The 4 Best Sicily Film Location Tours

1.The Godfather and Taormina Tour from Messina

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 174 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $120Our pick

From Messina Port, ride an air-conditioned bus to Savoca’s Bar Vitelli and churchyard filming sites, then spend free time in Taormina. Guides such as Katia and Alessandra add local stories, food tips, bottled water, and Sicilian treats. The six-hour trip suits cruise passengers who want scenery, film history, and easy transport.

“Terrible service and very unprofessional. We originally reserved the 7:30 tour, but were told they didn’t have enough people and asked us to switch to 8:30. We agreed, even though it cut into the limited time we had for our cruise excursion. When we arrived this morning, they suddenly informed us that the driver could not come and asked us to cancel the trip altogether. This last-minute cancellation completely wasted our time and left us scrambling to find another option. The company is disorganized, unreliable, and misleading. To make matters worse, the staff at the port suggested we just take a cheaper Taormina tour instead. Do not book with them..”

2.Private Tour “The Godfather” from Taormina visit of Savoca and Forza D’Agrò

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 110 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $235Top rated

Travel by private vehicle from Taormina, Giardini Naxos, or Letojanni to Savoca and Forza d’Agrò. An English-speaking guide such as Rosario or Gianfranco leads you to Bar Vitelli, the wedding church, Andolini’s house, and other film locations, with time for granita and village wandering.

“This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Sicily. The Sicilian countryside is so spectacular and the tour guide Marcello brought us to all the best places and was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was patient with our toddler who was not in the best of form 😅 It was great to see Forza D'Agro and Savoca where the Godfather movies were filmed, and stopping at some local shops along the way. Even if you hadn't seen the movies, it is still a great trip to see the beautiful scenery. We really enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend it 👌”
