Hi, my name is Rosario, I am a native of Sicily and I spent all my life in this beautiful island, studying its history and exploring every corner of the land and sea. My passions? The nature, the sea, the history and my Sicily ;-) For long time I have been in the tourism business, with my family, covering several job positions, improving year by year my knowledge, becoming a very expert in offering tours. In 2013 I decided to offer my own personal experiences, helping visitors to discover the beauties of Sicily. I work hard every day to make your tour different, offering you more than a tour, a unique experience, always with the same passion like the first day. My favorite tours are the experiences, I like to show you the genuine Sicily immersing ourself in a beautiful Sicilian countryside or on mount Etna volcano, discovering the Sicilian villages, the local culture and history, combining that, with our famous gastronomy to make your day a perfect day. Certified tour leader, hiking and diving Guide. Professional Driver's license. Fully insured vehicle with license for passenger transportation.

An interesting tour, for those want to see the genuine of Sicily, discovering the villages, already discovered by Francis Ford Coppola on 1971. A scenic driving will take us up to the villages of Savoca and Forza D'Agrò, where we can visit the places of the famous movies (The Godfather part I, II and III). My tour includes also the visit of the Castello degli Schiavi, which appears in the movie like the Corleone's Villa (The Godfather part I and III). The villages are located on the lower peak of a small mountain, while on the higher peak that overlooks the town are the remains of Norman castle. We will not enjoy only the places of the movie, but also the beauties of the villages, such as the landscapes, the old houses, the churches (one of this used for the wedding scene of Michael with Apollonia), and following the footsteps of Michael Corleone, we will reach the famous Bar Vitelli (the place where Michael met the Apollonia's father for the first time), where we can taste a typical "Sicilian Granita".
