He was extremely personable and funny. During the stargazing event in the evening, the clouds were moving in and out, but Todd threw clear spots in the clouds. I was able to point out, stars, planets, and constellations, as well as the Milky Way. He provided a wonderful lunch and dinner. And took us to the most wonderful donut shop you could imagine. lol. Anyone that visit Hawaii has to book with this tour company.…”

If you’re visiting Mt Teide then you have to do the Observatory Tour. 10/10”
