The VIP access for the Explorer tour run by the Kennedy Space Centre to Cape Canaveral was exceptional and made the trip memorable. A minor note that it would be helpful if we could have had an itinerary emailed to us with what specifically to see at KSA after the Explorer tour ( you get 4 1/2 hours) as there are many interesting and worthwhile exhibits to see.”
