Itinerary
Day 1
Meet at the designated meeting point in Taormina for a 4-hour coach tour visiting Savoca and Forza d'Agrò—the principal filming locations used for many exterior scenes in The Godfather films. The tour includes guided commentary, on-site visits to key locations, and short free-time segments for photos or a coffee.
Meet at Terminal interbus Taormina - Via Pirandello and depart
Assemble at the coach bay on Via Pirandello (Terminal interbus Taormina). Board the air-conditioned coach, meet your guide, and depart for Savoca. Confirm your exact pickup point with the agency before the day of travel.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive at the Terminal interbus Taormina - Via Pirandello 10 minutes before 14:55 to allow time for boarding and check-in.
- Bring a light layer; the coach is air-conditioned but Taormina's sea breeze can be cool in late afternoon.
- Contact the booking agency to reconfirm the pickup point (phone number provided in your voucher) — the meeting point is specific and may vary by pickup area.
Savoca — The Godfather filming locations (walking visit)
Walk the narrow, historic streets of Savoca with your guide. Visit the Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, explore the Convent of the Frati Minori Cappuccini (crypt area seen in the films) and stop for photos at the façade of Bar Vitelli where key scenes were filmed. The schedule includes guided stops plus approximately 30 minutes of independent time to explore or have a coffee.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear comfortable, sturdy shoes — Savoca's streets are steep and cobbled with several short flights of steps.
- The church and convent may request a small donation or have limited opening hours — plan to be respectful of services and signage.
- Bar Vitelli is a popular photo spot; if you want a seated coffee there, expect limited indoor seating and possible queues during peak season.
Coach transfer: Savoca to Forza d'Agrò
Reboard the coach for a short scenic drive along the coast and into the hilltop village of Forza d'Agrò. Use this time for a brief rest before disembarking to continue the walking portion of the tour.
Tips from local experts:
- Keep small personal items with you when reboarding for quick disembarkation at the next stop.
- There is limited shade at the coach stops; carry a bottle of water from Savoca if you may need it during the short drive.
- Roads between villages are narrow and winding; if you are sensitive to motion, sit toward the front of the coach.
Forza d'Agrò — Church visit and free time
Explore the stone-paved lanes and historic church used in several scenes of The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II. Your guide will point out the principal film locations; then you'll have time to wander the village on your own.
Tips from local experts:
- Forza d'Agrò has narrow pedestrian streets and steps — step carefully and allow extra time for photo stops.
- Dress modestly if you plan to enter the church (shoulders and knees covered) and be prepared for a small entrance donation in some cases.
- If you plan a quick snack or drink, note that options are limited; bring a small snack if you prefer to avoid queues.
Return coach transfer to Taormina — Drop-off at meeting point
Reboard the coach for the return to the original meeting point in Taormina. The guide will provide final commentary and conclude the tour upon arrival.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect to arrive back at Terminal interbus Taormina - Via Pirandello in late afternoon; allow time if you have onward plans in Taormina.
- Keep any trash or purchases secured during the return ride to avoid leaving items on the coach.
- If you require assistance on disembarkation at the end of the tour, notify the guide before arrival so they can help coordinate.
