Our driver was awesome. She had a great sense of humour and she shared tips on how best to enjoy our stay at Kennedy. The astrounaut hall of fame stop before we got to kennedy was also an amazing surprise. My husband loved the ride there and the information and displays were great, a definite stop worth the early morning.

It was not rushed and at our most convenient flow rate. The commentary was very good and driver plus Tour Guides were most willing to answer any questions we had.
If only we could have another day in Orlando we could have come in again for no extra charges.
Please maintain the standards. Thank you very much.
