It was a well organized/prepared tour and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The host was very knowledgeable and the information he provided us about all the stars was in depth. We saw a space station! The telescope was meh, to be honest. Don't expect to be able to see anything like the photos of the planets posted on this tour description; you only get to see some bright dots, just barely magnified version of what you see with your eyes.

We booked this the day before our visit to Sedona. Communication with company was great. Easy to find the location.
Wes and Keenan were our Star Guides for the night. So informative and extremely knowledgeable. They guided our eyes right to the stars and the galaxies visible. We were lucky enough to see the Space Station go buy! My husband was lucky enough to notice a booster rocket in the sky. These guides really know their stuff.
This experience is an absolute a must!!!

The star gazing tour would have been great, except for the clouds--which were not the fault of the company. The first day, we were unable to find the site. The person in charge contacted us and allowed us to go the next night. Right after we started, it suddenly got cloudy and they had to call it off. They made sure we were able to get a refund due to weather from the place we booked it, trip advisor. They did everything they could do for us. Nicely handled by Sedona Stargazing.

Good presentation and deep knowledge of the skies from the guide.
Two big disappointments that were out of their control and a future consumer needs to keep in mind.
We were there with a full moon present. That brightness washed out one of the items i really wanted to see --- The Milky Way.
The second disappointment, going in, i was hoping to get a look at Saturn from the telescope. However, it would not rise above the horizon until 2 or 3 that morning.
Very good explanation behind the location (using laser pointer) and "creation" of constellations .

It should have been cancelled because of clouds. There are so many negatives about it I will describe a few.
1. the laser pointer they were attempting to point out this with would show until it hit the clouds so it never really pointed to anything.
2. They should warn that progressive glasses will not work with the eye piece of the telescope so not really able to view the stars through the telescopes. the Binoculars just made the clouds larger. (it was not totally clouded over, however there was to many mid level clouds to enjoy the evening. The laser being blocked showed the cloud cover).
3. It is spread out and they do not use any amplification for the presenter. What I was able to hear, was interesting though.
To me it was a total waste of money and time. I have done others in other places where the sky was clear and it was great. This was a very negative experience.

Incredibly knowledgeable retired astronomer gave our large group a tour of the stars, using large telescopes, binoculars and laser pointers to highlight a variety of stars, planets, and even the international space station! Great location, blankets and chairs provided (no hot chocolate tho). Tips: 1. Try to time your trip to a new moon phase (darker sky, easier to see the stars) 2. The start time changes throughout the year based on sunset 3. The chairs are the standard issue outdoor collapsible chairs, if you want something comfier bring it with you. 4. If you bring kids, they will almost certainly fall asleep - bring them in pajamas and save yourself the headache. Would definitely reccomend as a way to explore the benefits of a dark sky community - so many stars!

The tour is was a waste of money. The site is in a school soccer field. Cars are constantly driving by. I could have gotten the same view by standing in my hotel’s balcony.
The staff was making the best of the limited views we had, very knowledgeable. Don’t waste your money, plenty of beautiful stuff to do in Sedona.

We thought the tour was underwhelming. It was challenging to see the stars clearly even with the telescopes which were set up by the guides. It would be great if they told some of the more interesting stories about the constellations that they pointed out with the laser. In our opinion it seemed overpriced for the experience.

The pair of instructors were excellent—making the best of a disappointing evening when a bank of clouds rolled in to obstruct the view.

It was an amazing experience. I’ll definitely be back. Wes and Koala were so knowledgeable and they thought of everything! My only recommendations are for someone clueless like me I could use a telescope tutorial 😄 and hot chocolate.
