Review for: Join-In Stargazing Tour

Luca was very friendly and passionate about sharing his knowledge and experiences about our space. We were lucky to see the aurora on the day of our visit. He patiently answered all our questions esp our enthusiastic son had too many questions. Very informative session, highly recommend him.

The worst experience we ever hade. We just got cheated and the ride there was horrifying at night. When we reached at 10pm which is scheduled to start, there no one was there. Everything was closed. Please don't waste your money by booking this.
