| My husband and I went on this tour in Oct. '09 - we are huge Sopranos fans and definitely recommend this tour. Marc was a fantastic tour guide, having been an extra on the show for a large number of episodes. Everything was very well-organized and timed to perfection, which was impressive to us. The various show sites we visited were great & insightful, and seeing the show clips of the places we had just visited was a huge plus. For us, the highlight of the whole experience was getting to meet Joseph Gannascoli ("Vito"), who we met at the designated meeting point before the tour began. He was extremely friendly and giving, and we were only too happy to purchase memorabilia from him - hey, the man is a show cast member and came all the way from his home to make fans like us happy. Why SHOULDN'T he earn some money from this? It was a true thrill to meet him, and we got some great photos taken with him. He is a gentleman. Therefore, we certainly DON'T understand the idiots who have complained in previous postings that he would let you take pics of him only if you bought some of his items. The man is a great actor and a Sopranos star - how many chances do any of us get to meet someone famous like him? It was an honor for us.
Thanks again to Marc and Joe, you guys made this tour a very memorable and thrilling experience for us. |

| Everyone I told about this was amazed there was a tour. They all said they would give anything to see the places. It was very well done with a lot of information that you would not know about the show or the characters. After reflecting, it would have been nice to have received a DVD of the clips that we did see. There were too many for me to remember to share with everyone. Plus it would be something for me to look at again. It was well worth the money and time and would do it again. |

| It was a great surprise and pleasure to meet Joe Gannascoli, thanks for that! The bus ride was smooth, the driver was a true professional, what a job driving those tour buses through Manhattan and also around the suburban neighbourhoods of Jersey! Our guide Marc was fun, our trip was memorable and informative. I would have liked to get out of the bus more to take photos but we're limited in terms of parking spots and also the weather wasn't terrific. Brush up on your Sopranos trivia and maybe you'll win a prize! |

| Excellent tour, the guide was great and very knowledgeable as well as funny! A real thrill to go for a beer in the Bada Bing and to sit in the booth from the final scene. Would do the whole thing again if we came back to New York! |

| Lots of driving to lots of sites that time has changed (the vacant lot where Satriale's once stood being the ultimate non-event) and lots of purchasing opportunities. Even a knowledgeable guide didn't make up for the impression that it's a cynical exploitation. Not a total waste of time for die-hard fans, but I wouldn't go again. |

| This tour is definitely worth the asking price for anyone who considers themselves a fan of The Sopranos. Our tour guide was funny and very well informed about the show, the onboard quizzes were fun and the sites themselves are great (particularly Holsten's - best onion rings in the state). The opportunity to meet Joe Gannascoli, Vito from the show, was an unexpected bonus, although he is not officially part of the tour. |

| I would like to commend Mark as well as the driver for providing us with an informative and fun tour of the Sopranos filming sites. He provided is with anecdotes we may otherwise been unaware of and also gave us lots of time for photos and questions.
We highly recommend this tour. |
