Sicilia de Película: Tour El Padrino & Taormina desde Messina

Muy bien organizado, la guía genial y dados los caminos q se recorren tengo que decir q el conductor estuvo excelente también. Muy lindo recorrido. Totalmente recomendable.

En el mes de agosto Taormina está llenísimo de turistas y yendo por nuestra cuenta fuimos incapaces de movernos ni de ver nada; en cambio tuvimos la suerte de estar con unas guías excelentes! (Elisa y Tania) supieron explicarnos muchas curiosidades que habrían pasado desapercibidas si fuéramos solos, historia de la ciudad etc... Además siempre atentas del grupo, de que nadie quedara atrás y resolviendo todo tipo de dudas. Al llegar a Messina se ofrecieron a dar una vuelta. Todo esto con una sonrisa siempre. Muy recomendado

La mayoría de nosotros crecimos viendo al Padrino y nunca pensé que visitaría un lugar donde se filmó una parte de la película. Los guías turísticos Laura y Tana fueron muy amables y nos brindaron agua y un pastel siciliano para preparar el escenario y comenzar a ver la belleza de Sicilia. . Comenzamos a subir a esta ciudad donde descansaba este pintoresco café, donde Michael vio su Apolonia. Volvería otra vez solo para tomar el espresso y el pistolo canolo (sí, lo deletreé correctamente para que aprendas por qué). La historia del área fue muy interesante y las chicas fueron muy pacientes al mantener al grupo unido. La ciudad de Taormina fue una delicia. Un montón de compras y diferentes alimentos para probar. Fuimos testigos de una boda siciliana y eso fue una ventaja añadida para nuestro día. Recomiendo encarecidamente este tour en particular que no te arrepentirás.

My trip was truly enriching. I really appreciated the small touches, like the cookies and water, and how Elisa thoughtfully accommodated everyone, including those with limited mobility. I discovered so many new things about Sicily that I never knew before. We had plenty of time at each stop to shop, dine, or simply enjoy the beautiful views.

Our guide Elisa and the driver were excellent. Very knowledgeable and the driver kept us safe on the high winding roads. This was the only thing I didn’t enjoy as I’m afraid of heights and steep roads.

From start to finish we had an amazing experience doing this tour! We received a message up front telling us where to go and who to look for after getting off our cruise ship. Our tour guide was wonderful! She treated us to specialty cookies from a local bakery and water. She was attentive and very informed regarding Sicily and its surrounding areas. She gave the older folks time to catch up and kept a full accounting of her group. She was very accommodating and ended the trip with a big hug! Loved her cheerful attitude!

This was a fun small group tour. Taormina was nice, though a little crowded, but Savoca, where the Godfather was filmed, was great. We toured the town and our tour guide made the whole experience fun, tying in what we saw to the movie. We saw cruise tours with bus loads of people and our smaller group was so much better. We had free time in Taormina, which was mostly shopping and because it was fairly crowded we just hung out at a cafe and had some wine. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Catia did a wonderful job guiding us through Savoca and explaining the scenes filmed there for the movie. What we loved most was her relationship with the lovely people of this village and watching as they greeted her warmly and exchanged conversations! Taormina was a delightful visit as well and Catia made a wonderful lunch recommendation! Claudia’s excellent driving skills were also much appreciated. We would highly recommend their tour to others!

Very well organized tour that kept you well informed about logistics of the tour. Claudia was our guide and she was great as was the driver. Very informative and plenty of time for browsing and shopping at the stops. Transportation vehicle was good for about 18 in the group, which was a good size. I would recommend this tour for cruise travelers while in Messina!

Although it rained, it did NOT affect the quality of this tour one bit! Our guide was Katia and she was OUTSTANDING! She went above and beyond to make lemonade out of lemons (because of the rain)...Her wealth of information combined with her funny wit made it an absolute wonderful tour! My husband has a bad ankle (actually and artificial ankle) and with the rain, could not make it all the way the hill (or more importantly we were concerned about the slipperiness of the hill downward) to the Church used in the Godfather... Katia insisted he take her umbrella to use to help stabilize himself on the way down from where we were...she ended up being soaked! She pointed out so many things about the movie along our drive as well as when we were in the area walking around. We were actually one of the few that got to go into the Vitrelli Bar, sit down and enjoy a drink while others were up at the church! The driver as well was awesome, negotiating the winding roads, narrow streets like a pro! ABSOLUTELY hands down, recommend this tour with THIS company! Communication with them was FANTASTIC! Thank you, Katia and Discover Messina Sicily!
