Unforgettable tour - Great first activity in San Pedro - The tour is unforgettable, I did the first night in San Pedro. Great first day option because there is no challenge due to altitude. The guides were amazing, explained every star, the whole conversation was very good. After the activity have an evening coffee to warm up the body. The activity takes place in the darkness, it is the moment to disconnect from everything and hear about the universe and about the beliefs that make/have made part of our lives. The more you look at the sky, the clearer it becomes.

Great introduction to the skies in the southern hemisphere - Fun and beautiful exploration of the night skies over San Pedro de Atacama. Coming from the northern hemisphere, the tour was a great way to get acquainted with a side of the night sky I’d never seen before.

Fantastic astrophotography - All very well, organization, guide, explanations, snacks, good atmosphere... The only shame is that there was a full moon and I wanted to see the Milky Way (for the next one, I will check an astronomical almanac first!). Thank you.

The guy did a great job... - The guy did a great job of translating everything in English even though we were a few English speakers. I felt it was food value with drive to the location, drop off, some midnight snack and drinks, Astrophotography, viewing through telescopes.

A little bit of Atacama sky - Very good tour, but observation could be made in an even more secluded place so that the city lights do not interfere with the view of the sky.

3 stars - The tour is nicely conceived. Wine, stargazing and a surprise at the end. Only the problem is as follows: The stars could hardly be seen, if at all. I didn't get a message in advance that the stars wouldn't be clearly visible, because the moon was growing. I would have appreciated this and to avoid disappointment, the tour operator could have offered me options, such as cancelling or moving to another day for example, free of charge. The pictures on the page were taken with an ultra high resolution lens and flash so you could see the stars in the background. I would have appreciated looking at options and therefore I can only really give max 3 stars, because other parts were decent.

Well, but I haven't seen the pictures as beautiful as in the tour advertisement - The tour is interesting and some aspects of the atros are explained, but it was not possible to see much because the guide said the moon was very clear making it difficult to see the Milky Way.

This was meant to be a... - This was meant to be a trip of a lifetime. This tour company didn’t show up and didn’t bother notifying me that the tour was cancelled when it was all confirmed. All my other tours were impacted because of this, I couldn’t get refunds back from the other tours. It ruined my whole trip and I ended up doing only one tour. Horrible experience as it is not easy or cheap getting here.
