Angelina the guide was excellent, she was constantly ensuring we were having a good time and answering any questions. Gave really good recommendations too.
The driver Abdul drove carefully and was friendly.
Overall a great day

KSC was amazing , interesting and a super day out.
The airboat ride was great fun and the guide was excellent throughout.

Everything at Kennedy Space Center, especially the SpaceX launch was great. Then the air boat topped off a wonderful day.

The Airboat ride was incredible and our captain gave us a good tour and ride. We drove up from Hollywood FL and Greyhound wasn’t necessary since we had our own car and needed to drive back. Jason with Greyhound showed us the way and gave us tips for KSC. Enjoyed it but feel we overspent for things not needed. Also the website said lunch was provided. No lunch.

Good Morning Sir;
Thank you for providing your feedback on the Kennedy Space Center and Airboat Tour. From reading your review it truly seems like you purchased the incorrect product.
I certainly agree with you, if you are driving from Hollywood Florida this isn't the tour for you, as this departs from Orlando, and the price reflects the inclusion of the transport, tickets and tour guide assistance. So this certainly would have been better value for yourself to have arranged your airboats and admission tickets directly, not as part of tour. You mentioned lunch however, I do urge you to speak with the operator you booked through to discuss this. Lunch has never been part of this tour, its not even an upgrade option so I truly don't know where they got that information.
So happy to hear Jason assisted you with some good tips for Kennedy Space Center. Next time you are in Orlando look us up, and we would love to see you ride a tour bus with us so you have a true Gray Line Tours experience.
Have a great afternoon,
Tori

Our guide was the best. Interesting, engaging, fun to be around! Very informative information. Super helpful when it came to getting a reservation for the bus tour and they said it was sold out for the day, he helped the entire group get to a kiosk ...and bingo baby we got reservations...Thank you will use again!!!

This is a full day tour. There are so much to see in Kennedy Space Center. Make sure you don't miss the Imax movies. The Airboat Ride is also interesting. It was a beautiful and warm afternoon and we happened to see many aligators along the swamp area. At one point, we are only 3 feet away from the aligator - a real close look at it. Amazing!!!
Mitch is our bus driver and guide and he is very helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend to others especially ones who have never been to Kennedy Space Center.
The only comment is we weren't able to see everything in Kennedy Space Center since we have to leave at 3:30 pm for the Airboat Ride. However, we had a good time!

Great tour! Can thank you enough for the great service you've shown my kids and I!!

In one day you spend more time in the bus than at the center. Pick up at 7.30am in the morning, but the tour only starts at 8.30 and we only got to KSC at 10 am, and in the in evening the drop off was really really late 8.45pm Since the queue for the bus tour was long more than one hour we did not get to do it. The airboat ride was not interesting... If you do this just to see a few scattered bulls and one alligator which does not seem real, it is a waste of time. We went back to our hotel tired and were not satisfied with our day out...

The tour was pretty good! Would've liked to have stayed longer at the Kennedy Space Center. The kids enjoyed the air boat ride, although we didn't get to see any gators in the wild.
