What to expect
Your driver collects you and heads inland to Forza d'Agrò, a medieval village clinging to a hillside with sweeping views across to the coast. You'll wander the narrow streets past stone buildings and courtyards where Coppola's crew filmed. After exploring at your own pace, you return to the vehicle for a scenic coastal drive to Savoca. There, the Church of San Nicolò is where the wedding sequence takes place; you can linger and frame shots. Next, the Vitelli bar sits in the piazza where exterior scenes were shot—grab a granita, sip wine, and soak in the atmosphere. The pace is relaxed; your guide shares film trivia and local history.
