Great experience! Transportation is done with a mini bus with wonderful sceneries on the way. As a bonus our guide gave us some nice explanations of the nature around. The tour is done by professional astronomers - very knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions. Beautiful stars! Definitely take enough warm clothes with you to enjoy the time outside.
