Description

For movie lovers and true Godfather enthusiasts, this private tour offers an unforgettable journey through the real-life locations where Francis Ford Coppola filmed his legendary trilogy.

Your first stop is the picturesque village of Savoca, home to the famous Bar Vitelli, where Michael Corleone—played by Al Pacino—met Apollonia’s father. This iconic bar remains a beloved spot for fans and is the perfect place to enjoy a refreshing drink while stepping directly into the film’s atmosphere. You will also visit the Church of Santa Lucia, the site of Michael and Apollonia’s wedding in the movie.

The experience continues in Forza d’Agrò, another authentic filming location. Here, you’ll see Vito Corleone’s house and stroll through the same narrow medieval streets where Michael Corleone once walked with his bodyguards. With scenic views, historic charm, and cinematic heritage, this tour blends Sicilian culture with Hollywood history in the most captivating way.
