| Arrived outside the button statue on the corner of 39th at 14.03 on the day of our tour. Our tour was due to start 3 minutes previous but no signs of the group we were to meet. Attempted to call the phone number provided and received no answer. very dissapointed to say the least. |

| I thought the tour was excellent, well thought out and very informative.
Some people may baulk at using up 4 hours of a limited weekend trip on this, but I have to say that as a fan this couldn't be further from the truth, the time spent can only be described as 'quality'. |

| I couldn't believe it when we turned up Vito was signing autographs. The chance to meet a star from the series was an amazing start. I loved this opportunity to see the landscape of New Jersey. We got so many insights into how the series was put together. We saw the Turnpike and the backdrops. We got fascinating information about the actors. And we got to see the Bada Bing, with the girls working!
New York is an incredible city. This was one of the highlights of my visit! |

| Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Visiting various locations(especially sitting in the booth Tony and the "family" sat in during the final episode)was just wonderful. The tour guide really made everything come alive.
A must for any SOPRANO fan. |

| This was a great experience for my 18 year old son and myself who are avid fans of the Sopranoes on our vist to NY from England. The tour guide (who has had afew parts in the show himself) made the trip with his extensive knowledeg come alive!
I thought the locations were good given that the show was shot all across NJ and it would have been unrealistic to expect to cover every scene shoot in 4 hours especially when you see the traffic.
The use of DVD on the bus to show scenes from the show relevant to the location you were visiting really brought the location alive. The highlights were the Bing (I do really now have the T shirt ) and Holstens where the last scenes of the show were shot. We sat in the Sopranos booth here and were made to feel very welcome by the owners and customers alike.
If you are a Sopranos fan this is for you go you will learn and enjoy and when you watch the DVD box set again as I am now doing , the trip will enhance the watching experience.
PS The only thing we could not find out was if Tony did actually get wacked in the last scene, lots of ideas but no insider confirmation.........we will never know!! |

Fun day! I recommend it if you're a real fan!

| We had a great time! The tour guide was excellent and had lots of insiders informaton about the show! Some of the sites I didn't recognize but once you're back on the bus they play a clip and you think to yourself "ohhhh yeahhhh, now I remember"! It was cool sitting in the booth that Tony sat in the last scene at the diner. Bada bing was cool too, they give you enough time in there to buy a souvenier and get a drink! I would definitelyl recommend this tour if you're a true Sopranos fan! |

| Everything about this tour lived up to expectations, we were met as as per the the writtan joining instruction which were very clear, got the chance to meet "VITO"( tip, don't waste $20 dollars on a printed photo, save your money for the Bada Bing shop or buy a signed book and have someone take a photo of you with the "big man").
As soon as we got on the coach the information started, our bus wasn't full of the most outgoing of folk but this didn't deter our guide who throughout the whole 4 hour trip keept us well stocked with facts and stories. You need to have more than a passing interest in the show as the information given would supprise all but the most obsessed fans. All round I would reccomend this tour as very informative, a good way to see a differtent part of New York and overall well worth the money. |
