The tour was great. We had an amazing day with very well informed guides. There is so much to see and do we could have spent another day. The lunch with the astronaut was very cool. Mark Lee was very gracious about answering questions and and his presentation about this experiences as an astronaut on the Space Shuttle was very informative._br/_ I would recommend this tour especially for those travelers with kids who might want to become involved in space exploration._br/_ 2 small negatives.....the pick-up times from Orlando are not especially accurate and the movie shown on the bus trip back was horrible!..better to sleep if you can.

Thought this was going to be cheesy forgive me but my daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt it was worth the time and money. The astronaut we met was very well spoken and exciting to hear his stories. The food itself was pretty standard for a buffet but my daughter, who is a picky an eater as they come, still went back for seconds so it wasn't bad at all.

This was an amazing day, seeing so much and the lunch with the astronaut was truly out of this world. Fred Gregory had some wonderful stories to tell about his time with NASA and the people he met. It was a fantastic day and I learnt so much about the space program.

The ultimate experience was well worth the money. Lunch with the astronaut Nicole Stott was amazing - she was open and friendly and very informative. The NASA bus special tour was instructive. We went back again included in price on our five day pass to finish looking at all exhibits. Tour pick-up was operated by Florida Dolphin Tours. Service and tour guide knowledge was A1.

This tour is awesome! First, the pick-up/drop-off is very efficient. After you book your ticket you get an email confirmation regarding the time the bus will be ready for your pick-up. The bus comes early and waits till everyone shows up. It is a double-decker bus and is quite nice for the ride to the space center. Second, our host Judy was absolutely fantastic. She was funny, enthusiastic, and very knowledgable about the tour. During your ride to the space center, she hands out everyones tickets and tells you the plan for the day. Third, the tour arrives just after the space center opens and leaves just before it closes which is great because you are able to avoid traffic. In the morning you have a private tour of the Atlantis building which is great as Viator is the ONLY company that receives this tour. The lunch is delicious and the up-close tour afterwards is fantastic. There are 2 suggestions I would recommend: Your entrance ticket is valid for 2 DAYS OF ADMISSION so come for 2 days as you will not get to see everything at the center. Second, the wait for the lunch is abit hectic as there are no table and seat numbers and people push to the front of the line. Overall, great day and Judy was awesome!

Touring the Kennedy Space Center is a most valuable experience. I'm not much of a Science person, but I am deeply moved by_br/_ American History and the amazing accomplishments of the human species. I was deeply moved at walking into the Atlantis_br/_ exhibit. The craft definitely exudes the energy of it's many missions. I loved sitting in a room with the actual computers used_br/_ in the command center for some of the earliest space endeavors. Touring the compound with a well informed guide was also_br/_ a rich experience. Just think, I was right there at launch pad 39 where all of the manned flights originated!_br/_ Lunch with an astronaut was a most pleasant experience, well organized and the food was quite good could have been hotter _br/_ Our guide from Florida Dolphin Tours was a self proclaimed rookie and let us down a bit in terms of giving clear directives_br/_ but the KSC staff compensated._br/_ I am very glad that I chose this tour.

Highly recommend this tour for a fun filled day of space exploration. The highlight was lunch with an Astronaut - a delicious buffet with a speech by the astronaut with a video presentation followed by professional photo with him. Other highlights are the Atlantis and Saturn V exhibits you could spend hours at each plus the mulitiple IMAX movies that are included. Worth every penny! Our driver Nicky was the best!

A few days before departure we were notified that we could not be picked up at our hotel as previously organised. We had booked into this hotel in Nov 15 as this is where they picked up from but our tour guide stated they hadn't picked up there for 16 months. This was not good enough. We then had to sit on the bus on the return as we went all round the 'Disney Hotels' to drop off other people although they drove very close to our hotel when we arrived back to Orlando. This made the drop off after 7pm which was very late. To get to some of those 'Disney Hotels you were going all around the place. Need to set specific pick up locations and stick to them. Would not book if same bus company was used. They stated that they had no control over the route._br/_ Enjoyed being back at Kennedy Space Center but although the 'lunch with the Astronaut' was good and the Up-Close tour great, you lost time to look around properly.

Florida Dolphin Tours are rubbish at handling this tour. I will be contacting them directly with my complaints. Go by yourself and avoid this company at all costs.
Review by: nanna, October 2016
This trip was just magical. Dolphin tours were fantastic. Red was the tour guide and he looked after us all day. Loved atlantis exhibit, lunch with astronaut was great. Dont bring a bag as the lockers are a nightmare with crowds. Arrive early and beat the crowds. Be aware that if you do lunch with astronaut and up close and personal tour you will not have much time at the saturn v exhibit which is the bees knees. If you are a space nut then do this over twondays and really enjoy it.

Red was a great tour guide...tattooed tough guy from New York or New Jersey, I don't know, but he had a fun sense of humor and was a great host. He was there every time we needed him.
Review by: Augustine M, May 2016
