Beyond its cinematic history, Savoca offers a charming atmosphere, ancient catacombs, and stunning views of the valley

Gabriele and Giuseppe were our Guide and driver. They drove us around all day in a very nice air conditioned van with our main stop in Taormina. Stops along the way included the very charming town of Savoca where the godfather was filmed. Gabriele was awesome and told us a lot of great information about the area! Highly recommend this duo for your one day tour of Messina and Taormina!
