FamilyVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5The tour was amazing, and "Moonwalkers" was outstanding - a real highlight! I got goosebumps listening to Tom Hanks describe watching the first moonwalk as a kid I was about the same age and had the same experience of laying on the living room floor, watching with family in that hot July night. It was a moment in life that lives within you forever and to hear him articulate those feelings crystalized it for me The show was the definite highlight for us.VVinod S
