Description
Immerse in the stunning medieval locations of the Godfather Saga: Savoca and Forza d’Agrò are the Sicilian destinations for the best Godfather tour from Taormina. In Savoca and Forza d’Agrò, each visitor would be fascinated by the authentic medieval atmosphere, recalling the timeless scenes from the movies filmed between the 1970s and 1990s. Walking around the tiny streets as Michael Corleone (Al Pacino), you will discover the pretty churches and monuments that appear in the movies. Not so far from the Mother Church in Forza d’Agrò, a beautiful testimony of baroque style, you will walk upstairs to reach the house where Don Vito Corleone was born. Savoca is where the most iconic scenes from The Godfather I were filmed, just outside Bar Vitelli (it still works as a café) and Michael and Apollonia’s wedding scene at the uphill Church of Saint Lucy.

F
Really informative and fun tour of the Godfather movie towns
Initially we were concerned as we did not get confirmation that we would be picked up at our hotel, but Katya was there right on time. She was an awesome guide who knew so much about the area and the towns where the Godfather movies were filmed. She also knew everybody in the towns and took us to meet some of them. We had so much fun on this tour. It was really nice that there was a separate driver so she could talk to us the whole time instead of having to concentrate on the roads. This is the way to see these towns!

Exceeded expectations! !...
Exceeded expectations! ! Katia, our guide, was outstanding! We visited the Godfather sires and learned so much more about the culture of Forze d’Agro and Savoca.
J
Carmelo was absolutely...
Carmelo was absolutely knowledgeable of the two villages and the real villagers. where the God Father films were shot as he was born and raised in Savoca. The entire tour was an amazing experience with a master story teller, Carmelo, and his most capable driver Diego. We highly recommend them.

Great Day in Savoca and Taomina
We had a wonderful experience on tour with Katia and Gaia and Salvatore the bus driver who was incredible driving around all the curves and narrow streets. Katia was a wealth of information, with a personality that brightened the day. We were picked up from the Epic Norwegian cruise with no delay or any problems.
