| 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. |

| My dad and I were in New York for the long weekend to see Yankee stadium and for one day we thought we would do something different. I have seen the Soprano's and knew a little bit about the show and my dad might have only seen 3 or 4 episodes. The tour was really informative and had a lot of behind the scenes information about the actors and locations that have made us bigger fans. We watch the show all the time now to see if we can pick out where they are in the show. A small touch about the tour that I really liked is on the screens in the bus they showed you the scene that was shot where you are looking out the window or where you are standing. The guide was amazing and extremely knowledgable about all the actors and locations that were shot on the show. I have already started recommending this to my buddies if they go to New York. |

| This is an absolute must for any die-hard Sopranos fan. Visiting so many different locations, with a guide who knows more than the average anorak (well it helps that he was in 13 episodes himself) is the best way to find out all the insider information. A visit to the restaurant where the final shot took place, sitting in the booth, eating onion rings, listening to the Journey song is a fabulous way of commemorating the end of one of the greatest television series ever made. |

| We did this as the last thing on our NY holiday and thought it was excellent. Even if you are not a Sopranos fan, you will learn a good deal about New Jersey which contrasts hugely with NY. My small point of criticism was that some of the prizes were naff and the questions asked to win them very obscure, unless you had watched the episodes v recently. You also need to be aware that the Bada Bing is a live dancing girls bar. I felt a tad uncomfortable in there, but this is a personal thing. I did notice that at least half my group felt the same as they came out of it early. |

| As a New Hampshire tour guide I commend Marc Baron (our guide) for making this one of the best tours I've taken. He was not only well informed with the tid bits that go behind the scenes that really can make the trip, but humorous, and was a wealth of information concerning the cast of the Sapronos and the sites visited.
He varried his presentation with trivia, t.v. clips and music, plus entertained questions from those of us on the tour.
For other Saprono fans, this is a must. Now I'll be rewatching the series on d.v.d. with a new and improved eye!

| It was nice at some places, such as off course the Bada Bing. But I had expected more of it, such as more known places, maybe even meeting someone, because all the actors are from New Jersey they told us. It was more a tour through New Jersey. I must say that I like New Jersey. As an international tourist I have now a good picture of a real American city.
The tourguide was very good, and very nice. It was nice that he asked prize-winning questions. Only a pitty that there were 2 guys who knew almost everything and that they got all the prizes. The prizes should be given to more people, not more than one prize to each person...
But I enjoyed it! The Sopranos are great! |

| This is a great way to see New Jersey and have some fun along the way. My boyfriend didn't watch the show before the tour but now he does. I am recommending it to all my friends |
