What to expect

'We're going to make you an offer you can't refuse'. Well, this used to be Mafia country, after all. In fact, Hollywood descended on this part of the world to film scenes for the Godfather trilogy, so this tour will take in two Sicilian mountain villages that made it onto the silver screen and to relive some of the the most famous scenes.

Little more than ghost towns, these Sicilian villages are virtually abandoned these days. First up will be little Savoca, where you'll find the church where Michael Corleone – played by Al Pacino – got married in. You'll walk in his footsteps as you discover the winding alleyways, and even sit in his chair in Bar Vitelli.

After a glorious ride through the countryside, you'll soon arrive in medieval Forza d'Agro, a small mountain village, where you'll see the Church of Annuncation, also of Godfather fame. Even if you're not a fan of the films, the views from these clifftop villages are second to none.

    Es war eine wunderbare informative, kulturell und auch geschichtlicher Ausflug. Besonders gut gefallennhst mir, dass natürlich ersteinmal der Film und die Anekdoten während des Drehs im Vordergrund standen ABER auch die Geschichte die Kunstgeschichte in den Kirchen , die Geschichte Siiziliens im Fokus standen. Unser Reiseleiter hieß Fabio und er hat uns in diesen Stunden viel beigebracht, erzählt und seine Art Leute zu begeistern hat mir sehr imponiert. Beide Daumen hoch

    We’re so glad we went. It’s a nice experience. Not just the Filmjourney is interesting, but also the history of the sicilian villages. Getting to hear all the „secrets“ about the areas with our Guide Fabio was amazing. Fabio took lots of time to explain everything, was very pleasant and professional. Excellent communication and super helpful to guide us through the story, in addition to our driver Roberto. Highly recommended.

    wir bekamen einen nette freundlichen Reiseleiter, der uns sehr sicher in deutsch seine Erklärungen gab und verständlich erklärte. Es war für uns beeindruckend, da wir von dem Film nur eine Folge kannten. Empfehlenswert.

I Gudfarens fotspor på Sicilia

"We're going to make you an offer you can't refuse". Dette var tross alt mafilandet tidligere. Filmtrilogien The Godfather satte Sicilia på filmkartet da Hollywood bestemte seg for å filme historien om Corleone-familien her. På denne utflukten besøker vi to fjellandsbyer som presenteres på det hvite lerretet, for å gjenoppleve noen av filmens mest kjente scener.Selv om de ikke er ekte spøkelsesbyer, så er disse landsbyene nesten forlatt i dag. Vi starter i Little Savoca, med kirken der Michael Corleone, Al Pacino, giftet seg. Vi går bokstavelig talt i de samme fotsporene mens vi utforske de svingete bakgatene, og du kan til og med prøve å sitte i stolen på Bar Vitelli.Etter en tur gjennom det vakre landskapet kommer vi til middelalderlandsbyen Forza d'Agro, en liten fjellby hvor du kan se på Annunciationkirken, også den berømt fra Gudfaren-filmene. Omgivelsene byr på fin utsikt over landsbyene som kroner fjelltoppene, så denne utflukten har mye å gi selv om du ikke er Gudfaren-fan.

Guided Corleone mafia resistance tour with lunch

Guided Corleone mafia resistance tour with lunch

Corleone was once a town once infamous for its mafia ties, but today it is a beacon of resistance and justice. The panoramic drive through the mountains sets the stage for an enlightening day ahead. Vincenzo, one of our expert local guides says, “This fascinating, insightful tour is designed to educate and debunk Hollywood's glamorised portrayal of mafia life, offering instead a genuine glimpse into the courageous fight against organised crime. This is an important tour for our town." First up is The Godfather's House Museum, a grand 19th-century residence that takes you on a journey through time, exploring the birth of both the mafia and anti-mafia movements. Next, delve deeper into this complex history at the CIDMA Antimafia Museum, home to an extensive collection of documents and exhibits chronicling the dark past and brave resistance against the mafia. After a walking tour of Corleone's historic streets, you'll be whisked off to a local restaurant near the Royal Palace of Ficuzza for a classic Italian lunch, surrounded by natural beauty. Finally, sit back and relax on your return journey to Cefalù, taking with you a deeper understanding of Corleone's transformation from a mafia stronghold to a place that local people are proud to call home, a place with a future free from the clutches of organized crime.
