| We are big Soprano fans so we throughly enjoyed our tour. Our tour guide was great and well informed. We learned lots of trivia about the show and would definitely recommend this tour. |

| Not what was expected at all. Bus was 1/2 hr late to start with weather well below zero and we were just standing about waiting for it to turn up. when it did show even though we were first to arrive at meeting point we were actually last on bus and only seats left were next to toilet - which smelt horrendous and we had 4hrs of this. toilets had no running water - thankyou to girl in front who had come prepared with babywipes to wipe hands!!! Bus seats were tatty to say the least. The tour guide was boring and basically was an 'hasbeen - wannabee again'. What he'd played as an xtra and what celebs he knows was about all he could talk about. The most annoying part of the tour was when he practically pulled each episode of the sopranos to bits by constantly talking about 'bloopers'. Does he not have a life? and does it really matter that a certain scene was filmed in NY and not New Jersey or the jail in the background shot was passed on the wrong side- I think not. This is a bloody good series we watch but it is not reality - get over it and take it for what it is A TV SERIES. Pointing out these bloopers is just pointless and a waste of time and has ruined parts of the programme, if I was that bothered about finding errors I could sit up all night and watch reruns over and over again-its not clever its bloody mindedness. Photos of scenes - forget it bus slows down for shots thro window but if you are sat at back - no chance- driver pulls up just for those at front - by the time the rear of the bus passes he puts his foot down and all you get is a wobbly pic!! Bada Bing forget it it is actually a working strip bar called satin dolls - no photos allowed but they will sell sopranos souvenirs out of a cupboard in a dingy office which incidentally can all be bought cheaper in little Italy!!
Tour guide apparently appeared in 1st episode of 1st series but got shot - does that not tell you something - if he were any good he'd still be in it - but he ain't - they had him shot for a reason!!
Because we left late we arrived back late and missed our booking in restaurant for dinner and had to reschedule for next evening.
Either everyone who has rated this tour with 5 stars were on a different tour to me or they have been financially rewarded (bribed).

| The guide knew everything about everything with regards to the sopranos tour and the show itself. Nothing was missed, and if it was I didn't notice. A fun day out and a real novelty if you aren't american and watch the show at home.
I am a big Sopranos fan and the best part of the trip was meeting 'Vito' and getting a picture with him.
Going to the Bada Bing and meeting a few of the crew members who had just finished shooting the last episode was also a highlight.
My girlfriend who had never really watched the show had a really good time and now watches the episodes to see where we had been to on the tour.
Highly recommend this tour, and you don't have to be an avid fan of the show to have an enjoyable trip.

| This tour was brilliant. As a Sopranos fan I really enjoyed it and made my trip to New York/New Jersey even better. My fiancee who isn't a fan and doesn't watch the Sopranos loved it too. The best part was going into the Badabing and sitting in Tony's spot at the bar. Also met Joe Gannascoli (Vito) which was a bonus. The tourguide Mark was very informative and entertained us during the journey between locations. Money well spent (even though it wasnt my money!) |

| We got to meet Vito, which was probably the best part!!! Our tour guide asked ALOT of crazy trivia questions, which was kind of annoying. Trivia is fun, but not the ENTIRE time!!! Overall though it was GREAT seeing all the different locations!!! If you like the Soprano's you should def. go. |

| Before the tour, we got to meet Vito from the first three seasons. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable of the Sopranos and had in fact starred as an extra on some of the shows. The sites were easily recognizable and after seeing the sites we got to see clips on the bus of the sites in the actual show. A must see event for any Sopranos fan! |

| To begin, I would go on this tour again and again and again! My boyfriend and I are huge Sopranos fans, so we knew that this tour would be for us. As soon as we checked in with our tour guide, he sent us behind the bus, where we met Vito himself. Yes, it was Vito, in the flesh. He signed a book and a picture for us, and even took pictures with my boyfriend and I. The tour started on time, and we stopped at so many Soprano's Hotspots. The guide gave us Sopranos trivia, gave us inside secrets, and talked extensively about all of the cast members. We left feeling like we knew so much more... and we thought we know it all before. The Skyway Diner was awesome, Satriale's was fabulous, and the Bada Bing was the icing on the cake. No matter what you may hear or read, GO!!! It was worth every penny! |
