The Godfather Tour: Savoca & Forza D'Agrò
Walk the streets that shaped cinema history in the medieval heart of Sicily.
This Godfather Sicily tour takes you deep into the villages that served as the backdrop for one of cinema's most celebrated films, revealing layers of medieval history and authentic Sicilian culture along the way.
The journey begins in Savoca, a hilltop village in the Valle d'Agrò district that has preserved its medieval character for centuries. You will visit the church where the fictional wedding of Apollonia and Michael Corleone was filmed, and step into Bar Vitelli, where Al Pacino's character famously asked for Apollonia's hand in marriage.
The second stop is Forza D'Agrò, another medieval gem whose narrow stone streets and hilltop architecture provided the visual language for Francis Ford Coppola's vision of Sicily. The village offers free time to explore at your own pace and enjoy a lunch break surrounded by authentic local atmosphere.

A guided walk through the medieval alleys of Savoca leads to the church of San Nicolò, where the wedding scene between Apollonia and Michael Corleone was filmed. Your guide explains both the film's production history and the church's own centuries-old heritage.
A stop at Bar Vitelli, one of the most recognised locations from the film, where Michael Corleone arranged to meet Vitelli to ask for his daughter's hand. The bar retains much of its original character and displays memorabilia from the production.
