YOUR DAY, IN DETAIL

Everything you need to know.

01"The Godfather" movie tour
On the half-day Godfather tour, Dream Island will take you on a journey into the past as you discover ancient, sun-drenched Sicilian villages, places where time has stood still. These are, of course, the same locations chosen by Francis Ford Coppola to set the movie "The Godfather": the trilogy of movies was loosely based on the novel of the same name by writer Mario Puzo.

Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola wrote the screenplay. For the scenes set in Sicily, Coppola chose places that continue to fascinate visitors, rich in light, colour, flavours, traditions and legends.

That trip was amazing! Our guide Massimo made this tour unforgettable, we learned from him a lot about mount Etna and its eruptions. The views were amazing, we ate good pasta and saw a lot of beautiful places. Massimo really knows a lot of things about everything we asked not only about mount Etna but also a lot of different things like living in Sicilia, the cities, the history. We were really excited about the trip and we are not disappointed at all so I highly recommend booking the tour with Max. We will definitely come back soon here, so we can reach the top of mount Etna. This trip was the best foretaste for that so it's really worth it. Thank you Max!

Organizacja i przewodnik rewelacyjny! Polecam Maxa i Jaquiline. Mimo, ze Jaquiline nie mówia po angielsku, a bya naszym kierowc, rozumiaymy sie swietnie. Max to bardzo uzdolniony przewodnik, mowi w kilku jzykach, bardzo ciekawie opowiada. Organizacja wycieczki też super, nie zabrako atrakcji, mnóstwo czasu na robienie zdj, zwiedzanie. Przewodnik czeka na każdego ze swojej grupy cierpliwie. Od razu zaznacza, że jesli ktos nie czuje sie na siach isc, aby powiedziec, bo to bardzo wazne. Czuymy si zaopiekowane. Ale powiedzmy sobie szczerze, trasa nie bya zbyt trudna ;) Za to widoki przepikne.
