Memorable - Absolutely loved this tour with Angie & Charlie. Angie gave us tips on where to visit first before the crowds descended and wait times lengthened. Am glad I followed her recommendations as my visit was hassle free and I got to spend time at all the best experiences! Kudos to the Grayline team for the communication prior to and on the day of the tour.

Authentic American hospitality - My ten-year-old daughter and I were lucky enough to join Grey Line Orlando for a trip to Kennedy Space Center.
Our guide, Angelina, clearly knew everything there was to know about KSC and went to great lengths to ensure everyone on the coach was well prepared for the day, handing out bespoke itineraries and talking to all parties on the hour-long drive to Merritt Island.
Ellie and I loved our time with NASA, which is a truly awe-inspiring place. We were very glad that we decided to book the Explore Tour as it took us 'behind-the-scenes' to the launchpads and Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), both of which were epic, in every sense.
When the time came to leave, Angelina and our driver Carlos saw to it that we got to watch an actual rocket launch as - even though KSC was closed by that time - they found a safe place to briefly park up so that we passengers could witness the magic for ourselves.
This was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our entire trip to Florida.
Though it was the end of a long day, Angelina and Carlos were still happy to go way above and beyond, both of them coming to the aid of my daughter, who was desperate to find some local croc charms to take home.
And so it was, thanks to them, that we got dropped off right outside the perfect shop in downtown Orlando to buy them from (Ellie says "thank you so much!!"!
Now that's what I call customer service!
If you're looking to go places during your stay in Florida then I'd definitely recommend Grey Line Orlando: American hospitality at its best.
Thank you for a truly memorable day

Not just transport - get the insider knowledge too. - We got lots of tips on how to get the most out of our visit - which exhibits are worth going to and even which order to visit to beat the crowds!
There was a launch in the early evening (the park was closed and visitors were not allowed to stay) but our driver and guide found somewhere to stop on the highway back home so we could watch it!

This is a must do experience! - This tour was an unforgettable experience! The KSC was a marvel to behold but thanks to our awesome tour guide, Angelina Tucher, we were able to milk every minute of fun out of our day. We were able to do so much thanks to her suggestions and she even came along with us on some of the rides! A+!

It was excellent. - An amazing trip experience! We had an immediate surprise that we would be seeing a space mission doing supplies launch today and we couldn’t believe it. Oscar was a great narrator informing us all as his passengers visit the Kennedy Space Academy/NASA tour. His guided information gave us a heads-up to get in place for the “ring side” viewing and just seeing in person up front & as close as humanly possible……….IT WAS AMAZING!!! The transportation was very clean & comfortable along with the driver too very experienced and a capable driver. Together this team was very professional and recommend you check them out if ever in Florida and want this tour on your schedule.

Water - I had to ask for a bottle of water on the return of the trip and we received it. A bottle of water per per person is baseline service.
Otherwise the tour was excellent and I recommend the tour guide Oscar. Also the airboat ride was 30 minutes from the Kennedy space center which I thought was a bit much as we needed to travel 30 minutes back to Kennedy to pick up up the rest of the people who did not do the tour then travel another hour back to Orlando.
