He lives & breathe Godfather I guess, I couldn’y stop discussing with him from the beginning to the very end of the trip, he’s very passionate & knowledgable. We went to all the iconic spots from Taormina to Forza d’Agro. In Don Tomassino’s house & Bar Vitelli I took videos of me recreating Michael’s lines & Alessio helped directed, LOL, you should do it too! The only nuissance came in the end is the sudden stormy weather (which luckily was at the very end part), and the muddy flood that cause cat troubles,…”

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

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..”

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 👌”

The places we visited though were beautiful so that made up for it”
