My friend and I were in Ustica for a quick trip while in Sicily and tumbled upon this astronomical excursion. As we did not speak any Italian, the staff warned us that our experience may not be as positive because we would miss out on details, jokes, and othe technical facts. We understood this and decided to go anyways, because at 15 euros a person it was not an expensive activity. We are extremely happy to have decided to go because the sky was extremely clear that night and we were able to see mulitple shooting stars! Even though we do not speak Italian, with our French and Spanish fluency we were able to follow the general course of the tour of the night sky with cognates, basic knowledge of astrology, and the pointer used by the guide. While we often did not get the jokes, everyone else in the group seemed to find everything really entertaining. A wonderful adventure with a kind guide!

Avvolti dal cielo,coperti dalle stelle Vittorio ci ha fatto sognare, una esperienza indimenticabile, assolutamente da non perdere!!!

Luboldi

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 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!

Unique and Magical. Absolutely a must in Ustica! You don't know what you're missing if you don't! Take advantage of it!

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!

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!

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

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

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.
