Ustica is not just the sea! - Wonderful experience that I highly recommend. Lie down under the stars with a speaker who tells you about the spectacular celestial vault giving very interesting professional information both from a historical, scientific and even mythological point of view.

The wonder of the starry firmament explained in a memorable evening! - The most beautiful and evocative experience of admiring the starry night sky in Ustica at its darkest point, with indications of the constellations, explanation of the mythological figures with which they are associated and the correlations between them and why one is close to the other. .. With complete and perfect equipment to make the experience comfortable at night even if it refreshes everyone lying down in comfort looking at the sky and listening to the erudite and vast narration of our guide who actively involved us in the discovery and also "interrogated" us to check what we had learned! And what's more, the gift from the sky of a long and bright meteor that crossed the firmament making us cry out in surprise!!! Don't miss this experience, two unmissable hours to absolutely spend in Ustica!

DISCOVERING USTICA - The first thing we recommend you do as soon as you arrive in Ustica is...get to know Vittorio! We got lost in his stories, immediately. Boat excursion, astronomical and geological... nothing short of wonderful! We got to know Ustica deeply and literally fell in love with it. Vittorio was a perfect guide, a bit like that friend who hosts you at home and takes you to discover the most unusual places, telling you stories and anecdotes. This review truly comes from the heart...because Vittorio..."he deserves it!" We will see each other soon!

The best astronomical observation in Sicily - Beautiful, magical and relaxing experience. Competence, professionalism and friendliness were immediately evident, guiding us through a stellar journey that revealed a universe of constellations, each with its own fascinating story. It wasn't just about seeing the Milky Way and the bright dots in the sky, but about immersing ourselves in the ancient legends and astronomical curiosities that the stars hide. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to combine learning and emotion, all seasoned with a pinch of magic. The island of Ustica and the chosen observation points are perfect, I can't wait to participate again!

SUPER RECOMMENDED - We met Vittorio by chance and he was immediately friendly and helpful, we felt at home as if we had met an old friend. Given the short time, we participated in only two excursions: astronomical evening and geological excursion. Beautiful experiences, no one had explained the stars to me so well!! with great intelligence, scientific preparation, fun and above all passion. Even with the geological excursion we were amazed and we learned so many things and let's say it wasn't easy for a geologist and a geology student. if you go to Ustica don't miss the excursions with Vittorio they will remain in your heart!! super super recommended Marilù and Vittoria

Vittorio is a legend - Absolutely worth doing. Vittorio will tell you with competence and sympathy all the stars in the sky between mythology and very nice reality.

Astronomical excursion in Ustica - This experience is truly singular and original in its uniqueness, it is wonderful to lie down with your gaze turned towards the celestial vault while Vincenzo enchants with his story in which in an excellent combination of history and legend he tells and shows the constellations one after the other, explaining how they are now and how they were in the times of the Sumerians and Greeks when the stories related to the constellations were born. It is an excursion not to be missed because it is enriching the listener and because in addition to being fascinated by Vincenzo's words and the superb beauty of the Milky Way in a clear sky unpolluted by the brightness of the inhabited centers, one is also lulled by the lapping of the waves of the sea nearby which enchants, recalling how the immensity of the Universe merges with the sea in an eternity suspended between the light of the stars that has traveled to us for thousands of light years and an eternal present.

Unforgettable experience! - A magical experience in an evocative place where, lulled by Vittorio's words, you discover the stars between science and mythology. Mandatory experience for anyone arriving in Ustica. Thanks Vittorio from Caterina and Francesco!
