Descrição
Excursão privada a partir de Messina em um carro confortável com ar-condicionado com um Guia local pessoal para as aldeias montanhosas da Sicília que se tornaram mundialmente conhecidas graças a F.F.

No final do passeio, você terá um almoço tradicional no restaurante.

Itinerário
Durante o passeio "O Poderoso Chefão", a partir do seu alojamento ou porto de Messina, você caminhará pelas autênticas e pitorescas ruas de Savoca e Forza d'Agro que permaneceram inalteradas desde a realização do filme, visitará igrejas antigas, o famoso Bar Vitelli onde Michael Corleone perguntou O pai de Apollonia, sua mão em casamento, igreja onde se casaram e outras locações de filmes. Mais tarde, desfrutará de um almoço tradicional, composto por queijos de produção local, salame, presunto, caponata, parmegiana, azeitonas, azeite virgem extra e pão caseiro fresco e sorvete de limão, enquanto desfruta de uma romântica vista para o mar a partir do terraço.
A primeira parada é Savoca, uma cidade medieval preservada que serviu de substituto para Corleone, onde Michael estava escondido durante o período de "ir para os colchões". Você caminhará até uma antiga igreja de Santa Lúcia, onde Miguel e Apolônia se casaram, ajoelhados na porta. Depois siga o mesmo caminho descendo a colina que os noivos fizeram e visite outra antiga igreja do século XIII. Caminhando pelas fabulosas ruas de Savoca, num dia bom também é possível conhecer alguns atores - por exemplo uma senhora que interpretou a mãe de Apollonia e que ainda vive em Savoca. Mais tarde, opcionalmente, você pode visitar um restaurante familiar e em um terraço com vista romântica para o mar saborear vinhos sicilianos locais com comida tradicional (queijos produzidos localmente, salame, presunto, caponata, azeitonas, azeite virgem extra, pão caseiro fresco, granita caseira de limão - tudo preparado com ingredientes orgânicos de origem local - "km0"!).
Em Savoca você visitará o Bar Vitelli que é exatamente igual ao do filme, e verá o local exato onde Al Pacino informou ao pai de Apollonia que seu nome era Michael Corleone, e que "há pessoas que pagariam muito dinheiro por essa informação, mas então sua filha perderia um pai em vez de ganhar um marido". Aqui você pode tirar fotos com uma autêntica espingarda siciliana "Lupara", ver fotos do filme e um monumento espelhado para Coppola, apreciar a vista panorâmica da abertura do Mediterrâneo a partir da praça onde foi filmada a cena da cerimônia de casamento, comprar lembranças do Poderoso Chefão e - "deixe a arma, pegue o cannoli" - experimente o cannoli siciliano original e a granita de limão no Bar Vitelli.
O passeio continuará em Forza d'Agro, outra cidade deslumbrante no topo de uma colina com uma conexão com o “Padrinho”. Você caminhará pelas ruas abandonadas ("Para onde foram todos os homens?" - "Eles morreram de vinganças"), explorará a praça histórica e verá as fotos do filme, visitará igrejas antigas, verá a praça onde o jovem Vito Andolini ( mais tarde Vito Corleone) escapou dos homens de Don Ciccio escondendo-se em uma cesta nas costas de um burro, caminhe até ver as ruínas de um castelo normando do século XII, admire a deliciosa vista panorâmica da costa jônica e experimente o estilo de vida pastoral siciliano que permaneceu inalterado desde os tempos antigos.

We had a decidedly mixed experience on this tour. Savoca and Forza d’Agro are absolutely spectacular. No fan of the Godfather should miss seeing these gorgeous villages, and even those who aren’t deeply attached to the story can appreciate the timeless beauty, the jaw-dropping views, and the other history of the region. Our guide, to his credit, was extremely knowledgeable about all of that. He knows the movies almost to the frame, as well as much of the behind-the-scenes context. He is born and raised in the area, so can speak thoughtfully about the films’ place in the region’s culture and the controversies they evoke among locals. However, we found our particular guide under-developed and lacking some polish. To begin, he was nearly 30 minutes late to meet us. He had also forgotten his phone, so calls and messages to him went unanswered. We even had trouble reaching the tour operator until we asked Viator for help. When he did show up, because he had forgotten his phone, he didn’t have our name… he was wandering the area with a hand-scrawled sign that said “Godfather Tour,” and luckily we had his cellphone number - that let us validate he was actually the guide we were waiting for. To make amends, he wanted to take us for coffee and pastry at a bakery near his home on the way to Forza d’Agro. While thoughtful, this ended up being somewhat awkward of a detour. Likewise, between Forza d’Agro and Savoca, he wanted to stop home to retrieve his phone. Maybe all this could be overlooked, but he also needs some coaching as a guide. We have taken dozens of tours around the world - through Viator and other services - and this was the first guide we’ve had who was unable to hold a real conversation. Instead, he spoke nonstop, almost without taking a breath, for 20 or 30 minutes at a time over the five hour tour - literally 20 or 30 minutes without anyone else speaking a word. It was great that he knew to take us to the church in Savoca (where Michael married Apollonia) just at noon, when they play Ave Maria in the square. But we actually had to shush the man from talking over this beautiful moment of hearing the music and taking in the view. By the time he drove us back to the port in Messina, we were almost dizzy from his chatter. With his knowledge and sweetness and good cheer, he can surely learn to be a great guide if he learns to engage in some dialogue and sometimes let a moment breathe and speak for itself.
Dear Matthew, Thank you so much for the positive review and for the kind words you used to describe Marco: "He was extremely knowledgeable about all of that. He knows the movies almost to the frame, as well as much of the behind-the-scenes context. He is born and raised in the area, so he can speak thoughtfully about the films' place in the region's culture and the controversies they evoke among locals." As for Marco, unfortunately he forgot his phone at home, and by the time he realized it, he was already on the highway to meet you at the port. This can happen to even the best of people. To be fair, he arrived at the port on time, but he didn't have your phone number, so it was difficult to meet you. I called you 25 minutes after the scheduled time, and you were already with Marco. You affectionately scolded Marco for talking too much. Marco talks about the film's content, the history of Sicily, geology, the culinary and gastronomic history of Sicily, Etna, the Greeks, the Romans, the Arabs, and all the peoples who have visited Sicily in the past. He talks about everything as it should be. As you wrote, he is extremely knowledgeable. He didn't talk about ice hockey or how to change a tire on a car. I'd rather a client tell me that the guide often speaks with content than that the guide is silent because he's poorly prepared. Marco lives in the town where the film took place and asked you for a four-minute break to get his phone at home. What could he have done that was so bad? At the end of your review, you write about Marco: "With his knowledge, kindness, and good humor, he can certainly become an excellent guide." If I may say so, Marco is already an excellent guide. He's a guide who's done over 1,000 Godfather tours. We're not talking about a beginner, and I demand respect for that. He can certainly improve, too, and we're sure he will. Best Regards Pasquale
We had such a great day in Sicily! Omar our tour guide was fantastic. Beautiful coastline, roads and tunnels that cut through the hillsides…the views were breathtaking. We love The Godfather movies so walking through the village of Savoca where the movies were filmed was a blast! 🎥🍿🇮🇹 “I respect those who tell me the truth no matter how hard it is.” — Michael Corleone
Bruno was the best guide ever! His love of Sicily exudes and it shines through. This experience is worth every penny! Thank you Bruno!!!!
A must see authentic Godfather tour. The people of Sicily were amazing. We especially enjoyed Mauricio’s our wonderful driver and guide’s expertise on the godfather & mafia history, the scenic mountain top views of the near distant towns of Taormina, Calabria and Mt Etna. The visit to Bar Vitelli and the church where Michael & Appolina were married was special as the church bells rang and playing to the music of Ave Maria. A most impressive wine and luncheon experience is something we will carry in our hearts back to the USA. To top off our excursion we were taken to a beach bar for a toast of limoncello and granita. Excellent driver, personal and we had a great experience. We recommend asking for Mauricio.
Such an enjoyable day! Marco is a man with a wealth of knowledge about The Godfather and the area. The views were breathtaking! Well worth the money for the day!
Comfortable transportation with good driver. Full day with an excellent guide, Davide. Very knowledgeable about each of the placed visited and their role in history as well as the Godfather trilogy. Lunch was at a family owned restaurant where everything was fresh made and delicious.
Everything was amazing. Marco was the best! We got to see some really cool filming locations from all three movies and enjoyed a private lunch in a family owned restaurant.
From the moment we were picked up and met Marco I knew this was going to be a special day and we were right. Marco took us to all the sites and explained everything along the way. He took us to this amazing restaurant, Sikania, for lunch which was amazing. I highly recommend this tour.
Maurizio was our driver very kind professional and knowledgeable of Sicily. The towns the Godfather was filmed in were so rustic and breathtaking!! We took our time to walk around and take in the history and beauty of these places. The movie history and sites just add to the experience!! Loved everything! Maurizio also setup a private lunch at an authentic Sicilian restaurant SIKANAI, the owner cooked and served us a delicious (the best!) beautiful meal and the view was spectacular. We’re still in awe of this tour.. just ask for Maurizio he’s the best! Just go, see what the Coppola vision was you won’t regret it!
Passion, knowledge and joy. That’s Marco! What an amazing, intimate experience we had on the Godfather tour. He also had perfect photo opportunities for my husband and I. We visited several places from the movie including the iconic church where Michael married Apollonia. He took us to a very local restaurant where we truly had the best lunch and VIEW. on our way back to our cruise port, we stopped at a Food festival and shared huge, delicious Cannoli’s together. Perfecto! If we ever come back to Sicily, which I hope we do, we will definitely see to reconnect with Marco and see more of this beautiful city! Thank you Marco - highly Recommend!
