| Our tour guide, Mark, was excellent. He turned out to be very nowledgeable about the series and had lots of fun trivia to tell about the show. Also, he told many interesting anecdotes about the world of acting and showbusiness. His upbeat demeanor and delivery turned the tour into a good, and at times very funny, experience. As becomes an actor, Mark managed to captivate his audience, which is no small feat on a four hour tour.
However, it would be better if one could get off at one or two other locations. Most notably, Pizza Land. For altough this might be no more than a little dinky pizza parlor — and one sees just a short glimpse of the place during the opening credits — it is very recognizable for most viewers of the Soprano's. And its dimminutive appearance is therefore all the more fun. So, find a parking spot nearby, for any Soprano fan would like to tell his friends he had a slice at Pizza Land (whatever the quality). It would make a good addition to the excellent cannoli!
Besides the many locations, taking a tour through the Meadowlands of New Jersey is like driving through the furthest reaches of Tony Soprano's mind — not always pretty, sometimes downright barren, but nontheless fascinating. A place few would visit on their own, short of taking the wrong exit on the Pulaski Skyway. Or in life — for that matter. A good way to spend the afternoon for any true Soprano-fan.
Sincerely,
Henri de By. |

| The activity was interesting; and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He made the tour quite enjoyable. The cannoli was a real treat as was the visit to the Bada Bing. We would have liked to have seen Tony Soprano's house as well as his mother's house. Overall, the tour was quite good. |

| I really enjoyed the guide. He was very knowledgeable. However, there was to much driving. We should of been able to see more places and walk around more. I also think everyone wanted to see Tony's house. Maybe we could of meet at least one of the actors. |

| I will NOT receommend the tour, more likely than not I will tell everyone I know NEVER to go on this tour. Ther website incorrectly stated that the tour would include footage from the show. There was NO footage. The tour is useless without the footage. I have already done the Sex and the City tour and it was great - because it had the FOOTAGE so you knew what you were seeing! It wa a complete waste of my time and my MONEY and now I will be canceling my plans to do the Manhatten TV tour because of this tour. |

| I thought the trip was fun and interesting, especially our tour guide. He provided us with behind the scenes facts about the show. It would be fun to maybe meet a cast member on the tour if possible! |

| Guide had a lot of info, since he works as an extra. He knew all the plot lines and show info. I would suggest incorporating video into the tour - for example, the Letterman top 10 video. Clips from the show that relate to the locations visited would be tough to get due to copyright, but would add a lot of value to the visit of each location. Perhaps a discount on other tours to those who recommend a friend to a tour that they have been on? |

| I thought the activity was excellent. It not only gave me a sense of what happens behind the scenes on Sopranos but the whole filming industry in general. It was very informative and I would recommend it to anybody. I do think that we could have been able to spend more time at major sights but it was still a great experience if you like Sopranos. |

| We were disappointed that we didn't meet Vito. We would like to have had a picture of us with him. I even bought a picture of the Soprano's so I could get it autographed. Mark was great! Funny and knowledgable.
Tour was fun!
Cannoli's were excellent-nice touch! |
