To help you make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime experience, we’ve put together a complete guide on how to plan your Godfather tour:

1. Understand the Itinerary

• The private Godfather tour begins in Catania, a vibrant city nestled at the foot of Mount Etna.
• You’ll then make your way to the charming town of Forza D’Agro, with its narrow, winding streets and panoramic views of the Ionian Sea.
• Savoca, your next destination, will enchant you with its timeless beauty. This picturesque village is where the famous wedding scene was filmed.
• During the tour, you’ll have the opportunity to visit Bar Vitelli, the iconic café where Michael Corleone asked for Apollonia’s hand in marriage.
• As you explore the towns, your knowledgeable guide will provide fascinating insights into the history and film trivia associated with these locations.

2. Plan the Best Time to Visit

• The Godfather tour is available year-round, but the best time to visit is during spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November). These seasons offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds.
• Keep in mind that summer (July and August) can be scorchingly hot, and the streets can get crowded with tourists.
• Consider booking an early morning or late afternoon tour to avoid the peak tourist hours and enjoy a more personalized experience.

3. Dress Comfortably and Prepare for Walking

• Wear comfortable shoes as you’ll be exploring the towns on foot. The streets in Forza D’Agro and Savoca are beautifully preserved but can be uneven and steep.
• Be sure to dress appropriately for the weather. Sicily can be quite hot, so lightweight and breathable clothing is recommended during the summer months.

4. Sample Local Cuisine

• Sicilian cuisine is known for its unique flavors and delicious dishes. Take the opportunity to savor some local specialties during your tour.
• Try Arancini, a traditional Sicilian street food made with rice, meat, and cheese. It’s the perfect snack to fuel your adventure.
• Indulge in refreshing granita, a slushy dessert made with fresh fruit and topped with whipped cream. It’s a delightful treat on a warm day.

5. Capture Memories

• Don’t forget to bring a camera to capture the enchanting landscapes and iconic Godfather settings. Forza D’Agro and Savoca offer countless photo opportunities.
• Immerse yourself in the scenes by recreating famous movie moments, such as standing in front of Bar Vitelli or gazing over the breathtaking valleys.
• Consider bringing a small notebook to jot down your thoughts and impressions as you explore these compelling locations.

6. Plan a Visit to Mount Etna

• While you’re in Catania, why not extend your trip and explore the magnificent Mount Etna?
• As one of Europe’s most active volcanoes, Mount Etna offers thrilling hiking opportunities and breathtaking views. Join a guided tour to discover its unique geological wonders.
• Remember to allocate a separate day for Mount Etna, as visiting both the volcano and the Godfather locations in one day might be too ambitious.

Embarking on the Catania Private Godfather Tour is an unforgettable experience that allows you to immerse yourself in the rich history, stunning landscapes, and captivating movie scenes of Sicily. Make sure to plan your trip well in advance to secure your spot on this exclusive tour and get ready to create lasting memories that will transport you into the captivating world of the Godfather trilogy.
