- Savoca - Upon arrival in the artistic city of Savoca, a quaint village where numerous scenes from Fred Francis Coppola’s film “The Godfather” were filmed, the first stop will be at the Vitelli bar. This bar, famous for its appearance in the film, offers the chance to enjoy a traditional Sicilian granita. Another highlight of the tour is the “Santa Maria in cielo Assunta” church, featured in the film during the wedding scene between Michael Corleone and Apollonia.
- Castelmola - In Castelmola, visitors can admire one of Italy’s most beautiful villages and sample almond wine at the renowned Bar Turrisi, noted for its phallic-shaped decorations.

Marisa is the BEST! Must do.... 10/10 tour! - We had an absolutely delightful 10/10 day with the wonderful Marisa! She was an excellent guide on all locations, offering us insight into the people, food, culture, language and sites of Sicily! Our group loved her casual style and laid-back approach as we navigated all the areas, yet left us time to shop, grab a drink, and fellowship together. WE APPRECIATE YOU MARISA! Great job!

Amazing Private Tour of Messina, Savoca, Castelmola & Taormina - Thank you so much to our amazing guide Fabrizio! We had an absolutely fantastic experience and loved every minute of our tour. I had never booked private tours prior to this vacation, so I was pleasantly surprised with the wonderful communication we had with our guide prior to the tour.
Fabrizio was warm, welcoming and professional. His English is good and he is knowledgeable of the area and history of the region.
The tour itself was completely private for just my husband and i. We felt it was good value for money being a full day tour. We visited Savoca, Castelmola & Taormina as well as the town centre of Messina. The tour and organisation. Of the day was well thought out and a good mix of visiting all of the iconic and beautiful places as well as a little free time to explore.
Fabrizio’s hospitality made this tour extra special avid I would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Messina

Best tour our family has ever been on! - Our tour with Fabrizio was the best tour we’ve ever had. He tailored it to our family and gave local advice that was priceless. He took us to Savoca, Taormina, and Castlemola. He showed us secret spots that most tours wouldn’t know about. We saw Catacombs, local churches, lookout points, with amazing views, and ruins. He recommended the best local restaurant and snacks. He made sure to take the scenic route and explain all of the local areas, legends and history. At the end, he bought us almond wine and cannolis. It was an amazing experience that our family will never forget 💕

Great Family Excursion - The driver and guide met us right at the port. Communication as awesome. Our tour guide, Marissa, was AMAZING!!! She was fun, funny, accommodating, well spoken and an all-around perfect guide. Fulvio met us at each destination and was also a great guy. I VERY HIGHLY recommend this tour. The towns we visited were spectacular. My mother had mobility issues and they were even accommodating to those needs. Great tour!!

Fantastic Tour! Definite Must!! - Fulvio and Aurora were our guides on this private tour for 7 of us. Every one of us enjoyed it very much. Both Fulvio and Aurora took the best care and explained things very well. The sites were amazing and with their expert guidance we were able to see everything we wanted to see. Fulvio is a precise driver and also full of knowledge with the best manner. Aurora was a delight to each one of us, personalizing information to our taste. Wish we had more time because we didn’t want it to end!!! Highly recommended 😀👍🏻‼️

Seeing the most of Messina area - You cover a lot of ground in this tour. Coming into Messina you will have about a 1 hour drive to Savoca.
