Amazing Astronomical Tour! - It was a real delight to see the stars on this tour and the cherry on the cake is taken by Patricio, our guide, who explained with all patience, passion and detail everything we could see. Such an experience changes radically for the good when you have a guide as prepared as Patrick.

Excellent Tour! - The visibility was great, and Patricio, the guide, took care of us very well! Nothing beats getting a tour from someone who knows and is rating that they love what they do! After an explanation about astronomy, and observing several stars on the telescopes, he greeted us with a table of snacks, wines, coffee and chocolate and then took some pictures next to the milky way. Super recommended!

A tour to remember! - It was by far the best tour that we scheduled when we were at Atacama dessert. Both the guides were wonderful and really in the mood to explain everything. At the end they had prepared for us little snacks and beverages. The sky, the stars and the whole experience was unforgettable. Do not miss this! Ps really cute dog 😍

FULL MOON DAY TOUR: TAMBIÉN VALE LA PENA - It was a wonderful experience. Patricio explained everything we saw in the sky in a very didactic and calm way, demonstrating a great knowledge of astronomy. Although we did the tour on full moon day, which obfuscates many of the stars, we could observe various stars with the naked eye and others with the telescopes. We will probably come back another time, because we really enjoyed the ride.

Astrophotographic tour - It was wonderful all the talk and observation with the telescope. Seeing the moon and constellations was magical. To see the stars in your photos more definitely it is necessary to look at the lunar calendar (with a lot of moons are not seen), for those next visitors.

Don’t waste your time. There are better tours - I’ve been to several astrotours in Atacama desert and this was the worst. Firstly - you are still very close to town centre so there is still fair amount of light pollution. The English translator (as friendly as he was) would basically make stuff up when teaching on astronomy - giving wrong info. It felt rushed. The personal pictures were not as a good quality compared to other tours. Basically felt as though they’re just trying to make a quick buck from gullible tourists
