Katia and Renzo transform a Good Tour into a Wonderful Tour. If you go to Messina, you can’t miss this one. Thanks to Katia and Renzo for contributing to a second to none tour 👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing tour. If you love the Godfather or not, the towns are amazing. Quiet and not too touristy. We ate canolli and pistachio granita at Bar Vitelli! Then had lunch at Bar Solvenir - food was excellent, views were amazing! Our tour guide was fantastic too!
We really enjoyed this tour up into the hills to see villages connected to the Godfather films. Our guide and driver were both very friendly, professional and informative. We walked around Savoca with beautiful views of Etna in the distance (we could have spent a little more time here to look around the shops). We then went on to Forza d’Agro where we were shown round and given two hours for lunch. Again, the views over the sea and mountains were stunning. Everything was very well organised and communication from the company beforehand was excellent. It’s not easy to get to these places by public transport so this was a great way to get to see them.
Went on the godfather tour today with the best tour guide ever- Ecaterina !!! She was so knowledgeable and made the tour even more enjoyable. She also gave us wonderful food recommendations we enjoyed both the restaurant she recommended and the cannoli place. We first went to see the Godfather part 1 locations- the church where the wedding was, where they walked after, and bar Vitelli where Michael asked for permission to marry her. We then went to Taormina where our great tour continued and we also had some free time to walk around and for lunch. Also saw Mount etna from afar which was nice ! Don’t miss this tour and def ask for ecaterina she truly was the very best!!!!!!!!!!!
Great tour operator. Katia was terrific. Very knowledgeable and professional and caring for our needs. I highly recommend her and her company Discover Messina. We loved every minute and our driver Giacomo was great.
We had a beautiful day in the country side relaxing time for lunch and some shopping. Views of Mt. Etna were beautiful. Most of all we enjoyed our host Giulia’s she was so sweet and knowledgeable. Enjoyed a drink together and a light bite. The car service was awesome picked us right at our port and her sign was visible for us to spot. Our driver was excellent Jocko.
We had the absolute pleasure of having Mariarita as our tour guide for the Godfather tour in Savoca and later around Taormina. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and professional, while also being warm and kind throughout the day. What made the experience truly special were the little hidden facts and gems she shared about both areas — details we never would have discovered on our own. Her passion for the history and culture really shone through, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and highly recommend Mariarita to anyone visiting Savoca or Taormina. With gratitude, Anthony
What a great day in Sicily! We came in for one day on a cruise and this tour did not disappoint. Pick up and drip off were very easy. We loved our guide, Claudia, who is very knowledgeable of the area. Our driver, Michelangelo, was fantastic too. Highly recommend!!!!
Our tour guide Alessandra was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about the areas we went to and our driver was great as well.
Our guide was outstanding! Katie was a delightful caring and informative tour guide as she took us on the Messina and Godfather tour, yesterday. She generously provided us with an almond cookie on the bus and shared with us all of the rich history of Messina. She was like family to us so rapidly that I even invited her to be a guest in my home if she ever wants to visit Michigan in the United States Hands-down she gets a 10 star review from me!
I don't know when, but I promise I will come to visit you! Thank you for the wonderful memories and your trust! Feel free to return to Sicily as I would love to show you more of this wonderful magical land! A big hug! KAtia
