We had an excellent time with our guide. Massimo was welcoming, nice and knowledgeable and we had a great time with great conversations throughout the entire tour, including the long travels in the car from Catania. The food was perfect and we will cherish this forever.

Maurizio was fantastic! This was definitely a great Godfather tour but it was an even better tour of Sicily—we learned a lot about the region and the culture and he asked us a lot about ours as well. It felt more like a cultural exchange opportunity which was a pleasant surprise. Of course he knew a lot about the Godfather and filming locations but we expected that. We really recommend Maurizio and this private tour — it was so nice not to be on a group tour for a change. Definitely worth the price — lunch was fantastic!

Maurizio my guide immediately met me as i disembarked the cruise ship at Catanya port and went on our Godfather tour to Savoca and Forza d`Agro. Maurizio was very knowledgeable about the details of The Godfather movies and provided a wealth of cultural, historical and movie setting facts and information and made it a very enjoyable tour and i was able to see small surrounding towns and enjoyed every minute. I always loved the movie, but this tour shows a side of Sicily i would have missed if we hadn’t done it. The views, the location of the villages, the back story for the location and the history of the people, it was all wonderful. Maurizio loves his job and it shows in all the things he does for his clients and he was very patient and helped me to take many nice pictures and video shots, he also gave me some free time to do some shopping besides the famous Bar Vitelly - the famous cafe from the movie and was waiting me at the car with the air conditioning on. Lunch was delicious with Sicilian homemade pasta (alla norma with ricotta cheese) in locally family business restaurant in open-air dining balcony with spectacular views of the hills and ocean below. it was well worth the time and money, I would highly recommend this tour.

I’m so glad it was available. Our guide was friendly, personable and very knowledgeable. Beforehand we were told what was included and it did not disappoint!

The entire tour was our “best” experience! The guide, Maurizio, has to be one, if not your best. The history and knowledge of his beautiful country & culture makes you love it as much as he does. The tour definitely exceeded our expectations! Would highly recommend.

We spent a great day touring Savoca and environs with Fabio, who was absolutely fab! Great knowledge, personality and communication skills - he's from the area and knows people and places that other guides likely don't, and has an encyclopedic knowledge of The Godfather. Saw some extra interesting places on the way to and from, such the Abbazia dei Santi Pietro e Paolo d'Agro' church and Taormina. Toured from mid-morning through most of the afternoon, had the lunch and wine option, which was tasty, generous, and served at a local sport with super friendly proprietors. We went in late May and it was a bit hot already - since plenty of walking is involved, we recommend booking late afternoon and early evening during the warm weather months - trust us.
