    “The Virtual Stargazing Tour (Indoors) was fantastic. We also did the Night Awe tour (Outside) chilly evening, nice hot drinks. Loved looking through the telescope, we saw Saturn and its ring,
    Amazing     !!! We learnt so much about the Planets and the stars. Luca is so passionate, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We definitely recommend doing this. Just go do it !!”

    “Stargazing with Luca is one of the best things you can do in New Zealand. As my friend and I did already the planetarium projection at Lucas place and saw how passionate this man is and how much we can learn from him, we decided that we want to come back for stargazing. Best decision, because we had an absolutely amazing night and were so lucky with the completely clear sky. Luca taught us so many things and took a lot of time to answer our questions understandably. The view on the moon, planets and stars through his telescope was just incredible. For warm up there was hot tea and blankets. All in all a perfect night for us.”
