Incredible experience. - Amazing experience on the astronomical tour with the El Tatio agency! The Atacama sky is truly impressive, and being able to observe so many details with explanations was unforgettable. An indispensable activity for those who visit the region.

Amazing night sky tour! - I really enjoyed my Astronomical Tour, the guide was great and very knowledgeable about the stars and everything in the sky. It was a full moon and was still able to see a lot of sky. I highly recommend and make sure to bundle up because it can get cold out there at night.

It's worth it - An incredible experience! Lots of information! Many discoveries and clear the incredible photos impossible to be taken from elsewhere due to the specificity of the sky and climate of Atacama

Very good tour company - We had an audio tour at the meteor museum but unfortunately it was a very cloudy night and it was late by the time the clouds cleared enough for the star gazing. As we had been travelling all day we opted to defer the star gazing until another night. Unfortunately the next time we tried it was also very cloudy but the operator refunded the cost of the tour. I would definitely recommend this tour operator as they were very helpful.

Sky with a thousand and one stars - A breathtaking sky! A thousand and one stelae, constellations, milky way... You can't take your eye off the sky. It's very beautiful. Furthermore, on the tour they provide resources for you to see with instruments - powerful telescopes - to see up close.

Explore other star tours first - Before arriving to San Pedro de Atacama, I was thoroughly excited about stargazing its night skies. Unfortunately, this tour didn’t live up to that expectation. The tour operator originally gave me a 30 minute window for hotel pickup, but it ended up being an hour of waiting for pick up. The tour operator only provided information about the delay once they had been contacted by my hostel. The tour is held in someone’s backyard. Even though there is a fence surrounding the backyard, it is right beside a road. Throughout the tour, multiple cars were driving by. Seeing their highlights certainly interfered with the “dark night” experience. We spent about more than half the tour listening to the guide speak, both in Spanish and English, about stars, constellations, and planets and then, pointing them out with his laser. There are two telescopes and we looked at about six stars and planets in total. The rest of the tour was spent taking individual and group photographs. There was a reception at the end of the tour, which actually was very lovely, where they offered drinks and snacks in a garden lit with lights and played music. The tour was advertised for 3 hours and I arrived back to my hostel around 2 and half hours later.

Lousy tours - It's a waste of time, it was a photo section. I didn't learn anything a little cocktail. I didn't take any pictures. I thought they'd explain on screen or dome about galaxies

CANCELLATION WITHOUT REFUND - The tour was canceled two days ago and I still haven't received a refund!!! Trouble finding other options so close to the date and making the amount available without having received it.
