| I really enjoyed this tour as I love The Sopranos. I have to say that I feel like sitting on the left side of the bus was worth about $20 less than sitting on the right side, as most of the sights were on the right. Don't know if anything can be done about that, but it was disconcerting at times.
Free advice: don't get cash from the Bada Bing! (aka Satin Dolls) ATM--the fee I thought was $1 was actually $10; totally legal, just kind of hard to read the fine print in the dark and a total ripoff! Perhaps the mob really is involved... |

| It was great the group leader was great and very very informative - the only thing that was disappointing was visiting a site that had been pulled down. Apart from that a great tour. |

| For anyone who loves the Sopranos this tour is great fun. Also as first time visitors to New York it was a great way to see parts of the area we would not otherwise have managed to visit. The guides are fun and as they talk you realise how little you took in of the nuances of the series. Watch it again before you go!! |

| 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! |

| 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. |

| This tour was loads of fun! Our tour guide, Greg, was very knowledgeable on Sopranos trivia, was lively and kept the group entertained. Thank you for a lovely afternoon!
