A good tour - I recommend it! - This was a fun tour. Would recommend this!
I had read many reviews of lots of the different star gazing tours beforehand so I was unsure what to expect, but this was good.
Alex was very knowledgeable about the stars and the constellations. They had 3 telescopes set up and we saw Saturn, Jupiter and 2 other constellations.
The snacks and drinks at the end were good.
The photos they took of us were great and they sent them the next day as promised.

Very professional!! - It was great! We were picked up and dropped off, noa gave a talk, took great pictures, ate, drank and used some amazing telescopes. It makes me want to learn a lot more. Thank you very much. This tour escapes a little prices from most of the place, but is worth every peso.

Atacama night skies - our guide was wonderful and explained completely in english and in spanish. it was a big group of 20 so took awhile with each telescope. we were 3 english speakers so it was nice and we had ample time. snacks were good.
overall it was good , would have been better with a smaller group as had been advertised
There was a group of 4 younger women who talked through the entire event even the van ride back.

Depends a lot on weather conditions - On a day when the moon was very bright and the sky was overcast, the excursion should have been cancelled.
In addition, very long process for photos.
Too bad because the speaker is passionate and gives a lot of information.

No-show is Viator’s fault. Contacted provider who said they do no 9pm tours. Viator shouldn’t have booked (and charged) - We made a reservation through Viator for a stargazing tour at 9pm (21:00). The provider didn’t show.
