Highlights
  • Forza d’Agro - Begin your journey by visiting this quintessential Sicilian village, famous for its scenes from The Godfather.
  • Bar Vitelli - Our licensed, native English-speaking guide will meet you at 10:00 AM in the lobby of your accommodation in Taormina, Giardini Naxos, or Letojanni.

After a 20-minute drive in an 8-seat, air-conditioned minivan, you’ll arrive at Forza D’Agrò, an authentic small Sicilian village. Take a walking tour of the old town and see the locations where The Godfather was filmed.

Following the tour of the village, which includes insights into authentic Sicilian culture and lifestyle, you’ll head to Savoca, another small Sicilian village featured in the movie. Visit the famous Bar Vitelli, where Michael Corleone met the father of his future wife, Apollonia. Then, take a 5-minute walk to Saint Lucy Church, where they were married. During the walking tour, your guide will share the real history of the Sicilian Mafia, its rapid growth, and its spread throughout Italy.

Learn about the Mafia’s structure (cupola), its bosses, and the clan wars for territorial control. Discover how two Sicilian officers, Falcone and Borsellino, with the help of some “Mafia repented men,” came close to uncovering the truth about the Mafia and its connections with Italian politicians. Find out how their story ultimately ended.

After the walking tour, you’ll stop at an elegant food venue to enjoy a typical homemade Sicilian pasta dish and a glass of red wine while taking in panoramic views of the town. After a light lunch, you’ll be driven back to your accommodation, with an expected return around 3:00 PM.

  • Savoca - Immerse yourself in the Sicilian atmosphere of this charming village, where our guide will explain everything about the movie. Refresh yourself with a typical Sicilian light lunch.

Great tour - not to be missed - We had a great time with Carlos. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared so much information. It was an extremely hot day and he was very considerate of all participants (5) picking us up at certain spots so we didn’t have to retrace steps to get back to van. The lunch was amazing and an all around amazing day. We all said we were glad we didn’t miss this experience.

A great Godfather day trip! - This was a great day out from start to finish. A small group of 8 in a minibus. We stopped at a lovely old village for a tour and coffee first then headed to Savoca. Tour guide and scenery was amazing and a delicious lunch. The tour guide was very informative. A trip not to be missed while in Sicily.

Very interesting tour and a great guide! - Antonio was a fantastic guide! So knowledgable, not just about the Godfather but also about the island and Sicilian history! Bar Vitelli was very busy and the owner didn’t really like people going in but a highlight was meeting the lady who played Appolina’s mother in the film and also the DELICIOUS lunch!! Thank you, Antonio, for a lovely tour!

Must do in Taormina! - What a great tour! We were lucky enough to have Antonio as our tour guide. He was very knowledgable about the Godfather as well as the history of Sicily. This is a small group tour of only 8 people which helped make it feel more personalized. And the lunch was delicious!!
