Absolutely recommended tour! - Thanks to this tour not only did we discover many curiosities about the film The Godfather, visiting places such as the Bar Vitelli or the church where Michael and Apollonia's wedding is set, but thanks to our guide we learned a lot about local history and Sicily . Lunch was perfect! We ate in a family-run restaurant, tasting many traditional local dishes. Afterwards we moved to the Giardini Naxos area, from where we took a boat that took us on a tour of the bay of Taormina. Our captain was very kind and we even took a dip in the sea. I was satisfied especially because my son had so much fun!
