We had an incredible experience on this private tour. The skipper and the hostess went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. They frequently checked in with us to tailor the activities and meals to our preferences. The boat itself was fantastic, offering plenty of shaded areas, a comfortable room for rest, and a well-maintained bathroom. We enjoyed diving, feeding the fish, and exploring stunning locations around Palermo. We highly recommend this tour!

FANTASTIC!!!! Our guide Rosario was personable and was extremely knowledgeable on not only The Godfather but also information about Sicilian legends and the towns we visited. He was patient when we wanted to step into the shops and let us take our time. The tour itself was fantastic - the villages we visited were quaint and beautiful and would never have seen if it wasn't for this tour. The Godfather sites visited were very special and we never would have found them on our own. The insider knowledge he provided was well-worth the price, everything else was bonus. Thank you for an incredible tour. Highly recommend not only for fans of the movie, but those who want to see rustic towns with gorgeous views of Sicily!
