Visit of Forza D'Agrò, a charming medival village overlooking the coastline towards Messina. many scenes of the movie where shot in this village, for example, this is the place where Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) and his henchmen are walking through the streets of Corleone. here were shot the scenes in which Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando), still a child, escapes from Sicily with the help of a family friend after his parents were killed by the local boss. He goes through the village hidden inside a large basket hooked to the side of a donkey.
It is possible to add a visit to "Castello degli Scgiavi" (The Slaves' Castle), located in Fiumefreddo di Sicilia, Where several scenes of the film where shot, especially the one in which the young Apollonia, Michael Corleone's wife, is killed by a bomb in the car.

We had a fantastic Godfather tour with Giuseppe. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He showed us all the important sights. His English was excellent as well. We highly recommend him!
Our tour guide was Marcelo, he made a tour and experience. He not only gave fun facts but the passion and knowledge on everything about the Godfather movies and the area was very impressive. If you go to Sicily and are a intrigued about the La Costra Nostra, this is your tour and Marcelo is your guide! Your friends Francesco and Giovani!
Charming hill towns with lots of steep walking but beautiful so very worth the effort. We saw many places where the Godfather was filmed - sadly missed the villa but saw all the rest. Watch the first Godfather before taking the tour. Great little restaurant for pizza and wine too.
Very good people. Ricardo was amazing. Great places. We loved the tour. They arrived on time, and was very comfortable.
The godfather movie tour provider is very irresponsible. Our private tour was reserved 2 days earlier, but on the day nobody showed up at 8:30 am to pickup us from the hotel as arranged. No response to our messages. After help from our hotel desk, it turned out the provider was running out of guides or cars, but didn’t bother to let us know. After protests, they finally booked us in the late afternoon (3:30 pm) for this “5 to 7 hours tour”. We had other pre arranged tours for next few days so have to accept this unwelcome change. Very disappointed, please DONT USE THIS TOUR. Our guide is very good though, friendly and knowledgeable, very helpful.
We apologize again for the inconvenience! I understand your disappointment, but we didn't receive the booking notification email from Viator; in fact, we did, but it ended up in our spam folder. I don't know how this happened; it's the first time it happens. For this reason, we weren't scheduled for your excursion. Despite this, we did everything we could to accommodate your request and managed to find a solution, and you had a wonderful experience, as you yourself admitted. We always respond to booking notification emails within 24 hours of receipt.
Wonderful driver Martino and company went out of their way to make our trip work on short notice with just areas we wanted to see.
I highly recommend this tour for both Godfather film fans, and visitors who want to get away from the city and see the beautiful Sicilian countryside. Our guide, Ricardo, was outstanding and shared his vast knowledge of the film locations. It was awesome to be able to see inside some of the sites - much more than what is seen in the films. We did go to the Castle of the Slaves, based on Ricardo’s recommendation, and it was a highlight of the tour. So glad we did this tour. It was a perfect day in gorgeous Sicily!
We were very excited to do The Godfather Tour. And it exceeded our expectations. The island of Sicily is so beautiful. It is one of my favorite places that I have ever been. The village of Savoca was amazing with incredible views, and delicious food and drinks at Bar Vitelli. We also enjoyed the Village of Forza d'Agrò. We were going to skip the third stop at Castello degli Schiavi. Our tour guide Riccardo highly recommend adding it so we did. What a treat! The gentleman who lives there gave us a tour of the beautiful property that has been in his family since 1630s. WE LOVED THIS TOUR!!!
Giuseppe was fantastic. Definitely do the add on to the home where Michael Corleone’ s family home, Costello Degli Shiavi. That was the highlight of the tour. The Barone as your guide was absolutely a gem. We loved every minute of the tour. Such fun and totally interesting. Highly recommend!
Ricardo was so knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to show us as much as possible. He made sure we were happy and comfortable at all times. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful place and I only wish we had more time to experience more of it!
