  • Catania port
  • Via Etnea, Catania, Italy
    During "The Godfather" tour, starting from your accommodation or Port in Catania, you will walk along the authentic picturesque streets of Savoca and Forza d'Agro remained unchanged since the movie was made, visit ancient churches, famous Bar Vitelli where Michael Corleone asked Apollonia's father her hand in marriage, church where they married, and other movie locations. Later, you will enjoy a traditional lunch, consisting of locally produced cheeses, salami, prosciutto, caponata, parmigiana, olives, extra virgin olive oil and fresh home-made bread and lemon sorbet, while having a with romantic sea view from the terrace.
  • Savoca, Savoca, Italy
    First stop is Savoca, an unspoilt medieval town that acted as stand-in for Corleone where Michael was hiding out during the "going to the mattresses" time. You will walk to an ancient church of Santa Lucia, where Michael and Apollonia were married kneeling in the doorway. Then follow the same path down the hill that the newlyweds did, and visit another old church dating back to the 13th century. Walking along the fabulous streets of Savoca, on a good day you can also meet some actors - for example a lady who played Apollonia's mother and who still lives in Savoca. Later, optionally you can visit a family-owned restaurant and at a terrace with romantic sea view taste local Sicilian wines with traditional food (locally produced cheeses, salami, prosciutto, caponata, olives, extra virgin olive oil, fresh home-made bread, home made lemon granita - everything is prepared with organic ingredients of local origin - "km0"!).

  • Bar Vitelli, Savoca, Italy
    In Savoca you will visit Bar Vitelli that looks exactly the way it did in the movie, and see the exact spot where Al Pacino informed Apollonia's father that his name was Michael Corleone, and that "there are people who'd pay a lot of money for that information, but then your daughter would lose a father instead of gaining a husband". Here you can take pictures with an authentic Sicilian shotgun "Lupara", see pictures from the movie and a mirror monument for Coppola, enjoy panoramic view of the Mediterranean opening from the square where the wedding ceremony scene was shot, purchase The Godfather souvenirs, and - "leave the gun, take the cannoli" - taste original Sicilian cannoli and lemon granita at Bar Vitelli.
  • Forza d'Agro, Forza d'Agro, Italy
    The tour will continue in Forza d'Agro, another stunning hilltop town with a "Godfather" connection. You will walk the abandoned streets ("Where have all men gone?" - "They're dead from vendettas"), explore the historic square and see the pictures from the movie, visit ancient churches, see the piazza where young Vito Andolini (later Vito Corleone) escaped Don Ciccio's men by hiding in a basket on a donkey's back, walk up to see the remains of a 12th century Norman castle, admire delightful panoramic view of the Ionian coastline, and get a flavour of the Sicilian pastoral lifestyle remained unchanged since ancient times.

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.

Our energetic Guide Ignazio immediately met us as we disembarked the ship. He quickly guided us to a luxury Mercedes Benz van and off we went on our Godfather tour! Ignazio definitely went the 'extra mile' not only sharing his local knowledge of the Godfather movie, but also treated us to his knowledge of local nut and berry trees. While following the steps of the Godfather tour he expertly guided us to a local family-owned shop featuring local olive oil and wine. YUM! Lunch at Sikania-a locally owned and operated restaurant not only featured flavorful seasonal samplings of the regional cuisine, but the highlight was the semi-private open-air dining balcony with spectacular sweeping views of the hills and ocean below. A definite highlight of the day. The family preparing the meal were warm and welcoming and a mutual understanding of appreciation was communicated without the need to know each other's language. Off again with Ignazio, as he expertly guided us to unique landmarks, both planned and unplanned. His warm character, in-depth knowledge and genuine caring made this tour a definite highlight of our entire Mediterranean cruise! The charming Nadia, who coordinated the tour, was gracious and timely with communication. You could not choose a better tour operator to treat yourself and your travel party than booking with Prestelli Tours!
