Overview

Relive your favorite scenes from ‘The Godfather’ on this filming location coach tour from Taormina or Messina province. Although the location of the plot for the movies was Corleone, many scenes throughout the epic trilogy were filmed in the Sicilian villages of Savoca and Forzà d'Agrò, both of which you’ll visit. See Bar Vitelli and other places where some of the most memorable scenes were shot, and enjoy commentary about the movies from a friendly guide. It's a must for Godfather fans!

We never made the tour due to very poor communication and apathy of the tour operator. We used google maps for the designated area for pickup, arrived 10 minutes before departure, and called the tour operator to inquire about the pickup. She said we were not in the specific spot but offered no help in getting us to their specific spot. She said she would call me back after talking with the driver but never did. I called her back and she said matter of factly, the driver could not wait and has gone. Offered no assistance and no empathy, just hung up on me. This is a shame because I have used La Vacanza Travel for many tours and have had great experiences with both the tour operators and La Vacanza Travel personnel. I’ve been denied restitution by La Vacanza Travel due to the tour operator not agreeing to any fault. Unfortunately this will cause me to look at other ways to book my tours in the future.

Our guide Isabella was very informative and gave information on both the movie locations and the history of the towns which was nice. Definitely worth it to see the film locations but also the beautiful traditional villages. Pick up and drop off were easy from main Taormina bus station. If you like the godfather films then do it or even if you don’t but want to visit two traditional Sicilian villages then do the tour, it has something for everyone. Only advice I would give is that you don’t have enough time in each village to sit and eat, only a drink so if you join the tour in the afternoon at 2:55pm like I did then eat before but if you can wait then eat in Taormina after like I did as you get back about 7:45pm depending on traffic.

The tour guide Isabella is a real gem, very caring, polite and skilled person, also the bus driver Tonino was absolutely brilliant, driving in Sicily can be very challenging, he kept us all safe, thank you both for a lovely little tour and real Sicilian experience! I will definitely do it again! 😘😘

I wouldn't waste my time or money on this tour. No atmosphere. We did a Soprano tour in New York/Jersey years ago it was fantastic, guide was knowledgeable , guide told jokes, they played music on the bus from the TV shows, showed clips from the movie on the bus TVs, did a quiz and gave us a cannoli at the end. The Godfather Tour was boring, no music, no jokes, no atmosphere. You got to a town on a hill they showed you the bar and the church from the movie, then you were to look around a dead- end town for 1 and 1/4 hours, the same in the next town, they told you to walk around for 1 and 1/4 hours and meet at the square from the movie. Boring Tour

The trip was uneventful. A steep walk to the church with no guidance from our tour guide. stressful. Off to the other church where our tour guide again disappeared. Then we were told that we needed to spend money in order to visit the bar. We when grateful when we could board the bus.
