About this tour

Travel through two hilltop villages in a restored 1980s Fiat minibus, tracing Godfather filming locations across Sicily's Ionian coast. This four-hour private tour takes you to Forza d'Agrò and Savoca, where you'll navigate narrow village streets by traditional three-wheeler before settling in for Sicilian aperitifs on a clifftop terrace. The vintage vehicle itself becomes part of the story, transporting you through switchback roads with views across the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Highlights

  • Restored Fiat 900 E Panorama minibus from the 1980s era
  • Forza d'Agrò's baroque churches and coastal panoramas
  • Savoca's narrow medieval lanes by Ape Calessino cart
  • Godfather filming location walk-through with context
  • Clifftop Sicilian aperitif with sea views
  • Private group experience, no larger coach tours

What to expect

Your morning or afternoon begins aboard a distinctive three-wheeled minibus that handles Sicily's winding coastal roads with character. After climbing inland, you'll explore Forza d'Agrò's hilltop layout, admiring its churches and looking back towards the sea. The focus shifts to Savoca, where narrow alleyways make car travel impossible—you'll transfer to a traditional Ape Calessino (a motorised three-wheeler cart) for a slower, intimate meander through the village centre. The tour wraps with drinks and light snacks on a high terrace, watching the light change across the landscape.

Good to know

The vintage minibus suits most fitness levels but isn't suitable for spinal issues, advanced pregnancy, or significant heart conditions. Children and infants travel fine; prams can be accommodated. The Ape Calessino adds an extra experiential layer—it's slower and more exposed than a car. Wear sturdy shoes for village cobblestones.
