I have been working as a guide in my homeland, Sicily, for over six years. Before that, I spent five years in Australia working as a private driver and tour guide. I have completed various training and certification programs to start my own tour business in Taormina, Sicily. I was born and brought up in Sicily, and this beautiful land with its wholesome atmosphere holds a special place in my heart. It is full of rich history, traditions, stunning landscapes, vibrant colors, and delicious food. My passion for local traditions and the extraordinary Mediterranean landscapes of Sicily has made me knowledgeable about the area, and I am always ready to go the extra mile to ensure that my clients experience the best holiday possible. My tours are both professional and fun, and I always try to be helpful and friendly. Exceptional customer experience and safety are my top priorities, and I am always available to share my local knowledge with my clients, offering useful tips on where to go, what to visit, where to eat, and more. To provide an authentic and inspiring trip, I work only with small groups, giving my clients a unique insight into local life. If you have any questions about my tours or would like to know more about what I can offer, please don't hesitate to get in touch! You can even just drop me a line to say hello. I would be more than happy to answer your questions and help create a custom itinerary for you. My business vehicle is fully licensed. I am a fully licensed mountain guide, hiker, and driver. Due to certification requirements, I cannot be your tour guide inside museums and historical buildings.

🎬 Join me on a journey through the authentic filming locations of *The Godfather*, one of the most iconic movies ever made. Just a short drive from Taormina lies the charming village of Savoca, chosen by Francis Ford Coppola to represent Corleone in the 1972 classic. Surrounded by citrus trees and breathtaking views of the Ionian coast, Savoca is a place full of history and atmosphere. We will visit the famous Bar Vitelli, where some of the movie's most memorable scenes were filmed, and enjoy a delicious Sicilian granita. We will also explore the beautiful Church of San Nicolò before strolling through the village's picturesque streets. 🍝 Before returning to Taormina, we will stop for lunch at a panoramic restaurant overlooking Isola Bella, a location featured in the acclaimed TV series *The White Lotus*. ✨ A perfect experience for movie lovers and anyone wishing to discover authentic Sicily.
We were 4 friends staying in Taormina and fans of the Godfather movie. Vittorio's tour was the highlight of our trip. He took care of every detail to ensure we had a memorable and fun experience. Vittorio also has a wonderful sense of humor which we enjoyed very much. The lunch he arranged at the end of our tour was excellent - the food, the view and service incredible. Do not hesitate to book this tour with Vittorio -- we highly recommend it!
The best tour ever! Vittorio was by far the best tour guide! He took us to places we didn’t even imagine was possible. Very attentive and thoughtful and super sweet. Highly recommend exclamation.
We had an outstanding Godfather tour with Vittorio. From the moment he picked us up at our ship to dropping us off at the end of the tour our day was flawless. As we drove to Savoca, the site of the Godfather filming, Vittorio gave us the history of the area. After, coffee at Bar Vitelli, and a walk around the area we drove to a delightful lunch spot near where the filming of the White Lotus was shot. Then on to Taormina where we walked through the town. Vittorio dropped us at the entrance to the main thoroughfare and was waiting for us at the end. He was informed, delightful, and friendly. We had a wonderful experience.
We spent a lovely day with Vittorio. He introduced us not only to the café and church used in the filming of the Godfather, but too many other aspects of the charming town. He also arranged for lunch at a restaurant overlooking Isola Bella, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommend.
great fun. step out of the ordinary
Vittorio had to come to a different port as the ship docked in Messina rather than Taormina as originally planned. He needed to adjust and we had a great tour.
