Fantastisch!

Unser Tourguide ist super nett. Er bringt sehr viel Wissen mit und versucht Fragen so gut es geht zu beantworten. Dabei macht er einen sehr professionellen Eindruck. Die Bilder sind super geworden. Das zusammen sitzen am Lagerfeuer war auch schön. Ich kann diese Tour nur weiterempfehlen.

Sehr schön, gemütlich und informativ

Wir würden das Chameleon stargazing total empfehlen! In der kleinen Gruppe war es wirklich ein sehr besonderer und gemütlicher Abend. Dick in Decken eingehüllt, macht es total Spaß mit dem bloßen Auge und später auch durch Teleskope den Nachthimmel zu erkunden. Dabei hat Adria uns viele Infos gegeben, alle Fragen beantwortet und seine eigenen Begeisterung an uns weitergetragen. Das intime Setting und dazu noch Schokolade und Marshmallows hat uns super gefallen!
