| This tour brought us mostly to primarily minor and seedy North New Jersey places in "The Sopranos", so would likely only have value for the hardcore, rather than modest, Soprano's fan. That being said, I would not recommend the tour to those who only have a minor interest in "The Sopranos". Most of the tour sites could very well seem mundane and unexciting to the non-Sopranos enthusiast.
A major disappointment of the tour was that Satriale's, the building, was gone from the lot that is was supposed to be in, which was, on the tour, completely empty. Satriale's, however, was advertised by the tour as something that would be seen on it. Nonetheless, I appreciated visiting important Sopranos tour spots, namely Holsten's (site of the final Sopranos scene), the diner outside of which Chris was shot, and Bada Bing. I also enjoyed the surprise opportunity to meet Vito and found the guide himself to be knowledgeable, though did not like at all an inappropriate remark he made about Meadow being a "slut". |

| I thought it was quite a good tour. The guide was excellent and really knew his stuff, I was very impressed by his manner, enthusiasm and overall presentation. I would recommend it for sure, although I would tell anyone I was recommending that it really was detailed on the Sopranos. I did think the idea of meeting Vito was a waste of time. He appeared a long way from enthusiastic and his attire made him look like he had just gotten out of bed. I went to the car but didn't bother meeting him as it was apparent that he was only there to sell merchandise so I would have felt awkward in meeting him without buying anything. If there is going to be a star from the show I feel that is done properly, i.e. not at the back of a car with the person presented as above. However, I would like to point out that it was thoroughly enjoyable overall and I have no issues apart from the one outlined. |

| To any big Soprano fan in New York has to do the Soprano Tour.The Tour guide is great with real knowledge of the show.The stops are great especially the diner where the last scene was shot and the bing which just topped the tour off completely.If you get there early enough you can meet Vito from the show. Its a little funny how he charges to sign autographs out the back of his car but still its good to meet someone from the show.So go see the tour to top off a great New York trip. |

| I enjoyed the tour a little bit, but because I only saw bits and pieces of shows,
I was a little clueless of the details and not real interested because I didn't know what he was talking about.
But after 4 days 3 nights in NYC and doing and seeing all that we did, my husband said how he really liked the Soprano Tour. |

| This tour was excellent! Our tour guide was entertaining and extremely informative, providing a lot of behind the scenes info. Some tips for the tour include bringing cash if you want to purchase overpriced Sopranos merchandise from 'Vito' and the Bada Bing, and watch as much of the series as you can before you go on the tour so you have a chance of winning some prizes for answering quiz questions. |

| Our first full day in New York saw us boarding a coach which was to take us on a 5 hour trip around New Jersey,discovering and savouring some of the places which, until then, were just images from one of our favourite tv series.
It was our first trip to the U.S. (Las Vegas doesn't count) so the experience was even better.
Our guide was also a sometime extra who had worked on the Sopranos show plus others and entertained us the whole time with facts, anecdotes and a running quiz (sometimes with prizes) that kept the tour interesting throughout.
The bus itself was comfortable although I shared a seat with a gentleman who I seriously thought had been planted as a secret heavy extra ! He made Bobby seem like a ballet dancer and never made a sound or smiled or reacted.
I am only 5'2" so that was ok.
For a fan of The Sopranos or any U.S. crime film or series this was a welcome to America we won,t forget.
I would reccommend this tour to all Soprano and Crime thriller fans everywhere. |
