Absolutely fantastic. The village is spectacular and serene, that in itself is reason enough to do the tour. The bread served at the top of the hill… OMG, Devine! We got to meet the extra from the town who was in the Godfather. What a lovely thing to do for us. Our tour guide was so very knowledgeable and so considerate of all needs in our party. I booked this as a present for my husband, but this felt like a gift to myself.

Nice, quite relaxed 5 h journey, listening stories about mafia`s history and visiting villages were Godfather movie was filmed. Both villages offer scenes from movie creating feeling these were authentic places of real mafia`s godfather family story. We were only three couples together with or guide Valerio, so we could enjoy relaxed communication atmosphere during lunch discussing our travel impressions and exchanging information on our countries.

This tour was so fun! Antonio Chirco was hands down the best tour guide we have ever had!! He went out of his way to take us to different places he thought we would love. He is incredibly knowledgeable about history and architecture! He made this day amazing!! The roads are very windy and Antonio stoped at a pharmacy so we could get motion sickness medication. Lunch was delicious!
