      A different kind of Sedona experience
      Orlando_M, Mar 2023
      Chad is a positive person and leads a creative event. We learned much about astronomy and ancient cultures that I would like to research further.
      Response from Host, Mar 2023
      Thank you so much Orlando as it was fantastic having you and Christa on tour💫 I wish you the best in your future adventures and explorations of the night sky and elsewhere 💫
      Highly recommend
      Neha_G, Mar 2023
      This night sky story tour with Chad was quite amazing. In the cold and breezy Sedona night, he was quite prepared with comfortable chairs, blankets and hand warmers. The greek stories and their relation the names and structure of the constellations were quite fun. Would recommend tour to adults and families with children. It gets quite nippy at night, so warm clothing needed.
      Response from Host, Mar 2023
      Thank you so much Neha!💫 It was a great pleasure having you on tour as I enjoyed your interest and enthusiasm. And yes, Sedona is at 4500 ft elevation so it gets cold here at night generally from November through April. January and February are the coldest. I'm glad you enjoyed the blankets and hand warmers and I wish you the best on your future adventures and explorations of the night sky💫
      Highly recommend this tour! Kids will enjoy it too.
      Elizabeth_B, Mar 2023

      Inspirational experience
      Tom_A, Mar 2023
      Very cool. Chad was prepared with blankets and hand warmers for the cool night to make us comfortable for some legit astronomy + history + mythology. Connected the Constellations to Greek and indigenous mythology then layered in some core astronomical realities that put our planet into galactic perspective. It was awesome.
      Response from Host, Mar 2023
      Thank you so much Tom! It was a great pleasure having you, Jo Ann, Eva, and Rowan on tour💫 I loved your enthusiasm and thoughts on the night sky. I wish you all the best in future explorations and adventures within it💫

      Another Great Sedona Experience
      Keegan_W, Dec 2022
      The Night Sky Tour was great and I highly recommend it to anybody looking to take full advantage of the brilliant stargazing Sedona has to offer. Chad (the guide) was wonderful, with as much genuine passion and enthusiasm as he had knowledge of the sky. Not to mention, setting us all up with chairs, blankets, hand warmers, and flashlights! Just another of the many terrific experiences I had throughout my first trip to Sedona.
      Response from Host, Jan 2023
      Thank you so much Keegan! It was fantastic meeting you and having you on the tour💫 I'm so glad you had a great Sedona experience on your odyssey adventure to the southwest. Say hello to the Midwest for me please when you get back to Michigan because, as you know, I'm originally from Indiana😊
      Don’t miss this

      Anthony_R, Nov 2022
      He tied a lot of different aspects of astronomy, constellations, astrology, and mythology together, from creek and roman to native american.
      Response from Host, Dec 2022
      Thank you so much Anthony, I'm so glad you appreciated that. It was so great meeting you, Laura, and Karl. All of your enthusiams towards the night sky were enjoyable to be with, and young Karl was so impressive with his interest and....Star Wars shirt!.which we referenced on tour in connection with Sedona🙂.

      Cool Stories and Info
      Jessica_R, Nov 2022
      This was an interesting experience. It was pretty cold, but the guide supplied blankets and popcorn. We heard some cool stories, local history, and geology facts. The stars weren't as bright as they could have been since there was a full moon, but they were a lot brighter than I can see at home.
      Response from Host, Nov 2022
      Thank you so much Jessica as It was so great having you and A.J. on The Night Sky Tour!
      Worthwhile doing
      Corina_W, Nov 2022
      Detailed information that Chad provided. He knew his material and came with lots of blankets - very important given how chilly it was.
      Response from Host, Nov 2022
      Thank you so much Corina! It was great having you, Kari, Greg, and James on the Night Sky Tour. I appreciated you enthusiasm and the muffled claps through the blankets :) I'm very glad the tour brought you all closer to the cosmos and I wish you all the best on your future night sky adventures!

      Daniel_G, Nov 2022
      From learning the constellations to learning about the native tribes and understanding our orientation in our Galax and how everything is orbiting. It was insightful and fun. Really just a great time. And the stars were incredible!
      Response from Host, Nov 2022

      Speaker very nice on time great set up and knowledgeable! Wish there was a scope to look through to see stars
      The Universe, Ancient Cultures, and a Chicken…yep that happened!
      Casey_P, Oct 2022
      This experience was so much fun! We learned a lot, laughed a bit, someone sang a little, and then we stared at the night sky while we got to contemplate our place in the universe and hear from ancient cultures. Chad was knowledgeable and funny and we just really enjoyed it! We kept talking throughout the whole next day about everything that was built into the experience. Amazing! Dress warm, the desert gets cold at night. Who knew?
      Response from Host, Oct 2022

      Our host was very knowledgeable and informative. Our night was a little cloudy but we were still able to get the full experience through different models and visualizations that were very helpful in explaining the concept of the stars.
