| Even my wife, who is not as dedicated a Sopranos fan as I am, found the tour to be fun and interesting. It was most satisfying to experience first-hand, some of the tricks of the film-maker's art. It shows just how professional all of the people involved in such a long-running series have to be to keep us immersed in the stories.
All in all, a great way to spend a few hours. And the "Bada Bing" is a seriously "seedy" place! |

Good fun

| I enjoyed the tour, it was interesting, and I liked the use of DVD clips. I would have liked more information on the houses - I know it wasn't possible to see Tony's house, but I would of liked to have been told where the other houses were, eg Juniors, Janice's (the one from Johnny Sach) etc. I also thought the material said there might be chance to pick up cannoli's but I didn't see this.
Perhaps our tour was foreshortened because of the bad weather?
Good though, and the behind the scenes information was interesting. |

| great tour guide, interesting tour and locations. The cost of the tour was enough, but the souvenir side was a little much. On arrival we were enticed to meet one of the Soprano actors, only to realize we were waiting in line to buy a souvenir from him hawked out of the back of an SUV. Since we were on a tight budget, we felt foolish and left the line to get on the bus. Spending so much time at the Bada Bing to allow time for the group to buy more souvenirs took away from maybe seeing another site or two.
At the end we received a guide book only to find an envelope inside asking for a gratuity for the tour guide. This coupled with the souvenir thing pretty much settled the issue that we would NOT be leaving a tip. Isn't that what his salary is for? If the tour operators feel the guides salary is not sufficient, maybe they should skim some off their profits to pay a bit more to him/her. Otherwise a good tour. |

| The speaker (actor in some episodes of Sopranos) was really good. I would personally have liked to see some scenes with him in too. It was great meeting one of the actors (Vito) as well. |

| Really good format and presentation.
Relaxed but good pace throughout the stops.
Only critism is going to "Bada Bing" whilst open. I would have preffered to see the venue, without customers. What must they think when a tour bus turns up, can't be good for business?!
Thanks.
P.S. Onion rings - great touch! |

| I thought it was a good tour, something I was looking forward to since I was a fan of the show. I would've like to see more places but I understand the time frame. |
