| Die Tour begann bei der Abfahrt in New York mit einen Knaller. Vito persönlich war da und man konnte ihn fotografieren und bekam Autogramme von ihm für 20 Dollar. Die Tour fand am Ostersonnatg statt und wir hatten so das Glück auch das Bada Bing von innen zu sehen, dafür war das Holstens Diner, wo die letzte Szene stattfand geschlossen und wir konnten es nur von außen sehen. Wenn das Bada Bing mit den " Girls" geöffnet hat kommt man nur in den Vorraum um "Merchandises" zu kaufen. Unser Tour Guide war der Schauspieler der Meadow und Camilla im Plaza Hotel bedient hat und auch in kleineren Nebenrollen bei den Sopranos aufgetreten ist. Er gestaltete die Tour phantastisch und hatte noch mehr Background Infos als in dem schon klasse Sopranos Buch aufgeführt werden. Der Tour Bus hielt an mehren Locations und man konnte tolle Fotos schießen. Die Tour dauerte die angeben 4 Stunden und man bekam einen super Eindruck vom Sopranoland New Jersey. PS . Im HBO Store Ecke 42 Second Street / 6 Avenue bekommt man als Tour Teilnehmer nach der Tour 10% Rabatt auf alle Soprano Artikel. |

| Very enjoyable trip packed with fascinating info on all things Sopranos and otherwise.Excellent guide in Marc who even though the Bada Bing was closed for Easter Sunday (holy poledancers!) arranged for the manager to open specially so we could see the inside and we were able to take photos which is not allowed when the club is open. Also we got to meet the actor who plays Vito Spatafore in Manhatton at the start of the trip.A must for Sopranos fans. |

| The trip was well organised from beginning to end and we found the guide to be enthusiastic and full of information related to the Sopranos tour. He even did little quizzes and competitions on the bus as we were travelling from location to location.
Unfortunately we went on Easter Sunday which meant that some venues on the tour were not open, which was disappointing. I would rather have known this and been required by the website to book on a different day, nevertheless it was worth the money I paid.
We were able to see areas outside NYC which made our trip even more interesting and the bus service was clean and comfortable. I think the tour would be especially suited to 'die hard' fans because the level of knowledge that the tour guide had was extremely detailed - not just about the cast and storylines but also the technicalities with filming. |

| I bought tickets for this tour as a birthday treat for my boyfriend. I was the only one on the coach who had never seen an episode of the Sapprano's but I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it! The tour guide was informative, knowledgeable and friendly and I really enjoyed the little snippets of the show that highlighted the area's that we had just visited. One negative is that my boyfriend didn't take me on the Sex and the City tour!! :-( |

| It seems that a lot of people attend this tour from England (our bus was mostly English) and I bet few went home disappointed. The Sopranos was one of the best series ever and for aficionados of the show, this is a great experience. New Jersey may not always look like the "Garden State" but a lot of these sites have the "down & dirty" feel you associate with the series. Highlights were of course meeting Joe before we took off, Holsten's and our final destination, the Bada Bing! (Satin Dolls). A word of advice, keep clear of the bar unless you have plenty of green for the entertainment! It's just a pity that the pork store, Satriales, is just a vacant lot! Our Guide, Marc (a Sopranos insider) kept us well entertained along the way. All in all a must for fans of the show. |

| I will give you an advise that you can not refuse!!!!
Take this tour! Capisce?
The tour guide Marc Baron was great. He worked in the series and in the Law & Order show, so he knows what he is talking about.
If you are lucky, as my wife and I were, you will meet one of the Soprano's crew at the start of the tour, and perhaps have a picture taken, as I did with Vito Spatafore (J. R. Gannascoli).
The last and the best, to have a drink at the real Bada Bing, perhaps seating at the same spot as Tony and his crew used to seat to talk business.
Take the tour and you will feel like a Made Guy!!!!
