Even though the night we went had a few clouds, the tour was amazing! I really enjoyed the information our guide shared with us about constellations and the local mountain range. I felt safe and well taken care of with our guide and I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the amazing sights you see after the sun goes down!
