A private tour around Sicily taking in the culture, food and iconic scenes from the godfather from a very knowledgeable tour guide Maurizio was a highlight of our trip in Sicily. Every part of the trip Maurizio went above and beyond to keep us informed and comfortable. It was a relaxing trip with breathtaking views. A must

My husband is a huge fan of The Godfather movies. I surprised him with this tour while we were on vacation in Taormina. Our driver, Bruno, was great! It was a beautiful day. The food was good. We saw so much! Well worth the money.

This is only one of many tours we took with Prestelli Sicily Tours. If you enjoyed watching the Godfather, you won’t want to miss this tour. Our guide “Marco” was excellent. He is knowledgeable and so accommodating. This is our second Godfather tour. We enjoyed it so much in 2019 that we had to bring our friends this year and they loved it. Every tour Prestelli arranged for us was wonderful. Every restaurant they suggested for us was excellent. Every boat tour they booked for us was outstanding. I will use Prestelli Sicily Tours and recommend them always. Thank you both Nadia and Patrick for all your help and kindness.

This tour is well worth the money! Bruno was an outstanding guide. He even called the restaurant for us after we asked if they could prepare prickly pears for us to taste. The luncheon was traditional Sicilian and included an antipasti, pasta, bread, wine and lemon ice. The Godfather Tour was very interesting. He even introduced us to the actress who played Michael Corleone’s Mother in law. We were able to take pictures with her. Definitely recommend and ask for Bruno!

This was an amazing experience with a wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable company. Please ask for Bruno or his partners - 6 of us took the God Father Tour - our guide Bruno picked us up promptly and on time, confirmed with us via What’s Ap the day before - had a comfortable and reliable transport can and showed us an amazing time. The sights, his knowledge snd the meal we had at the end were all memorable. We strongly support snd recommend this company.

As with any other tours, the tour guide is what makes the difference. We had Bruno for our tour guide and I don't have enough words to describe how he made this tour spectacular. It wasn't just about godfather movie locations. He was full of history and stories and knows everyone in the towns. The experience is fantastic in every way and I would highly recommend this tour and ask for Bruno. It'll be worth it.

My husband and I had a wonderful time on this tour! We are so glad Bruno was our guide! We learned so much from him about the Godfather films as well as Sicilian mafia history. He was a very careful driver & stopped at all the important historical sites. Lunch and the wine were also spectacular! Bruno was so friendly and felt like one of our friends! We really enjoyed our conversations with him throughout the day. I would highly recommend this tour and Bruno as a guide!

This tour was amazing! Nino (Antonino) was the best! Even if you are not huge fans of the Godfather movies (which we are), the tour was well worth it. Unlike the big bus tours, we went through the small towns and countryside seeing so much of the beauty of Sicily. Lunch was at a small but wonderful authentic Italian restaurant. This tour allowed us to get out of the touristy areas for a great perspective on what Sicily is really like. I would definitely recommend it!
