Massimo picked us up on time and got us to our destination, we had lots of information as we walked around with Massimo who was very pleasant and informative. Fantastic lunch and wine with a view followed and then dropped back to our hotel on time. Great day out, highly recommended! 10/10

We took many tours while vacationing in Italy and Bruno was by far the best tour guide. He made us feel like family. He was so knowledgeable about the movie and the villages we visited. You can tell he loves what he does and everyone knew him wherever we went! The best surprise was we were lucky enough to have met the mother of the actress who played Appalonia in the movie. It was such a treat and something that is not usually part of the tour. Thank you Bruno for arranging that meet we really enjoyed meeting her. I would definitely do this tour again !

Full description

Enjoy the sights and tastes of Italy à la The Godfather in the company of a knowledgeable, English-speaking tour guide. 

Your guide will pick you up at your hotel or port at a time suitable to you before beginning your tour in Savoca, a medieval hilltop town where the fictitious Michael Corleone hid out during the "Going to the Mattresses" scene. 
In Savoca, stop at Bar Vitelli, which looks exactly as it did in the movie. At Bar Vitelli, you will be invited to see pictures from The Godfather movie, enjoy the view from the square where the wedding scene was filmed, and purchase souvenirs. 
Your next stop will be the church of Santa Lucia, where Michael and Apollonia got married. Your guide will tell you about the filming processes involved in shooting The Godfather and some fun trivia about the movie, the director, and the actors. Discover the history of the real Sicilian mafia from your guide.
Hear how the mafia rose to power, its structure, and about the "Law of Silence", "Men of Respect" and the "Boss of the Bosses".
During the tour in Savoca, you will also see the mirror monument dedicated to Coppola, on the panoramic terrace overlooking the Ionian coast, the site of Michael Corleone's wedding scene.

After all this walking and learning, you will be taken to visit a friendly family-owned restaurant with breathtaking panoramic view over the mountains and the ocean, where you can try organic locally produced, traditional food including cheeses, salami, prosciutto, olives, homemade bread, sun-dried tomatos, parmigiana, caponata, pasta alla norma and local wine. 

Your tour will continue to Forza D'Agro, another stunning hilltop town. Your guide will lead you along abandoned streets towards the historic square where you will visit the churches Santissima Trinita and Santissima Annunziata.
In Forza D'Agro, you will see the piazza where young Vita Andolini escaped from Don Ciccio's men and you will walk up to the remains of a 12th-century Norman Castle to admire the panoramic view of the Ionian coastline.

At the end of the tour your personal guide will accompany you back to your accommodation.
