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!

Vittorio's creativity made the visit not only rich in content but also very original in presentation. We were very happy to meet Vittorio and to have spent this evening under the stars under his Guide.

Vittorio (the Guide) is a person who knows how to entertain the people around him. He was very thorough in the astronomical explanation and managed to keep the focus thanks to irony.
Recommendation this visit because it deserves.
