• 3Review of the Godfather Tour #1812449675

  Hello RE: Booking #1812449675 I just returned from our vacation in Sicily. One of the tours we booked and was looking forward to was the Godfather w/Pasta Lunch Tour. Our tour was wonderful, personable, knowledgeable and made the experience fun. We were, however, extremely disappointed that we were unable to go to the top of the mountain to see the church where Michael C and Appalonnia were married because of how steep the climb would be. We were told we could rent a tuk-tuk at an additional cost. It did not state in your details.Nor we did visit Villa Corleone. I am now realizing that Bar Vitelli was steps from us in the center of Savoca. We were not made aware of it and we did not go in which was part of the tour/cost. I wrote to your company the other day without receiving a response. The tour cost me $1,1,83.26. Please understand that we were displeased with this tour because of not seeing 2 of the biggest draws of the tour. I am hereby requesting a refund of at least $400. I would appreciate a response soonest. Michele DeSomma 973-809-1215

• 4We are fans of the...

  We are fans of the Godfather movies and so was Daniele our guide. It was a pleasant drive into the mountains to see the filing sites. They look just like they did in the movie from 1972. Cafe Vitelli was shrouded in ivy and is easy to miss. :(

• 3Not a ‘vs mafia’ tour.

  This was billed as Godfather vs Mafia tour and was a very good Godfather movie tour with a lovely lunch. However I chose this tour as it was billed as a comparison with real life mafia and no information was provided on the history and current status of real mafia activities despite asking the guide about this.

• 3Not much Bang for your Buck!

  The tour and tour guide were a little lackluster. There was very little guiding. It was more about the transportation to and from the locations. The tour guide was. Speaking mostly to the two guests sitting up front with him. When others asked questions he couldn’t hear them and/or answered very quickly, not providing much information. We enjoyed the day but it wasn’t terribly informative and was a lot of money for what we received. With that said, the lunch was lovely and the guests on the tour were very nice.

  Great little experience, glad we did it. The drive from Tormena is always interesting as well. The tour itself is brief, lunch was a nice treat.

• 5Brilliant tour. Brilliant guide Brilliant food. What’s not to like!

  Worth every penny! Picked up from our accommodation by our guide for the day Carlos. He is a brilliant guide. The tour was funny, interesting, and I was gripped the whole time. He was really attentive to our needs and I felt well looked after. Wonderful tour. Great food and drinks. Gorgeous views. Cannot recommend this tour enough.

About Taormina

Taormina is a hilltop town on Sicily's east coast, with an ancient Greek theatre facing Mount Etna, a main street of palazzi and sea views over the Ionian.

Taormina clings to the slopes of Monte Tauro, about 200 metres above the Ionian Sea, with Mount Etna smoking to the south-west. Its ancient theatre, begun by the Greeks in the 3rd century BC and later rebuilt by the Romans, still hosts concerts and performances, and from the upper rows Etna and the coast fill the view. The main street, Corso Umberto, runs between two town gates, past churches, palazzi and small shops, to Piazza IX Aprile, a terrace over the sea.

Top-ranked sights in Taormina: Isola Bella, Corso Umberto I, Taormina Piazza Duomo.
