We just retuned from your tour with Bruno. He was amazing. Bruno was born and raised in the villages he took as to. He spoke very good English and knew all the locals. He taught us so much not only about the Godfather movie films but about the history of Sicily. He was an excellent communicator before the tour and during. We went to 3 villages involved in the filming and a 4th for lunch. The lunch was incredible, fresh, and the perfect local experience! I would take this tour again! Beautiful island! Great job Bruno!

Mauricio was out guide and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was really good because he gave us our own time to look around but also gave us all the information we needed we were gone 5 hours and it didn’t feel like it 👍🏻

Our first time in Sicily… And it was wonderful. At first, the tour sounded a little touristy, but it truly was a great tour and terrific day. We visited sites where parts of the movie were filmed, and other sites along the way. I asked our guide to plan a stop for lunch, and not only was the food excellent, but the view was even better. Highly recommend this tour.

Maurizio B., was our guide on this very beautiful, informational and authentic tour. He’s a historian and sommelier, we learned about each area we traveled by car and walked through the towns where The Godfather movie was filmed, visited the many churches and a museum that we added to understand a little more of the towns rich history. Each town with spectacular views and so much history. My husband is a fan of The Godfather and I thought this would be a perfect experience for my anniversary present to him, to our surprise it was much more than we expected and we were engaged at every moment. Our lunch was the most delicious authentic Sicilian we’ve had since our stay. The owners were so hospitable and sweet, even though we didn’t speak the language we were able to communicate just fine. We ate our lunch on the very top floor patio overlooking the mountains, ocean and town. It was definitely a spectacular view even with the rain! Had a charcuterie plate, an entree, homemade lemon Italian ice or granita which was exquisite. We ended our lunch with an espresso a la Maurizio! You take a bit of hot red pepper flakes and place in your espresso and the flavor is heightened to the max! It’s not a Sicilian thing at all but definitely worth trying. Our guide Maurizio has his espresso this way and the owner already knew it so they both recommended. All in all this was by far one of the most exciting tours we’ve had and we encourage you to try it!

Mauritzio was AWESOME! Great attention to detail, the site visits were amazing, and he was on time and great at communicating. Loved that. The small towns were real gems. Had lunch in a great, small restaurant. If you love The Godfather…Mauritzio and his tour have no equal!

Pepito and Marco were absolutely the best guides we could have asked for. Went above and beyond expectations. Pepito even gifted us with fruit from his own garden. Such a gentleman! Will forever remember the kindness of Pepito!!

My husband and I took the Godfather tour out of Taormina with guide Marco. We had a wonderful day and Marco was very knowledgeable and fun to spend time with. My husband is Scilian-American and loves Godfather trivia, he had a lof of fun seeing the actual filming sites. Beautiful and peaceful small villages in Sicily.
