Rosario was a wonderful guide and driver. He picked us up on time and immediately started sharing information about the area, The tour doesn’t only focus on the Godfather movie; the guide shares more interesting facts about the mafia in Sicily and in the states, Very informative!! The short movie showing the scenes from the films was a good reminder. Lunch is exceptional! It was by far the best pasta dish I had on our trip.
Rosario was a wonderful guide and driver. He was so informative about the area, the movie and the mafia. The scenery was magnificent. We are so happy we took this tour!
Legends and truth of mafia! Wonderfull small group tour with brilliant expert guide Saro who revealed the truth of real Sicilian mafia, shared the secrets of Godfather movie making and took us to the best places where it was filmed. Restaurant in the end of tour was posh! Certainly this tour was our best experience in Sicily.
