Carmelo was a fantastic guide. He knew everyone along the way and provided wonderful background info. He really knows these movies! You hit all the important set locations. We even ended up meeting the woman who played Apollonia’s mother in the first movie. A really great day!!

A couple on the same trip as me went on the same tour with a different operator. Their's was not as good as this. Booked 2 days beforehand & I could not fault it. I believe it is the only (or one of very few) tour that actually gain access to the villa used in the film. You should pay the extra to meet the baron. A wonderful man who'll show you his home & take your photos. Absolutely recommended.

Our driver and guide was Carmelo. He was very knowledgeable about The Godfather tour. It was nice, that he knows most of the people in Savoca area as if we felt we were in the company of cool guys. What a way to explore the areas of the Godfather dilm locations with the True Blue Sicilian driver and a guide. 😊
