A must do tour for cruise passengers

Loved the tour! Sam and Gino were fantastic. Sam really showed his passion for what we were touring. It made the experience that much better. Gino got us there quickly and safely, thank you! It is as much a tour of Sicily as it is for the Godfather, which we really enjoyed. We got to explore plenty on our own as well and at our own pace. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone!

Grazie! Grazie! Grazie!

Very informative and relaxing! Samuel and Gino were great! Gino made a scary ride for us very relaxing. Samuel was such an informed young man. He made it fun and personal. Look forward to seeing his name on the big screen one day! Could not imagine two better gentlemen to show me the home of my grandparents! Such a great day for all of us! Don’t miss out on this expedience! Grazie!!!!

We recently had a wonderful experience on the Godfather tour in Sicily with our family of 6! Our guide, Sam, was incredibly accommodating and friendly. We were visiting our son, who's currently deployed there, and Sam was great about adjusting the tour schedule to fit our needs. While the tour was originally advertised as four hours, Sam informed us that it usually lasts around six. He kindly helped us cut it down to four hours, allowing us to meet up with our son afterwards, which we really appreciated. Sam’s knowledge of the Godfather film and its director was impressive, and he shared some great insights along the way. Adding a bit more historical context about Sicily itself would enhance the experience even further. Overall, we had a fantastic time exploring iconic filming locations. If you’re a fan of the Godfather or just want to see Sicily through a unique lens, this tour is definitely worth it! Thank you, Sam, for a memorable day! 🎬

We had an amazing private tour with Sam as our guide and Gino as our driver. Both were absolutely wonderful—professional, friendly, and timely. The van was perfect: clean, comfortable, and ideal for our group of four. Sam was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Messina and every stop we made. He blended in just the right amount of humor and personal anecdotes, making us feel like we were on a scenic drive with a friend rather than on a formal tour. Each stop had the perfect amount of time to explore without feeling rushed. Sam also gave us great recommendations on what to see and where to eat, which added to the experience. It was a lovely and memorable tour, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Arrive ahead of the crowds

Sam our guide and Geno our driver worked together to provide us with exactly the experience we wanted. We changed the order of visits so we were leaving just as the tour buses were arriving so we never waited in line. Sam guided us to an excellent cafe for lunch in Castelmola. Geno did a great job driving the treacherous roads and knew all the shortcuts.

Amazing tour and tour guide

Michael was extremely personable and friendly. He was a great driver and tour guide. Not only knowledgeable about The Godfather but also about the history of the area. We didn’t feel rushed at all and he offered suggestions for food and other sights to see. I would highly recommend this tour. It was well worth the cost. Thank you
