| We were thrilled to be able to relive first hand some of the memorable moments of our favorite TV series, the Sopranos. Our guide, Mark, had been in several episodes and was able to provide much humorous and knowledgeable insight to the show, its themes, actors' personalities and trivia related to it.
Our tour began in the Garment District of Manhattan, crossed the Lincoln Tunnel with A-3's show theme playing, and made a second pickup in beautiful North Joisy. We then saw many of the sites that make a visit to the Oil and Petrochemical State a memorable experience. We saw the prison where Tony B was recently released from, the diner where Christopher was shot in the 4th season, the site of several of Big Pussy's conversations with the FBI when he'd turned an informant, and of course, Kearney, home of Satriale's, the coffee shop where Tony and friends have many an espresso, and the Italian, er Irish-American club. The trip ended at one of the show's landmark sites, the Bada Bing, aka, Satin Dolls.
We strongly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys the Sopranos. We haven't enjoyed an afternoon as much as this in a long, long time. Our guide, Mark, was tremendous, and our driver negotiated the wonderful North Joisy road system with the deftness of a Paris taxi driver. Next time we're in NY, we'll do this again, with our Joisy friends, who weren't aware of the tour. In short, this is an experience not to be missed. |

| I would recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in the show. I would have liked to have pictures to see of the characters as our guide spoke about them. |

| I really like the tour. I was very interesting and the canoli's were excellent. However, my best part of the tour was going to the Bada Bing. It was so cool to be there. |

| Pretty good trip. We were able to see alot of the familiar shots from the show. It would have been nice to see the Soprano house used in the show. |

| We enjoyed the tour very much. The guide had lots of anecdotes about the characters and really knew the bios of the actors. The trivia questions and prizes were fun. Bus was wonderful. I would recommend this tour to anyone who follows the show. It would have been nice to have more time to make purchases at the "Bada Bing". |

| We were looking for a "Sopranos connection" during our visit to New York. This tour fulfilled it. There was lots of inside information and the sites we visited were straight from the show. If you love the Sopranos, take this tour. |
