What to expect
'We're going to make you an offer you can't refuse'. Well, this used to be Mafia country, after all. In fact, Hollywood descended on this part of the world to film scenes for the Godfather trilogy, so this tour will take in two Sicilian mountain villages that made it onto the silver screen and to relive some of the the most famous scenes.Little more than ghost towns, these Sicilian villages are virtually abandoned these days. First up will be little Savoca, where you'll find the church where Michael Corleone – played by Al Pacino – got married in. You'll walk in his footsteps as you discover the winding alleyways, and even sit in his chair in Bar Vitelli.After a glorious ride through the countryside, you'll soon arrive in medieval Forza d'Agro, a small mountain village, where you'll see the Church of Annuncation, also of Godfather fame. Even if you're not a fan of the films, the views from these clifftop villages are second to none.

One of the best tours we have ever been on! Our guide Fabio was fantastic! Full of knowledge, impressively moving seamlessly from English to German, incredibly welcoming and with a great sense of humour. He made sure the tour was well organised and ran very smoothly. A very safe and comfortable journey on the coach. Lots of information about the godfather films and visits to the sites where filming took place, but also a great focus on the villages and their history. Highly recommend!

This was a longer tour (about 7 hours from pick up to drop off) than advertised but absolutely worth it. Fabio was a brilliant guide, knowledgeable, entertaining and enthusiastic. The coach was comfortable and air conditioned but it is a lot of walking in the heat (I went in September) and some steep climbs and steps so be prepared. Worth watching the 1st 2 films again before you go (at least the Sicily scenes)

Nice to see more of Sicily. The guide was well informed and knew film and location well. Didn’t like the fact that you had multiple nationalities on board, requiring guide to speak in multiple languages. This slowed the tours narrative that became a bit tedious.

From being picked up outside our hotel and dropped off at the end, the tour was interesting, comfortable and thoughtfully put together. Fabio our guide was knowledgeable, sharing lots of fascinating viewpoints, not just about the Godfather but also about the cultural life of Sicily. There was time in both villages to explore. We were even able to enjoy a drink in Bar Vitelli. On a hot day there was limited shade to shelter, which for some people was tricky but manageable. Food stop was very good

The tour was great. Fabio our tour guide was very informative, he did not just tell us about the Godfather the movie, he also gave us the history of the villages and the history of the Mafia. Lunch is not included but we stopped off in one of the villages which had a lovely restaurant with great food and service. I must also say the coach driver was very good coping with those very windy roads. All In all a very good tour worth the money.

Highly recommend this tour with Fabio He made the tour very interesting by including a commentary on Sicilian history too. The locations were stunning. As Fabio said.. Sicily is not just about the Mafia as Francis Ford Coppola made The Godfather as a movie, not a documentary. We loved it! Thank you!

The driver was also excellent, we felt safe on the narrow mountain roads. The only problem we had was finding somewhere to have lunch as it was very busy with cruise boat guests.

I read the reviews before the trip so was glad we got the legendary Fabio as our guide. He was indeed a passionate guide and very knowledgeable. Much to see in Savoca and enough time to see it all. The bar Vitelli and the church obviously the highlights. Lots of actual historical value as well as film info. Definitely a memorable day, love from a Prestonian and a Geordie x

The tour lasted six hours, not only did it include a tour of some of the scenes of the Godfather movies, the guide also covered lots of other history. The tour included a visit to a number of historical old towns and we were also provided with plenty of free time to explore. What really made the trip was the guide, he was excellent. He had a vast amount of knowledge about the area and was clearly passionate about his home country. The guide was called Fabio - he was brilliant!

Supersnabb och god service av vår TUI-guide Alexandra i samband med bokning. Tack till Fabio, vår kunniga, engagerade och vänliga guide på turen som gav oss mycket intressant information med stort engagemang. Byggnadskonst, kultur, konst och historielektion i ett paket. Resan på slingriga serpentinvägar känndes också trygg på grund av den skickliga chauffören. Vi är supernöjda med dagen!

My only disappointment was not hearing the Godfather theme tune as we entered the coach. But I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Taormina.

Not enough time to actually go and visit the places you been driving for an hour plus to visit seems stupid. Why not make more time at each stop, so when first go and see stuff, there’s time to eat and hang out for a while?

Coach was comfortable and driver was good. Guide was disappointing. She was pleasant but didn’t seem to be knowledgeable at all on The Godfather movie which was the whole point of the trip. She was quite boring but this may have been due to language barrier.
