My friend is a massive Godfather fan so we loved being able to go on this private tour with Gabrielle. He was lovely, extremely knowledgeable and played clips for her as we visited sites (and even went to some she didn't know were there). He also offered to move the time of our tour so we missed all the cruise tour groups making it a really intimate tour. I would strongly recommend going on this tour if you're interested in the Godfather.
Thanks for Amazing sweet words!
Gabriele provided my parents and I with an unforgettable tour of a lifetime. He was there to pick us up in Taormina early and his expertise, navigation (to all the key sites), positive energy, and knowledge were radiant, as he guided us in his car throughout the charming hills of Savoca and Forza d’Agro. Along the journey Gabriele gave us opportunities to sample delicious staples of the region: lemon granita, homemade cookies, pizza just an overall amazing experience. He was even cool enough to show us the filming locations of White Lotus S2. Highly recommended fun day with a great Sicilian- grazie fratello!! A+
Always at your service and desire!
We had a wonderful tour today with Gabriele. He was very knowledgeable and informative and great fun! We saw some of the beautiful film locations as well as the stunning taormina coast and finished with a lovely lunch. Thank you Gabriele! Anita
Thanks Always at you and your gentlemen and lovely smiling daughter,see you for next Adventure!
Be prepared to take lots of photos. You feel like you have been transported back in time and on to a movie set.
grazie mille!you are a couple superlative,see you next time with more sleep! ;)
If you’re a fan of the God Godfather series and want to know about how the movie was made and see the locations, Gabrielle is the man. I have seen the trilogy several times and thought I knew it all but after this tour, I leaned more. Highly recommended
Thanks a lot,i make it possible to take this experience at maximum best way!
Basic Godfather tour with a native Sicilian! He was nice, on time but there was nothing special about the tour and the size of the car was too small for 4 people.
Gentle costumer,my apologize for this,but the size of the car is suitable for 4 persons, particularly most for the short distance of the trip selected,as a specific alternative, for a similar price you purchased, the service of a van would be almost impossible, having said that, I thank you for choosing us.
Today was absolutely amazing. Sicily is stunning, and Gabriele helped us experience so much of its beauty, including hillside streets, breathtaking views, charming towns, beautiful churches, and Godfather movie history. Gabriele was fantastic. He was a total gentleman, hilarious, full of knowledge, and somehow made the day feel both relaxed and packed with history. He gave us the perfect mix of real Sicilian history, movie magic, gorgeous scenery, great food, and plenty of laughs. We ended the day with an amazing lunch where I even tried mussels for the first time and liked them, which was a surprise to me. Gabriele also joined in on the selfie fun and made the whole day feel personal and memorable. He was fantastic. Highly recommend. This tour was definitely an offer we couldn’t refuse.
So much Happy of these Amazing words from Amazing people like you, thanks Always for all,see you next!
Gabriel was very knowledgeable, friendly and took his time to explain where we were and the significance of our stops. He was very knowledgeable about the details of the Godfather film, which is what we were looking for. We would highly recommend him as a tour guide.
So much Happy and grateful,see u next time!
We were on a cruise ship and did the tour on our stop. Communication was great and we were picked up at the port. This was such a good tour and it was nice to get away from the crowds. Absolutely beautiful area to explore. Gabriele is a great guide and we even stopped for a fantastic lunch. I would absolutely recommend this tour.
Thanks so much see you next time!
Nice tour, customizable. Go to place that cannot be reached by a bus. Guide is knowledgeable and kind.
Thanks so much, Absolute pleasure me too!
