Wonderful experience. - An incredible experience with Atacama Tours! We took four tours with them and all of them were excellent. From the first moment, the service was wonderful and they made sure to recommend activities appropriate for traveling as a family and with children. We especially loved the tour of the Moon Valley. The manager guided us very well and organized a private experience totally adapted to our needs. The drivers were very kind, attentive, and professional during all the tours. The private service, the comfort, the snacks, and all the attention were spectacular. Everything was very well organized and the food was delicious. The astronomical tour was truly magical. We were able to observe nebulae, stars, and other objects in the sky using a high-powered telescope. It was a fantastic and unforgettable experience for both the adults and the children. We were happy with the service and the human quality of the entire team. **We recommend Atacama Tours 100%.** Without a doubt, we would take tours with them again.

Amazing experience! - The experience was great! The photos were well done, they tried to get through it quickly for a large group but ensured everyone got a good photo to be happy with at the end of the experience. The drink + snack board was a great touch while we were learning more from Jhonathan educating us before we dove into the telescope viewing. We saw so many different things and he always explained and helped ensure we could see what we needed to. Definitely recommend the experience!

Inexplicable. - There are experiences that exceed any expectation, and this was one of them. I came to Atacama with a very clear goal: to live a true astronomical experience. During the trip, I participated in two different tours, one in a group and another private. I can say, without any doubt, that the experience provided by Jhonatan was something completely different and surprising. The technical knowledge is impressive, but what really makes the difference is the passion he conveys. It was possible to see the sparkle in his eyes with each explanation, the emotion in his voice when talking about the universe, and the genuine desire to share this knowledge. This transforms the tour into something much greater than simply observing stars. The environment was carefully prepared, the guidance was light, engaging, and extremely educational. The playful way of explaining complex concepts made each moment special, creating an immersion that I never imagined I would experience. As someone who is also passionate about astronomy, I can say that this was one of the most remarkable experiences I have ever had. The sky of Atacama is already spectacular on its own, but having someone like Jhonatan guiding this journey makes everything even more extraordinary. Congratulations to the company for its excellence and, especially, to Jhonatan for his professionalism, dedication, and passion for what he does. I recommend it without hesitation. I hope many people have the opportunity to experience this unique adventure. There are experiences that exceed any expectations, and this was one of them.

Magical experience - We cannot rate the experience highly enough. From start to finish, Jonathon put so much effort into making the night as magical as possible. The sky itself was beautiful, but everything was so thought through on the tour that it made the experience perfect. Jonathon and his wife went to extra care to ensure our allergies were taken care of and that my partner was kept safe. The snack boards were delicious, as was the wine. Jonathon is clearly very passionate and extremely knowledgeable. It was a privilege to be able to listen to him speak about the stars and learn so much whilst gazing at the beautiful views. Each of us got plenty of time to use the telescopes, it wasn’t rushed and Jonathon wanted to make sure that we had all seen everything. The whole night ran seamlessly. It was magic and memorable from start to finish.

See the Milky Way with your own eyes - This was my favorite activity in Atacama and we went on four different tours! From the moment I stepped out of the van and looked up I knew I was in paradise. Being able to observe the Milky Way with the naked eye is a priceless experience, and that coupled with wine, snacks, and professional photos makes this a no brainer. Jhonathan and Jhonathan were both amazing, knowledgeable tour guides who imparted so much fun knowledge about astronomy and chemistry to our group. Thanks to them we were able to even observe some constellations!. If you're a space aficionado, this tour is an absolute must.

Atacama Magic - What an absolutely incredible experience. Jhonatan’s knowledge of and passion for the universe is totally infectious. We found ourselves completely immersed and the time flew by. The small group size meant we were never waiting in line. Jhonatan answered all our questions. He is generous and gracious host. The hot chocolates and snacks were a delicious side treat. We highly recommend this tour. It is a professional and magical experience. I

Definitely a bucket list trip - I did this experience with Jonathan who is extremely knowledgeable about astronomy and did an excellent job highlighting the stars, constellations, and galaxies in the sky over the Atacama desert. It was a very small group with 3 people which gave it a very personal feel.
