Incredible stargazing experience - It was absolutely fantastic and breathtaking! Looking through the telescopes, we saw incredible details of the night! I was lucky enough to get a New Moon night, so It was perfect for stargazing. And to close on a super high, we got to see Jupiter and Saturn....life changing experience. Highly recommended!

Flat Earthers can take an L - It was a very cool experience seeing the stars, galaxies, and planets. Jhonatan is very humorous and knowledgeable. I'd highly recommend adding this to your itinerary.

Amazing Astronomy experience and photos! - We absolutely LOVED our star gazing experience! We appreciate Jonathan sharing his enthusiasm and expertise and being such a wonderful host and guide. We feel lucky to have seen other galaxies and planets and to learn so much in such a fun way. The snacks and wine were great, too! Thank you Jonathan and Roofless Tours!

Fab! - Great evening spent out in the desert. Personal photo, snacks & hot drinks, lots of information & then the highlight - viewing through the telescope. This included the Orion nebula, Jupiter & 4 moons plus Saturn. But the tarantula nebula & globular cluster blew me away - incredible!

Beautiful experience and visualization of planets - Possibly my favorite experiences in San Pedro de Atacama. It was our first time in an astronomical activity and was totally charming. The view of the sky, the excellent explanation by the guide. We were able to see different stars, nebulae and even the planets Mars, Jupiter and even the magical Saturn! Absolutely delighted with the activity from minute 1. In addition, we got some beautiful photographs next to the starry sky. 100% recommended.

Roofless and priceless experience - The experience was exceptional. I would say the most beautiful thing we did in Atacama. Jhonatan is extremely professional and prepared, I did not expect him to be also very nice and very hospitable. We spent a pleasant evening while he first told us the sky and then showed us his hidden jewels. I was very impressed by the very precise way he described things if we were going to see with the telescope. Last but not least the fantastic photo he took of us... a beautiful memory that made everything even more beautiful!

Excellent Astronomical Tour - With my wife we went to San Pedro to celebrate Marriage Anniversary, and looking for options we found the tour "Under the Stars: Culture and Astronomy in San Pedro de Atacama". We bought in Chiletur and everything worked flawless!! As soon as we bought, we received confirmation of our tickets by email and whatsapp, and they confirmed to pick us up at our Hotel. The day of the Tour, we were passed to look for spots, and everything worked out perfectly. We were greeted with a table of pecking and rich wines, we took beautiful photos, and then, using two large telescopes, we were able to observe stars, nebulae, planets (jupiter and saturne) and take a spectacular photo of the moon. All very well explained. Highly recommended experience.

Best night sky, reasonably good telescopes, control of guests needs improvement. - We could not hear a lot of. Johnathan's explanations before the viewing by telescope, and even after, because many guests were talking loudly and interrupting with asinine wisecracks and comments.
