Perfect Day of History and Culture

Our tour guide Marco was great and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour. Yes it’s “Godfather” but more than that it is a great opportunity to get out to two small villages and really see a different and less touristy part of Sicily.
best tour in sicily, do not miss!

marco was an incredible, kind, knowledgable, and wonderful guide. we left feeling like we learned so much about the beautiful culture, history, and landscape of sicily. we loved his commentary and film analysis. 10/10, everyone should take this tour, regardless of if you've seen the film.
Fantastic Private Tour - A great taste of the filming locations as well as local food and drink!

What a great private tour in some of the best countryside and small towns that Sicily has to offer! Being such keen Godfather enthusiasts, my wife and I were desperate to have a Godfather Tour in Sicily to see some of the filming locations and we weren't disappointed! The Tour was brilliant, we were taken to the lovely towns of Savoca and Forza d'Agrò, just outside of Taormina. We were taken to the lovely churches where Michael and Apollonia were married as well as Michael and Kay. Also got to see the precise location where young Vito was smuggled to safety on the donkey in front of the church. The highlight was enjoying a beer and devouring a cannoli in front of the infamous Bar Vitelli in Savoca and being able to feel embrace the; "leave the gun, take the cannoli' saying haha. Even got interviewed by a local TV reporter talking about tourism in the area! The finishing touch to the tour was having a lovely local lunch complete with wine at a local family restaurant. Couldnt have asked for a better tour!
Amazing Godfather tour

Our Godfather tour with Marco was amazing. Marco was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the Godfather movie scenes and towns where it was filmed. You can tell he loves his job. At times my husband had a hard time walking. Marco was understanding, patient and kind. He always figured out a way to make it work. The scenery and views were breathtaking and Marco took the greatest pictures of us with the scenery. Thank you Marco.
Also, Nadia was so very kind and helpful with our booking. We highly recommend Prestelli Tours and wouldn't hesitate to book with them again.

Our guide Marco was a pleasure to be with on our Godfather tour. We found him to be very informative, friendly and attentive. He enhanced our trip by sharing stories and assisting us with taking pictures which helped make our trip more memorable. We had a wonderful excursion thanks to Marco and would highly recommend taking a tour with him!
