Following their footsteps and visiting the places that were so often shown throughout the movie will bring back many memories. While in town “a must” is the stop for a Lemon Granita at the famous bar “VITELLI” on the corner of the town, one of Coppola’s favorite spots, and seen many times throughout the film.

Additional Information

Departing from the harbor, we’ll arrive at the delightful village of Savoca. Far from a tourist hotspot, Savoca is a quaint local community nestled on the slope of the S. Peloritiani foothills. It was here that Al Pacino and his cast filmed scenes for the iconic movie, The GodFather. Following their trail and exploring the commonly depicted locations from the film, will provoke a sense of nostalgia. During your visit, it’s essential to enjoy a Lemon Granita at the renowned ‘VITELLI’ bar, a corner building in the village and a frequent location in the movie and one of Coppola’s preferred spots. From Savoca, our journey continues to Forza d’Agrò, which perfectly exemplifies a traditional village in the Province of Messina with its preserved medieval street structure. The village is surrounded by breathtaking vistas. Forza d’Agrò is a repository of tradition, culture, history, and art just for you to discover. Following this, you will explore two traditional towns before ending at Taormina.

Reliable and Professional Italian Car / Tour Service - Carmelo and his team provided outstanding service for my wife and I during our recent trip to Sicily. We used their service to take us from Diamante to Taormina (including the ferry), from Taormina to Canicatti and back the next day and finally a personalized afternoon trip to Savoca from Taormina. All the drivers were very prompt and professional. Carmelo himself was very responsive in arranging all the trips and taking us personally to Savoca. I am fairly sure they also offer multi day private tours on the mainland and Sicily, as one of their drivers was completing a private tour in Puglia. I would absolutely use their service again without hesitation.

Absolutely fantastic experience, thanks to this world-class tour company! - Carmelo, our driver, tour guide and translator during our entire 8-day visit to Sicily, was incredible! He truly made our trip as special, enjoyable, stress-free and memorable as I could imagine. His knowledge of Sicily, driving skill, impeccable English and Italian, and professionalism are top-notch. The Godfather and Taormina tour was just one of a many awesome experiences that Carmelo made special for our small group - which included my elderly mother, who he treated with kindness and respect. I would absolutely, positively and highly recommend him and his company and will be looking forward to hiring him again when we return to this beautiful island.

Best tour guide for the entire island - Carmelo was a charming, cool and very pleasant guide to all our destinations. He was able to guide us through all of Sicily, not just the west, leading us from Catania, to Siracusa, Palermo and many other places: you name it, he knows it! Not only does he have an intimate knowledge of the island‘s history and geography, he also knows all the good spots to sleep, eat or go to the beach. I highly recommend any one who wishes to travel the island to book a trip with Carmelo.
