Review of Antofagasta’s small-group stargazing tour near San Pedro, with Andean astronomy, telescope viewing, snacks, and astrophotography.
“DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY! Noone showed up at the pick-up point and we couldn‘t reach anyone via the phone. We got a text response after the tour should have started already. After communicating the situation the person on the other end said she was „figuring it out“ and to „take our time“. Then she never texted us again. It was our last night in Atacama which means that we didn‘t get to go stargazing at all, so basically they ruined our trip.”
Review of the Atacama Astronomical Tour, with telescope viewing, bilingual guides, photos, drinks, transport details, and practical booking advice.
“I have 5 stars based on the enthusiasm and personality of the guides. They were great. The organisation lets them down, we were given incorrect details around pick up time and location with no communication when we reached out. We were left waiting for the pick up for an extra hour and a half, which was unnecessary.”
