| Marc Baron's Sopranos Tour was brilliant. He has appeared in several episodes of the Sopranos so his inside knowledge was really interesting. He also delivered the tour with a good dose of humour. Seeing so many locations from the series was fascinating. It is a shame that Satriale's has been demolished, but there are more than enough other locations to make this a must for any fan. |

| The tour guide was a lot of fun and my friend and I had a wonderful time. The only thing that would have made it more enjoyable would have been a more enthusiastic group, but neither of us have any complaints and would definitely go again! |

| This was a fantastic afternoon, the guide was enthusiatic and new his product. t was great to understand how the show was filmed and not just see the sites.
Was dissapointed that Satrieles was closed down and demolished as this is such a big part of the show.
The diner was a great experience, the onion rings was a lovely touch (although not the best in the world!).
Will recommend this to my friends and family.
Thank you

| The tour was very, very good. I think we were expecting more of an interactive tour vs. an informative tour, as we had done Sex and the City the day before with the same company and it was more an interactive style. At first, we thought it was slow and might potentially be boring. However, after we got going, we realized that it was really very good and just a different style. Our tour guide was Marc Baron, who had been in 13 episodes of the series, so he was able to give excellent information on all of the actors and their bios, behind the scenes information, and a lot of filming information in general. It was quite interesting to find out all about production, like how much it costs to film for a day, what type of buildings they look for when they shoot, and many more things related to the actual filming of the series. Marc was especially fantastic, so if you have the opportunity to have him as your guide, DO NOT MISS THE OPPORTUNITY! Overall we really enjoyed the tour, and it was a pick-me-up on an otherwise absolutely abysmal day in NYC - the weather was atrocious, which can't be controlled, of course - rain rain and more rain. We were so fortunate to have breaks in the weather each time we got off the bus at a location, so we didn't miss a thing. Last stop, of course, was the Bada Bing. Funny, it seemed cleaner inside in real life than it does on the show. Go figure! Anyway, a 4-star tour to be certain. Don't miss it! |

| Not only did we get to see are favorite spots from the show we had our own tour guide who had been on more than a few episodes himself! He truly made the trip. He was never boring and the trivia was wonderful and the gifts were hilarious. We couldn't not have been happier with our tour. Don't miss out! |

| If you consider yourself a big Sopranos fan I highly recommend this tour. The tour guide who had roles in 13 episodes of the series was very informative about the locales & provided trivia and prizes during the tour. Once you visited a set amount of locales, every so often the tour provides the actual clips in the Sopranos TV show to accompany them. Being in the Bada Bing....need I say more. Don't expect to see the girls oranges though...can only have one or the other by law not both (boobs or booze). Lets not forget the last scene of the Sopranos in Holtens diner where you get to actually go and sit in the booth. As a bonus the guide calls ahead and you get to have complimentary onion rings like they had at the end of the show and the same song in the last episode is playing too (Journey - Don't Stop Believin'). As a bonus when we arrived at the tour meeting location we were told by the guide to go 3 cars down and meet one of the actors who was of course Vito. Priceless especially with him selling merch out the back of his car. I such a good time on this tour and was sad after we had departed because it was such a great show and is missed greatly. On a side note, the Sex and the CIty tour doesn't have sh%t on this tour so if you're trying to decide between this tour and the Sex & the CIty....choose this one or you'll be sleepin with the fishes. |

| This was a great tour for my boyfriend and me. We learned a lot about the show, and we really enjoyed the trivia questions as we moved from location to location. Be sure to re-watch the seasons before you go, since there are prizes! |

| The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the show. The bus arrived late so the tour was rushed at some points. Most of the sites that you drive by are on the right side of the bus, so if you sit on the left side, you'll miss out. The free cannoli was amazing! We didn't really have enough time at the Bada Bing....only about 15 minutes to go to the bathroom, buy a t-shirt and get a quick drink. FYI, the ladies bathroom is also the changing room for the dancers so that was a little uncomfortable! Overall, it was a good tour and I'd recommend it for hardcore fans. |

| My girlfriend treated me to this tour for my birthday. We're both big fans of the show but I was slightly sceptical about doing the tour since it might lift some of the mystique the show offered. I absolutely enjoyed it though. Our knowledgeable tour guide Marc Baron did a terrific job and the driver Kenny skillfully timed traffic lights and drive-by's of key site locations. This is a tour we'll definitely recommend to our out-of-town friends that watch the Sopranos.

| We went to NY & NJ on a five day full schedule. Out of all the things we did, I have to say I enjoyed this the MOST. Mark was so great and informative with some humor that we all loved, and Kenny our driver was wonderful. My husband is the BIGGEST Soprano fan out there and was quite pleased. When you go to the neighborhood where Carmella's church is (Father Phil's Parish) and Satrielles used to be, Mark will give a chance to grap a quick drink. Do yourself a favor and RUN into the sandwich shop and get a FRESH, homemade Sub. Totally AWESOME!! We had a great time meeting Vito as well (although his prices are a tad bit high). If your in Little Italy you can get the same License plates he sells for $4.00 instead of $20.00. He'll take a picture with you for free. We loved this tour and if ever back in NYC, will go again! |
