Your driver will collect you from your hotel, B&B, or cruise ship at 8:30 am, and you'll set off in a comfortable, modern van from Palermo. First, you'll visit the hauntingly beautiful Portella della Ginestra, a site steeped in history as the location of the first Mafia massacre, led by the notorious bandit Giuliano. Next, you'll arrive in charming Piana degli Albanesi, where you'll get to indulge in the sweet, creamy delights of traditional Sicilian Cannoli. Afterwards, you'll continue on to Corleone, arriving at 11:30 am, where you'll delve into the world of the Anti-Mafia Museum. This captivating museum is a must-visit for fans of Mario Puzzo's novel and the film adaptation, as it's the very place that inspired the enigmatic Don Vito Corleone.
