It exceeded all my expectations; the guide demonstrated a lot of knowledge and a very dynamic way of explaining. The most beautiful part was seeing what looked like a giant shooting star that lit up the entire sky 😍
Highly recommended. The tour guide was excellent very knowledgeable was able to explain astronomical concepts in layman term.
Had the most amazing private tour, would recommend this to everyone visiting san pedro. The star talk was so good. This was the perfect place to propose and they really went the extra mile with everything! Was also fantastic value for money.
Diego was very knowledgeable and explained what we were looking at very well. He is also quite pleasant. It’s recommended that there are strict rules about no phones/cameras during the official photo shoot and that the various nearby groups coordinate with each other to ensure they don’t interfere with the photo shoot neither (laser or phones). Overall a very nice evening.
Amazing experience...you are taken out of town, in the middle of nowhere, but to an area which also a lot of other tours use, so it is good spot to stargaze..the sky was very well explained by Alejandro you could see he was passionate about what he was doing. Transfer on time and comfortable. I had some issue with few people on the tour switching on their phones, using flash blinding you in pitch dark and abusing photo session for more then one photo and each member of the group seperately, while others had to wait. Photo part should be made quicker and staff stricter on timing as it took away from telescope viewing and making us finish 20 minutes late for this..highly recommend!
Excellent experience for stargazing 🔭 along with the telescope viewing of the stars and the moon especially was really fascinating . They even took some great astrophotography shots of all of us and serves us drinks / snacks . The guide explained all things in detail as best as he could about stars and other things related to space so the entire group could follow. Definitely recommend this company when you’re in San Pedro de Atacama. Only thing to note is when the intensity of the moon is brighter, you may not be able to see many stars at night and your photo Astro photo might not be as great compared to a night without moonlight. So if this matters to you as well, please do check the lunar calendar for e moon cycles before booking this activity
It was truly an amazing, unbelievable experience near San Pedro. The night sky and the Milky Way were more beautiful than I ever expected, and it was really worth the price. It was unforgettable! And at last, but not least our tour guide (Alberto?) was really funny and he’s approach and astronomic interpretation made our evening even more enjoyable.
Very well organised and informative. Diego gave the group just the right amount of information in a clear and friendly style. The stars themselves are just incredible. Good tour logistics and a safe drop off at the hotel later at night.
Enjoyable experience! The guy was knowledgeable in explaining the stars and showed us a few key ones through the telescope. There was only 1 telescope to share but didnt really harm at all. Drinks and snacks prepared for us which were highly appreciated. Overall logistics was good, whatsapp messages sent to us confirming everything beforehand. Got my photo after a few days.
The overall logistics of the tour was wonderful - whatsapp messaging confirming everything before the tour started which was helpful. The guy was knowledgeable in explaining the stars we were able to see that night, with great drinks prepared which was highly appreciated. There was only one telescope so we took turn to take a look at a few stars. Received the photo taken after a few days as well.
