Great astronomical tour - Great guide. He gave us a great tour of the night sky. Helped us set up our iPhones to take great astronomical photos. Explored the arm of the Milky Way, different stars and planets. The technical telescope he used was very good. He helped us understand the universe and our place in it. A wonderful night indeed.

Excellent experience, highly recommend - Jhonatan and his team were incredibly knowledgable and the absolute highlight was clearly seeing Jupiter, and the Milky Way through the telescopes as well as shooting stars. The additional charcuterie board and drinks were a really nice touch to have while we listening to Jhonatan’s astronomy talk. We also had professional photos taken which showed the incredible night sky, stars and the Milky Way and we were shown how to take proper photos of the sky and stars using our phones. 10/10 experience that I would highly recommend.

All the stars of the universe for this tour - Our entire trip to Atacama was fenomenal, but this tour was the highlight of the trip. We couldn’t believe what we were seeing. Pictures will never depict the astonishing scenery. We felt out in the space. It is unreal. Well the scenery is there, given by nature and God but having a company that complement the experience is a must and Jonathan from Atacama Tours exceed our expectations. We received the best service, very educational, informative, friendly. They paid attention to every detail with knowledge and passion. Thank you Jonathan for an experience out of this world. All the starts of the sky for you and your company. Pictures are fabulous.

A space tour that flew into our hearts! - We are space nerds at heart. This tour, played directly into our love. The tour guide Jonathon, was so incredibly inspired, insightful, and genuinely interested in not only what he was doing, but also in us as guests. By the end of the very short night, he knew all 12 guests by name, showed and shared with us some wonderful facts about the night sky, and showed us some incredible sights through the telescopes.

Jhonatan was the Best! - My wife and I booked this because we wanted to see the dark sky while visiting San Pedro and Atacama. What made the experience even more amazing was Jhonatan. He was fantastic! He was so passionate and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this experience to someone else.

Highly Recommended - This was a beautiful experience. It's good for novices like me and experienced star gazers without access to giant telescopes like my husband. We both enjoyed the experience because Jhonatan was very knowledgeable and yet made it simple for people like me who didn't know much about about stars. It was engaging ,soulful and very calming experience. We enjoyed a delicious snack as well as some great professional grade oic opportunity.
