He led us through the region and filled us in on the true background of the making of the movie as well as insights into the mafia’s hold on Sicily. As a local, he introduced us to all the shopkeepers and we even bumped into the actress who played Apolonia’s mother in the film! She was a charming old lady who invited us into her home, showed us photos from her Godfather shoot, and even crooned the Godfather theme song to us in Italian!!! Priceless!…”

“Well organised and guided tour was excellent . I would have done a couple of things differently. Spend more time at place 1 ( Bar Vitelli etc ) as there were more things to view and less time in place 2 ( as only the church was available). It would have been fab to go to Don Ciccios villa and were the son was shot in the field .,,,great trip. I would also change the pickups to drop offs as this was really difficult on a busy Sunday ..”
