Ustica: notonly sea - Let Vittorio guide you on his excursions if you want your holiday to go beyond tanning and become a real journey. The geological excursion, like the others we did with him, was also very interesting. See where Ustica was born, find the rocks that drive the compasses crazy and much more news on a fantastic 2-hour tour that ended with a sunset aperitif. Too bad I discovered Vittorio too late.

Discovering the island - Vittorio, professionalism and fun. A pleasant excursion to discover the secrets of the island. Too bad not to have time to be able to do all the activities that Vittorio and his agency Ciprea offers.

Highly recommended - The dinghy ride was very suggestive, the tour of Ustica was fantastic. Vittorio is a perfect guide: friendliness and cheerfulness combined with deep knowledge of the area and love for the island made our day the best of the holiday. Thanks Vittorio!

You can't wait to do another one: BEAUTIFUL - The most enriching experiences of the holiday in Ustica were the excursions with Ciprea. The geological visit is super interesting, you learn so many things in a breathtaking setting, all seasoned with Vittorio's incredible oratory art, engaging and fun, truly an exceptional guide. Do them all because we deserve it.

Engaging experience - Phenomenal experience, Vittorio is an exceptional guide, friendly and engaging. He knows how to make even complicated concepts simple (and fun). In addition to the geological one we made another excursion, unfortunately we weren't able to do them all because we didn't have time, we will return to Ustica to complete the experiences and to return to say goodbye to Vittorio.
