If you loved the film The Godfather, you need to book the van or car tour to the locations chosen by Francis Ford Coppola for his film.

Leaving from Syracuse, Catania, or Taormina, you reach the villages that served as the backdrop for the saga, winding through steep alleyways, ancient churches, and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Ionian coast, accompanied by a guide who shares curiosities and behind-the-scenes stories from the filming.

Step into the atmosphere of the medieval villages of Savoca and Forza d’Agrò and discover the film’s iconic settings.

A Tour Through the Iconic Locations of The Godfather

The route between Savoca and Forza d’Agrò takes you to the most symbolic places from The Godfather. In Savoca you can stop in front of Bar Vitelli, see from the outside the spaces that appear in the film, and reach the Church of Santa Lucia, where the wedding between Michael and Apollonia takes place, walking among arches, stone, and glimpses that seem frozen in the 1970s.

In Forza d’Agrò you move through cobbled streets and stone houses, pass by the Chiesa Madre and other buildings that appear in the trilogy, and reach the area identified in the film as the birthplace of Don Vito Corleone.

The tour always allows some free time in both villages, so you can explore at your own pace, take photos, or stop for a coffee.

What Does the Tour Include?

The tour includes transfer by private van or car from the agreed departure point, followed by a self guided visit to the villages of Savoca and Forza d’Agrò.

During the visit, you can discover all the locations connected to The Godfather, including Bar Vitelli, the Church of Santa Lucia, and the street with the doorway identified in the film as Don Vito’s house.

Food and drinks are not included, nor are the compulsory consumptions required to enter Bar Vitelli, or any other entrance fees not expressly listed.

The estimated duration is approximately five hours, with a guide leading the visit and explaining the historical sites connected to the film, and with an uphill walking section on medieval streets that makes closed, comfortable shoes essential.
