- Arman C0 contributionsWine TastingEnjoyed the wine tasting & mingling with others on tour. The view was misty - but could be magnificent. The stop at Linguaglossa cafe was shortened due to tour numbers error causing delay in departure.

Our driver was exceptionally skilled on the tiny roads.Written 30 August 2024
- Relax498040960230 contributionsCheck the details including cost of entry to sites, how many people on the tour, how many languages are spoken by guideTo start we got caught up in traffic due to roadworks which probably could have been checked, if at least let the passengers know what was happening. We were 1/5 hours late to the first site. The guide was cranky and edgy, telling people to shut up and hurry up. It was not particularly enjoyable to have to kidding to monologues on the bus in 4 different languages with no way to escape, and inability to chat with other passengers family or friends. One lady fell on the bus and it took the passengers yelling out for the bus to stop for her to get up before it was even noticed by the guide or driver. We were told to hurry up at every site because we were running late - people were scrambling to take pictures and racing back so as not to be snapped at by the guide. This is the tour company’s responsibility for putting him under that sort of pressure. After 3 hours he said his voice was going, he was tired and stressed, and smoking while talking to the group which was also completely inappropriate and there were children on the tour as well. All in all the beauty of the sites was fully devalued by the unprofessionally organised trip and the guide under so much pressureWritten 29 August 2024

Guide was awful. Dropped us off, very little interaction and only saw her at the drop off/meeting place. Your ad should state most areas are unsuitable for clients with mobility issues, not suitable for walking frames.I was unable to get to the church.Guide did not tell us about the local "taxis" that take you up for €5.Visit to cattacombs unnecessary,all in Italian, no connection to The Godfather tour, just more strenuous uphill walking,guide offered no explanation to the history.These comments apply to both Savoca and Forza D'Argo.Poor value for money from a holiday experience.Saw other groups with guide and listened to their info as our guide was nowhere to be seen.Unfair we pay same fare for a guide who tells us very little and your reviews rave about other guides fantastic narration throughout the trip.There were lots of other people unhappy with the service, and people who were unable to access the tour attractions.

The app would not allow me to select the bus station as a pick-up point. So I had to select the nearest hotel to us, which I did. We received a message confirming the details. The driver then failed to pick us up. When we rang the company, they blamed us for not being at the pickup point!

The trip was uneventful. A steep walk to the church with no guidance from our tour guide. stressful. Off to the other church where our tour guide again disappeared. Then we were told that we needed to spend money in order to visit the bar. We when grateful when we could board the bus.

The tour says 4 hours. Just so you know we spent 45 minutes picking up people from hotels, then the tour was actually 3 hours and then it took around 1.75 hours to get back. Having this tour on a sunday, when all the locals are around, it took nearly an hour to get around 10kms on one stretch of the road back. A suggestion, have this tour on a weekday, when there are less locals around to clog up the roads. Guseppi the driver did well up the narrow hills. The tour guide...AdrianI? a dutch lady, spoke more about the history and trees and food than what there was to say about the Godfather movies, which in itself was good. Perhaps whilst picking people up you could play the music from the godfather movies to at least set the scene. For the actual tour, I would probably do the hop on hop off bus around Taormina it I had my chance again, which includes the villages this tour went for. So by the time we collected last people it was 3.15pm, we drove to first vilage and had around 1 and quarter hours there. then we drove to second village and had around 40 minutes there

During my wife’s and my trip to Taormina we had the opportunity to take this tour. We both really enjoyed this from start to finish. Our guide was very knowledgeable not only with the movie but also with the mafia and their presence in Sicily. We also got very lucky and had the fortune to actually meet an extra from Part 1 who still lives in the town. The lunch provided during the tour was exceptional. We had some local wine and a great pasta dish. For those who are movie fans or just interested in learning about the mafia and Sicily take this tour it’s well worth the money.

The tour states 4 hours but this is from door to door (or bus stop to bus stop). When booking we believed that collection was as 10.30am but it turned out to be 3pm. We stopped for a drink in Bar Vitelli and visited the church where Corleone married. We then went on to the next town where filming was made but this turned out to be only one wall. The church in this town was interesting and we also visited the convent where chocolate was made.

We enjoyed our afternoon "The Godfather" coach tour the coach picked us up and dropped us off from our Hotel Villa Carlotta so no hassle, we had a lovely dutch lady who was our tour guide she was very informative and kept all of us amused, the tour was really something especially seeing the films and then standing in the places where they were filmed if your a godfather fan then you really must do the tour.
