| The rain didn't spoil our enjoyment of the locations, and their description by the guide. But the bus needs better air conditioning - the windows fogged up very quickly.
The tour gave a good flavour of eastern New Jersey. My wife had not been to Jersey before, so it was a real eye-opener. A map would have been helpful.
The guide kept everyone involved through trivia questions and stories. This was very well done.
We felt that the Satin Dolls ("Bada Bing") visit really showed the squalor from which the mob makes its money, and how it exploits weak and gullible people. The real Satin Dolls doesn't even have a changing room for the dancers - they use the ladies' restroom. Not quite I think the impression the visit was intended to give. |

| Our guide was very knowledgable about the sights on the tour. He kept it interesting by adding 'behind the scenes' information. You don't have to be a visitor to NJ or NY to appreciate this tour. My boyfriend was supposed to come along and he's from NJ. He couldn't make it and was very disappointed after I told him all the things we saw and did. That'll teach him to miss out on a Zerve tour!!! My mother's never seen The Sopranos and even she had a great time. This is an absolute must see. |

| We had an excellent time and would strongly recommend this tour to anyone who is a Soprano fan. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. He definitely made the tour 5 star. We are even considering doing the tour again with friends who are big Soprano fans as well!!!! We are also going to be giving this to other friends as a gift. |

| The bus was overbooked, so rather than whack two people we accepted the offer of a free tour next week.

| For Christmas, I gave my husband a cd with the Sopranos theme song, a "Tony" cigar, a "Tony" shirt and 2 tickets to the Sopranos tour. It was fantastic! We learned a bunch of very cool things and I even got to snag Tony's newspaper from the bottom of his driveway. (haha) We couldn't wait until Sunday night and the opening of the last season. As we watched, all you could hear was "I was there" or "I knew that!"
As the show came to a close, both my husband and myself decided that this was something we should have done in season one and then maybe again this time, for old times sake.
Thanks for a wonderful time, fantastic tour guides and the canoli! |

| There were 6 in my group, only 3 of whom were regular Sopranos watchers, but we all enjoyed the day. The outstandingly delicious cannoli we had enroute was a special highlight. Our tour guide, Marc Baron, was articulate and knowledgeable, and injected several trivia questions along the way. He also gave considerable biographical information about the series principals, which made his presentation all the more interesting. I consider myself a fan of the show, but I learned there was a great deal about it that I didn't know I didn't know. The whole concept of an "On Location" tour is terrific, and I would not hesitate to recommend this activity to anyone. |

| My husband and I are big Soprano fans so taking this guided tour was perfect for us. The insight to the cast and the show that our guide Marc provided was interesting and surprising. Of course the canoli was the highlight of the tour. We highly recommend this Soprano Site tour! |

| Excellent Sopranos knowledge by tour guide (mine's not great) - funny and informative.
I would have definitely liked more time off the bus - or more local Jersey history apart from the Sopranos.
Hope this is not too negative.
Also - a long time till you get to eat and in our case the restaurant had experienced a power failure.
So we knew this before we borded (that first meal stop was 3 hours in - but that is way too long to wait.
The rest excellent and my sons and aunty are totally jealous that I had a beer at BAda Bing |
