So glad we took this tour

What an unforgettable experience! We were picked up by David, who knows everything there is to know about Arizona. We did an easy desert hike and got to experience the uniqueness of the area. He was able to show us everything to see in the night sky. The stars in that area were spectacular. Throughout, David was patient and easygoing. Ever since we have gotten home, my 10 year old son (who is not the easiest kid to engage with) wants to tell everyone about our tour. He even said that our guide was "cool" (which I agree with).

We really enjoyed getting out into the Sonoran desert away from Phoenix to see the stars. David was thoroughly knowledgeable and patient as we peppered him with questions. He also brought along a few reptillian friends to show us. This was a very enjoyable experience and I highly recommend it. Bob Riley

Wonderous Night Sky

My husband and I really enjoyed this experience. It was exciting to listen to the wild life in the Superstition Mountains and watch the constellations and other stars come out as the night sky got darker. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and made the experience a worthwhile and meaningful trip! I would highly recommend it!

Night sky like no other

An amazing experience! We saw Venus, Uranus, Polaris, and many, many constellations in a clear night sky. Dave, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and a phenomenal driver- didn’t hit one boulder driving in the desert. He showed us a meteorite. He even waited while we got ice cream for the kids on our way back to the hotel.
