Godfather Tour in Autumn Sicily - We had an authentic experience of a well guided tour visiting Godfather's iconic scenes. What made the tour special was Gabriele's local knowledge, hIs hospitality and thoughtfulness, and not to mention the absolutely breathtaking views from top of the hills. The local restaurant Restorante da Angelina where
we had lunch was such a delightful treat still brings us smiles when we remember about our time there. Thank you!

Great Time - We had a great time with our guide, Gabriele. The trip to all the towns and sites were so much fun. He showed us clips while walking in the same spots as the films. Ended the trip with a great lunch with Gabriele. I would highly recommend this activity for someone looking for that personal touch.

An amazing tour of the mountaintop villages above Catania where scenes from the Godfather were filmed. - What an incredible experience and I cannot say enough good things about Gabriele, our private guide for the day. We visited the mountaintop villages above Catania during our Viking Cruise stop. Out of our control, the weather was not the best, but Gabriele made up for it with a unique, friendly, fun, and informative tour day in his immaculate and comfortable car. He tailored our trip to the things "we wanted to see". I'm a Godfather movie junkie, so it was particularly cool to see many of the locations where the movie was actually filmed. But beyond that, Sicily (where my grandparents are from) is such a beautiful and amazing place with incredible cuisine. Gabriele knew the best places to go, the best places to eat, and the best places to shop. A great tour, a great value, and a great guide! Grazie mille, Gabriele!

Would recommend! - Gabrielle was very knowledgeable and showed us sites we would never have been able to find ourselves. It was fascinating to see. Many of the sites were remote, views were spectacular, commentary keep it fun!

Wow! A memorable afternoon with an awesome guide! - We had an amazing Godfather tour with Gabriele. He is passionate about sharing the beautiful island of Sicily with his guests! He knew all the great photo places and was happy also be our photographer! It was a most memorable way to spend our last afternoon in Sicily.

Godfather tour with Gabriele was excellent! - Two of us did a private tour from Catania of the locations of "The "Godfather" movies (plus some "White Lotus" scenes) with Gabriele. He is very knowledgeable of all things Sicilian as well as the movies. We were very comfortable in his car with nice air conditioning, music and conversation. He is very flexible and accommodating of his guests' needs. It was a great day. Highly recommended.

Gabriele was an amazing... - Gabriele was an amazing tour guide. He expertly guided us through the towns where The Godfather was filmed. He would show us a clip from the movie and then we would walk that same path. Our group was ages 11 to 75. He kept everyone engaged. For lunch he took us to a wonderful restaurant on the coast with delicious fresh seafood. It was a wonderful way to see scenes from our favorite movie without the large crowds of a shore excursion from the cruise ship. I highly recommend Gabriele and the tour.

Exceptional Tour with Hand-on Guide - This was an outstanding tour with incredible attention to detail. Throughout the tour, Gabriele would pause to show us scenes from the movie, helping us fully appreciate the exact locations where certain scenes were filmed. I highly recommend this experience!
