Andreas very friendly and...

Monica_S, Dec 2023
Andreas very friendly and knowledgable, appreciated the smaller group size (there were 5 of us) and allowed us to space to ask questions and get to know each other a little bit which was nice. Lots of fun seeing and learning about the constellations and how peoples around the world and in history have navigated the night sky. Was not expecting the night sky photography and personal photos of us to keep hold of to remember the experience!! Great location also.

Andreas was very knowledgeable and was very patient. He also sent us some great pictures afterwards. Location was well chosen and luckily we were able to see a lot, including Saturn.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you. It was a pleasure to me !

Amazing star (and planet!) gazing experience

Marcelle_W, Oct 2022
Wow! An amazing experience! We learned about the milkiway, planets, constellations, other galaxies and our location in space. Andreas is knowledgeable, patient and speaks several languages (at least German, English and Spanish). We had a great time and clear skies. Fantastic!

Een must op La Palma

Erg mooie en leuke ervaring om wat meer te weten te komen over ons sterrenstelsel en wat planeten/sterrencluster wat dichterbij te zien. Je wordt meegenomen in het enthousiaste verhaal van Andreas en krijgt achteraf nog prachtige foto's als herinnering.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dankje well! Best greetz, Andreas

We hebben onze ogen uitgekeken. Wat een indrukwekkende ervaring was dit met Andreas

Ton_V, Feb 2024
Het duizelingwekkende aantal lichtjaren dat wij van de sterren, planeten en andere zonnenstelsels verwijderd zijn en hoe klein de aarde in dit geheel is. Het indrukwekkende aantal hemellichamen dat wij konden zien. Wat een wonderschone wereld! Met dank aan onze enthousiaste gids Andreas!

Wonderbaarlijk!

Mooie beelden en toelichtende Verhalen. ………………………. ………………………………………………………….. Heel vervelend dat het susteem een minimum oplegt.

Schönes Erlebnis für jung und alt!
