VIP Kennedy Space Centre Tour - Brad was an excellent guide, we had a really good day at Kennedy Space Centre with some top tips to make the day extra special. The morning snacks were a welcome treat for an early start. Unfortunately the VIP explorer tour was cancelled (not Gray lines fault) which was disappointing, but we still had a fun day.

An easy way to see Space - If you love space, this is the tour for you! Our small family enjoyed a break from Disney and headed out to the Space Centre. Pick up and drop off to our resort was very convenient and meant we could relax. The driver/guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, and the bus very clean. It’s self guided at the Space Centre which suited us with our young child.

Good and hot - The Atlantis display and history. The launching of a rocket that was postponed from day before. Needs to be more seating for adults to rest. It is super hot in Florida.

CEK. A good option in Orlando. - Gray Line's organization of the tour was very good and the performance of the OSCAR tour guide was excellent. Very attentive to our needs, very clear in his explanations and very friendly in his treatment. It was a pleasure to take the tour with him. As for the Kennedy Space Center, it is a good option to complement trips to the Parks. The most notable thing about CEK is the historical information provided in each show, but not so much its visual and aesthetic presentation, which cannot be compared with what is found in the Parks.

False advertisement - I booked the experience as a space enthusiast expecting to have a small group tour with someone who could answer questions along the way. The 'guide' driver who picked me up was kind and did his best but he had obviously nothing to do with NASA. The Continental breakfast was a bag of cheap sweets handed to us on the shuttle. After arriving he provided the explorer pass and a 15USD voucher for food (completely useless why not reduce the price by 15usd..? Anyway). After roaming the visitor center alone I jumped on the explorer tour together with 30+ other people on a large bus. The guide was quite knowledgeable (he was a dedicated guide for 7 years at NASA with a prior background in entertainment but no prior work experience at NASA) however there was little chance to ask casual questions along the way due to the large size of the group and the tight schedule, 1h or so? This bus dropped us off at another center with the Saturn V rocket. Then we roamed free until we needed to meet at the shuttle bus at 16.30. It would have likely been cheaper and definitely more VIP to take an UBER back and forth to the visitor center and buy the tickets there... To be clear I had a good time, however I give this tour 1/5 stars since it is obviously false advertisement. It should be called a shuttle + ticket package or something...
