Best ever tour with knowledgeable engaging tour guide - Our first visit to Sicily had to include a Godfather grand tour of as much as we could see in an eight hour span...Alessio Patanè and his Sicily Grand Tour company provided an experience beyond belief. Our day began with a timely pick up (although our ship was late by one hour) at our meet-up place. The van was comfortable, and the drive was magnificent as we continued to pick up more passengers for a total of 6 tourists, including ourselves. Alessio kept our interest engaged with extraordinary Godfather Saga trivia facts and never heard of behind the scenes history throughout the ride of winding uphill roads through the tremendous Sicilan countryside. We toured extensively the following locations: 1. Fiumefreddo, Sicily and Castello degli Schiavi, name of the Coreolone villa. Meeting Baron Franco Platania, owner of the his family villa, and having the privileged access to his family's mansion and history, was beyond imagination. The unique Godfather collection of personalized memorabilia the Baron shared with us was accentuated with Alessio's detailed history, which included pieces to the Godfather Saga, but also the Sicilian Old World. There are so many photo opportunities in the mansion as well as the grounds, including standing on the balcony where Michael asks Fabrizio to prepare the car, to walking the stairs Michael walks down when Fabrizio runs out of the gate before the car blows up. Spectacular experience. 2. Savoca, Sicily: where the church Michael and Apollonia got married and Bar Vitelli are located. The landscape is full of photo opportunities, including walking down the stone paved road Apollonia and Michael's wedding party marched. There are beautiful shops to cruise and time to spend wandering this beautiful area. We had lunch at Bar Vitelli, which serves large bruschetta dishes named after Michael, Apollonia, and Vito. Huge portions of wonderfully delicious food. We toasted the meal with a cup of their own limoncello and bought several flasks from the bar as gifts. Throughout the visit, Alessio continued to feed our time with explanations of the who, what and why all Godfather. 3. Forza D’Agrò, Sicily: where the church the gangsters were calling out for Vito Andolini and visiting little Vito's family home amongst other scenes in the trilogy. Another spectacular area of countless opportunities to walk where the Godfather history has been forever chronicled. Alessio played out a scene for us in Italian, which will forever be in my heart. In summary, the entire experience has forever been engraved into my heart and soul. A memory of life I am eternally grateful for. Alessio made the experience and has imprinted the memories of the experiences in a way beyond description. Alessio has personal relationships with each and every stop along the tour. Whether that be with the Baron or the proprietors of the bar, he is well known and respected throughout the communities we visited. Wholeheartedly without reservation will utilize Alessio and The Sicily Grand Tour company during our next Sicilan adventure. Grazie mille Alessio ❤️

Super experience in beautiful surroundings. - The best experience ever!!! The tour was absolutely amazing,such a passion for the subject and incredible knowledge.Do not hesitate and book.

Great tour - An exceptional tour made even more insightful and fun with our guid Gianmarco! If you only go on 1 tour this is it. Worth every penny and Euro!

Wonderful Day Out Exporing Sicily - We went on a small minibus tour of the Godfather movie last week. There were 8 people in total so a small group. Carmelo our tour guide was fanatastic. He is knowlegable and great company. The views are spectacular and we did have a beautiful day, weather wise. Unfortunately we couldn't visit the Castello due to their being a private event on which was a shame, however it did mean we had more time in Savoca to browse the little shops and have lunch at Bar Vitelli. Would highly recommend Sicily Grand Tours! :)

God Father Tour - It was great trip . Very informative . It gave an essence of the God Father Movie . Carmelo our guide was wonderful . The extra trip is worth the extra $25 .

Brilliant - Just the best tour. Would highly recommend. Our guide Allissio was so knowledgeable and passionate about everything to do with The God Father films and Sicily in general. He was fantastic. Very small group tour, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Godfather Tour including Castello Degli Schiavi - We did the tour with Sicily Grand Tour and enjoyed every moment. Our guide Alessio had some amazing insight into the Godfather Movies. We made sure to request that we stopped at the Castello Degli Schiavi (for which there is an additional payment to the Baron). We recommend this tour.

A tour you can't refuse - Thanks to Gianmarco for his charm, insights, and humor. Had a great time on the Godfather tour. Loved the locations and the commentary. If you're a Godfather fan, do not hesitate to book this tour.

All that was lacking was Al Pacino himself!! - We had a great day out with Alessio, our guide, visiting the beautiful mountain villages which feature in The Godfather movies. Pick up was delayed due to traffic on the motorway, but we were kept well informed of this and, hey, this is Italy! Alessio was very knowledgable and told us lots of interesting details about the films; casting, location choices, soundtrack, difficulties the director and producers faced etc. He had books and photos which added extra details. All fascinating if you love these films. The two villages were breathtakingly beautiful ( we took plenty of photos!) and Alessio's inside knowledge meant we were able to gain access to areas that other tours we passed weren't able to do. It was nice to be part of a small friendly group. We all had coffee or granita in the little bar, sat where Al Pacino actually sat in the movie (yay!) and enjoyed chatting over pizza later in the village square on top of the mountain. Perfect. Grazie mille, Alessio!

Not a tour for me - Tour operator had the radio playing and loud fan in rear for AC so difficult to hear anything in middle seat of van and could hear nothing in rear seat. Original pickup time was changed to 8:40 from 9:00am and he arrived well after 9.No call to let us know he was running late.Tour itself was ok.We had 2 previous tours with a wonderful driver so this tour was mediocre at best.
