Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information with us. The best part was looking through the telescope and seeing the beautiful images. Possibly you could tell participants to bring plenty of warm clothing, it wasn’t clear to us that we would be standing still outside for more than an hour. Thank you for the opportunity
Hat sich sehr gelohnt! Man sieht super viele verschiedene Sterne & Planeten. Highly recommend!
Great experience! Been on the road with Alex, who was knowledgable on both the stars and the island. View is super sharp with the equipment and little light polution up the hills
Eine unvergessliche Tour mit Spitzen Equipment. Der Guide ist sehr erfahren und enthusiastisch. Einfach nur WOW. TOP kann man nur empfehlen
A wonderful stargazing experience. With two telescopes, our group observed stars and distant galaxies and learned a lot about astronomy. The guides were friendly, very knowledgeable, drove carefully, and made sure everyone got a chance to view the sky. Tip: wear very warm clothes—mountain temperatures dropped to about +6–7 °C.
Very good 👍
Great experience with a wonderful team
The guide had superb knowledge. The images seen with the telescope were stunning. A great experience
Visited part of the island with no light pollution. A knowledgeable guide, with very good equipment, i.e. a telescope with a digital eyepiece, which has a small OLED screen underneath the lens to display the image.. This lets you see much fainter objects, and in colour, than an ordinary eyepiece. My first time looking through one of these, it’s very good. Recommend the tour. We were promised copies of the digital images that he downloaded from the eyepiece to his phone, and these haven’t arrived, otherwise would be 5 star review.
