An incredible evening, with a fantastic host - What an amazing experience, and can highly recommend that you do this if you get the chance. Jhonatan is incredibly knowledgable, and a fantastic host for the evening. It will give you an introduction to astronomy, to the amazing southern hemisphere skies, and some remarkable sights. It was one of the best things we did in our whole time in Chile.

Excellent - Unique experience. They received us very well, the appetizers prepared in great detail, being able to look at the stars with the telescope was spectacular, very interesting explanations and the photo with the milky way in the background was wonderful, we took a great memory! Very happy to have chosen them to make the tour.

Best Stargazing Tour in Atacama / possibly the world - Hands Down! - Jhonatan and team are absolutely amazing! We did a few of these tours in Atacama, and nothing else came close to this experience. From the start, communication, hotel pick up, explanations of the constellations etc, to the end, drop-off etc, everything was perfect. The tour also wasn't unnecessarily long, which keeps it interesting. Any and all questions were answered promptly, and the pictures that they click for you on the tour are surreal! It looks like some fake studio shot, as the sky is unlike anything you'll ever see anywhere else in the world. This tour's average rating shouldn't be at 4.9 honestly, it's a straight 5.0

Incredible experience - I am still flashed by the universe and its stars 48 hours after this wonderful event with picnic, photo shoot and great explanations. We learnt how to take a professional pic with our iPhone, about the blue, yellow and red stars. We were lucky to see Saturn and a shooting star in our picture. We saw another galaxy, the Milky Way, Scorpion, Vega and many other star pictures. It was simply amazing.

Out of this world amazing - Jhonatan and the Atacama Tours team were organized, communicative, and professional from the time I booked to the follow-up after the tour. The whole tour was so smooth, fun, and informative. The snacks went beyond what I was expecting, and Jhonatan also taught us how to set up our cameras (including our mobile phones) so we could take pictures of the sky. The Roofless tour was a highlight of my visit to the Atacama and I can't recommend Atacama Tours high enough!

A must do when in Atacama Desert - We enjoyed a lot the stargazing tour with Jonathan (the guide) and Mauricio (the driver). The information provided was very helpful and made the tour a memorable one. Jonathan took impressive pictures of all the participants and we all enjoyed observing stars, clouds of starts and the moon through professional equipment. Jonathan’s good mood, humor, and professional explanations about the planet, stars and galaxies added a lot of value to the experience, making it both educational and entertaining.I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting San Pedro de Atacama!

Small lesson in astronomy in the desert - Very interesting to do, EN knowing that the dessert of ATACAMA IS A HIGH PLACE for the exploration of the sky. Interesting because very playful and therefore not boring and especially with fairly simple explanations. It was a great experience. The only disappointment is that we could not see Saturn.
