About this tour
This six to eight-hour tour takes you across Sicily's Ionian coast in a comfortable air-conditioned van, threading together three distinct destinations. You'll stand before Mount Etna's dramatic slopes, explore the hilltop village of Savoca where Godfather scenes were shot, and wander Taormina's medieval streets lined with local eateries and craft stalls. A condensed way to sample the region's geology, cinema heritage and coastal charm without the usual tourist pace.

What to expect
Expect a morning or afternoon departure from your starting point in a climate-controlled van with a small group (minimum four passengers). Your driver will navigate to Etna first, where you'll see the volcano's imposing presence and surrounding terrain before moving inland to Savoca. This quiet village perches on a hillside; you'll have time to wander its narrow lanes and spot locations recognisable from the film. The tour concludes in Taormina, where you can browse independent shops, grab lunch at street-side vendors, or simply soak in the medieval piazza atmosphere. Pacing allows for photos and brief exploration at each stop.
Good to know
Minimum group size is four people. Entry fees to theatres or museums, meals, and drinks are separate. Bring comfortable walking shoes for village streets. Infants can travel in prams or specialised seats. Service animals welcome. Public transport available if you wish to extend your stay in any location.
