Full description

Enjoy the sights and tastes of Italy à la The Godfather in the company of a knowledgeable, English-speaking tour guide. 

Your guide will pick you up at your hotel or port at a time suitable to you before beginning your tour in Savoca, a medieval hilltop town where the fictitious Michael Corleone hid out during the "Going to the Mattresses" scene. 

In Savoca, stop at Bar Vitelli, which looks exactly as it did in the movie. At Bar Vitelli, you will be invited to take pictures with an authentic Sicilian shotgun, see pictures from The Godfather movie, enjoy the view from the square where the wedding scene was filmed, and purchase souvenirs. 

Your next stop will be the church of Santa Lucia, where Michael and Apollonia got married. You will follow in the footsteps of the newlyweds down the hill into the town. Once in the town, visit another ancient church, dating back to the 13th century. 

Your guide will tell you about the filming processes involved in shooting The Godfather and some fun trivia about the movie, the director, and the actors. Discover the history of the real Sicilian mafia from your guide.

Hear how the mafia rose to power, its structure, and about the "Law of Silence", "Men of Respect" and the "Boss of the Bosses".

During the tour in Savoca, you will also see the mirror monument dedicated to Coppola, on the panoramic terrace overlooking the Ionian coast, the site of Michael Corleone's wedding scene.

After all this walking and learning, you will be taken to visit a friendly family-owned restaurant with breathtaking panoramic view over the mountains and the ocean, where you can try organic locally produced, traditional food including cheeses, salami, prosciutto, olives, homemade bread, sun-dried tomatos, and pasta with refreshing local wine. 

Your tour will continue to Forza D'Agro, another stunning hilltop town. Your guide will lead you along abandoned streets towards the historic square where you will visit the churches Santissima Trinita and Santissima Annunziata.

In Forza D'Agro, you will see the piazza where young Vita Andolini escaped from Don Ciccio's men and you will walk up to the remains of a 12th-century Norman Castle to admire the panoramic view of the Ionian coastline.

Our guide Marco was fantastic! His knowledge of the movies, the location and passion for his homeland of Sicily is essential to why this tour was so enjoyable. He was very friendly and his relationships with the locals in the towns we visited helped to give us a superior experience to what you would get on your own not knowing anything or anyone. Marco always offers to take photos ( and they turned out great!), arrange tables, cookies, lunch, drinks or whatever we needed to enjoy our tour. My wife is afraid of heights and he adjusted the driving route to accommodate to make her more comfortable. Upon arrival back in Messina he took us to a special vista that no other tourist would most likely see and showed us where to visit in town before we got back on our cruise ship. In all, this tour is expensive but we highly recommend it for the personalization and knowledge guide.

Marco was our guide and I cannot say enough good things about him. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our day very much and he made sure we had a wonderful time. I highly recommend this tour and if Marco is your guide, you will learn a lot about his beautiful country. Just ask.

We had an amazing all-day private Godfather tour with Marco! The experience is worth having for anyone visiting Sicilia: history, movie sites, bar, stunning views, distant villages where you’re welcome with treats like caponata and parmigiana. All that and a great attention to details from Marco and his boss, made this trip a true highlight of our vacation. Love Italy!
