must-visit for any space fan - it's unique in that there's no other like it, literally, in the world. The trip organizers had a driver who did a great job as a guide during the ride, giving us not only an overview of the KSC, but also a few suggested itineraries to optimize our day. We were picked up at the end of the day, once again in a very streamlined fashion. I would recommend this for anyone who isn't absolutely insisting on driving by themselves.

Good for those interested about space and space travel. Great experience for 1st timers. Tour operator was professional.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dave made a great day even better

Kerry_J, Mar 2024

Dave was our guide and although he didn’t come in with us he picked us up, entertained us with stories, told us lots of info/facts and took us to the gate so got in quickly. Best of all he gave us an info sheet with suggestions on how to get the most of the day

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for the great ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the Tour to Kennedy Space Center. We agree, Dave is entertaining and full of great knowledge to help you get the most out of your day. We appreciate you and look forward to seeing you in the future on another Tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🦩

Fantastic day out, so interesting and informative, A must see for anyone travelling to florida. The space shuttle simulator was one of the best rides I have been on. Accessible friendly.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for the great ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review and Recommendation! We are so happy you had a great time. We agree, it's a must see and a must see more than once!

Great experience!

Bill_D, Mar 2024

Excellent driver/narrator made the trip interesting and comfortable. Great not to have to be concerned about directions, parking, tickets, etc. Great experience.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the Tour to Kennedy Space Center. Yes, avoiding driving in the Orlando area is always a great choice! We appreciate you and look forward to seeing you in the future on another Tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🦩

Real Florida fixed our mistake and gave us a great experience!

Audrey_N, Mar 2024

The Kennedy Space Center itself is a must-see in the Orlando area, in my opinion. Very interesting exhibits and encounters bring space travel and its many considerations to life. This Real Florida tour is an excellent way to see it. We mistakenly missed the pick up time (despite both Dave, the tour guide/driver and Real Florida's office calling us to try to get us there before they left. They truly did all that could reasonably be expected to get us on board and to the space center). Real Florida offered us the chance to board at another location, but we missed that too. We didn't need to worry though--once we got ourselves to the Space Center, we still received our entry tickets, and Dave gave us great recommendations about how to structure our day--everything from time estimates for exhibits/activities to lunch recommendations. That helped us prioritize the sights we wanted to see at the Kennedy center accordingly. On the bus home, Dave had many stories and fun facts about the area, which made the drive fly by.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for the Great ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review! We really do try and make sure everyone makes their Tour while still keeping on schedule. We are so happy to hear you did make it and enjoyed Kennedy Space Center. Dave does a great job with tips and tricks to get you through the park, saving as much time as possible. We work hard to make our Tours as easy and enjoyable for our guest as possible. We appreciate you and look forward to seeing you in the future on another Tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🦩

KSC shuttle & Tour

Patricia_K, Mar 2024

Awesome shuttle driver, gave us great tips to maximize our visit, pointed out local interesting places along the way and extra info we wouldn’t have otherwise known, even pointed out KSC resident alligator, Al, who lives in the National Wildlife Refuge outside the main entrance!😊 Excellent day at KSC!

Kennedy Space Center ! Go visit!!

Rosemary_M, Mar 2024

This is my second time going to the Kennedy Space Center. It has expanded so much since the last time I was there seven years ago. I enjoyed learning more about the. Space shuttles and the partnership with Space-X, Boeing and J Bezo’s company. There was a talk at the end of the day which I enjoyed very much because it made it real that going into space is an investment into the future. The center is very accessible for all physical levels.

Tour was great but viator info incorrect.

Elizabeth_H, Feb 2024

The tour operator was absolutely wonderful and the Kennedy space Center was great. The problem was viator. Your app and all your information to me said to be there at 7:15 AM and the actual pickup was 8 AM so I sat outside by myself in a lonely park in the chilly morning for 45 minutes. I am 63 years old. Fit, but not loving sitting outside by myself at 7 am.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you for the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review! We are so happy to hear you thought we were wonderful and Kennedy Space Center was great. I'm sorry for any confusion on the information you received. It does state at the very top that the Tour starts at 7:15 am and it does. Our first pick-up is at 7:15 am. In the center of your confirmation in blue where it states your pick-up location, it gives the time of 8:00 am, Starflyer being the 3rd pick-up on this Tour. It can be confusing and I do apologize for that but we need the first pick-up time to be the start or some people would miss their Tour and we don't want that to happen. We appreciate you and look forward to seeing you in the future on another Tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🦩

Lots to See

Wade_T, Feb 2024

Lots to see and learn! One day is not enough for this location! We will probably return for more another time.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you for your ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review! I agree, Kennedy Space Center has so much to offer that if you like to read everything and check out all the interactive exhibits, you can't really do it in just one day. We appreciate you and look forward to another Tour with you in the future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🦩

A day in space
