Astronomer very interesting and knowledgeable. Very friendly and accommodating. Paid particular attention to those at the telescope to make sure they see what he has pointed out. Answered questions from guests. It was a bit pricey but I would still recommend. More

I love the evening sky, but this was my wife's idea. We live in the country back east, thought I saw it all in the skies. Never could I imagine the sights, we had a great guide that was able to point out constellations as well as a galaxy seen with unaided eye with the help of a laser pointer.... More

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Sedona... Our guide was superb, so knowledgeable, and very personable as well. Chairs and blankets were provided, and group size was small so that everyone could have a personal experience. Worth the money, loved every minute of it!! More

We thoroughly enjoyed our star gazing outing. We met our tour guide in a parking lot and walked a short distance to a group of chairs around a huge telescope. Our guide was very knowledgeable as he patiently answered all questions. I think that we had a much better experience because one of the gentlemen in our group asked lots... More

I was skeptical of the whole experience when my wife suggested it, but was very impressed. Our guide, Dave, was extremely helpful in pointing out the stars and systems, and the stray coyote that tried to crash the experience. It is an experience that I would recommend. More

One of the first things I did after coming home was to write EST and thank them for an awesome evening. As I gazed at the sky on a clear, crisp October nite, I listened to a very knowledgeable guide (Matt) about happenings in the sky and the evolution of our world. It is true that we are all made...

The Evening Sky Tour in Sedona is well worth your time. Our astronomer guide, Dave, was engaging and informative, showing us constellations, the international space station, and galaxies. I had never seen images like this outside of textbooks or websites, so it was an educational treat! More

This experience was very interesting, informative and fun. Worth the money. David, our guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. He never seemed to be bothered by what were certainly amateur questions. The stars were beautiful and plentiful. I was a bit surprised how close to Sedona the viewing was held. I would have expected, and preferred to be a few... More

We just got back from stargazing with Evening Sky Tours in Sedona and I felt the need to post a review right away because we had such a good time. The location was just a few minutes away from our hotel and easy to find. The friendly staff met us there and guided us to the parking area. Once everyone... More

We are from Los Angeles and it is easy to forget how many stars/planets there are. David, our tour guide, was very knowledgable. We saw innumerable stars, constellations, and planets. If you come to Sedona, this is a must do. More
