Our Godfather tour in beautiful Savoca and Forza D’Agro with our guide Gabriel couldn’t have been more memorable! He was so knowledgeable about the movies and made sure we not only saw the exact places where scenes were filmed but took many photos of us in those places. He made gremolata suggestions at Bar Vitale (lemon was our favorite) and lunch recommendations at a lovely restaurant in the village. We’ll never forget our wonderful experience in Sicily!

Para quem é fã da trilogia O Poderoso Chefão, o passeio é uma grande lembrança que ficará sempre que rever os filmes. Savoca e Forza D'agro são lugares sensacionais e você é levado a vários locais onde foram feitas muitas cenas. Gabrielle foi um excelente guia, com muita simpatia, conhecimento e em cada parada mostrava cenas do filme que ali foram gravadas. Por fim, o caminho que leva às cidades é muito bonito e você vai apreciando belas paisagens. Valeu mesmo a pena.
