I was mistaken that this "Everglades" refers to the Everglades National Park but it wasn't. Was slightly disappointed but nonetheless, we did see 2 crocodiles despite the flooded banks and the airport safari ride was enjoyable enough.

This was a good trip BUT we did not do an Everglades Airboat ride. We did an airboat ride on the St. John's River. It was still fun but you should change the title and description so it is not misleading.

The tour operator was great and very helpful in all aspect of the tour. Would recommend this tour to anyone.

Good trip, fun ride on the everglades and the space center for those interested a must.,

A perfect option if like myself you've always wanted to do an airboat ride and see Kennedy but are only in Florida for limited time and are not driving. Transport was on time and the air conditioning welcome on a day when if was 91F. A perfect amount of time at each destination. My tip is to ensure when you are queueing to be seated in the airboats try not to end up in the middle of a row of 6 as the view isnt so good and you get squished when it turns corners. Saw a bald eagle and 3 aligators up close on our airboat trip.

I absolutely loved Kennedy Space Center. It is something every American should see and be proud to be a part of.

The Everglades were cold. ~ darn

Enjoyed the trip, all was very good. Only disappointment was due too cool morning never saw any alligators. Might tell people upfront when book that alligators don't come out water unless warm. Or go on airboat ride at 4pm instead of morning? Otherwise it was great.

Airboat ride was great, we did see an alligator. Space Center was great as well, shuttle was still on the pad, met a real life astronaut as well.

Review by: Philip D	November 2010
kennedy space centre was a great day out and the airboat safari was a bonus not to be missed

Review by: KEL B	October 2010
Had a great day, NASA was great and lots to see, didn't get to see any alligators but nice to go on the river. Pick up location could have been better as not near our hotel.

Review by: Lee M	October 2010
Fun for my son and I trip was worth doing, As for my wife and daugher not so interested. Mostly old rockets and spacesuits, lacked the experience of planets and rare space rocks that should have been on display. Airboat ride was cold in the early morning and no gators to be seen, guide was knowledgable on area and very fridendly

Review by: Steve B	August 2010
Okay tour but expensive for what it is and too many pick up points.

Review by: Anne M	July 2010
My son enjoyed it more than my daughter and myself. Definitely a boy thing unless you have a great interest in Kennedy. Airboat experience was really great.

Had a wonderful time, well worth it. The only thing we didnt like, we were staying at one of the Disney World resorts that the bus did not stop at, so we had to hire a taxi to take us to the nearest stop. On the way back we were the last to get off, we asked the driver if our hotel was on the way to drop us off, he said he wasnt supposed to do that but he would anyway,Thank you to our driver, saved us time and money!!

It was a long day but good value for money, we did not book for a weekend and i would not do so if i went again. Bypass the bus ride to the Space Station and don't miss the Imax.

This was an awesome experience for my family - especially my 12-year old son. The boat ride is highly recommended as it is a once in a lifetime experience. Our driver was great!

The time spent at KSC was too short, we rushed through all exhibits and had to omit the last one along with the simulator. There should have been at least 1-2 hours more on tour, or skip the museum.

Review by: Gavin C, United Kingdom	March 2010
It was a very enjoyable day and well worth doing. The downside was the transportation as we had to change buses three times.

Review by: Alan C, United Kingdom	February 2010
Excellant value for money with a great tour company would definitely do again

Review by: Steven L, United Kingdom	October 2009
A full day out which starts very early 645am pick up for us but was worth the alarm call. The Airboat Safari was fantastic and then the trip to the Space Centre which is HUUUUGE! Worth every penny.

Review by: ELAINE B, Australia	October 2009
