| My friend and I were coming to N.Y. to visit a friend and the idea of a Sopranos Sites Tour seemed good. It wasn't !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was magnifico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We enjoyed learning the background about all of the "Tony" sites and, of course, our favorite places were Joe's Bake shop and Bada Bing. We plan on taking the tour again but only after rewatching the Sopranos series to answer at least some of the trivia questions. Very well done, Marc! Bravissimo...........Grazie Mille |

| I am a lifelong resident of Philadelphia, North Jersey is certainly not a new experience for me. However the friend I was with from St. Louis thought it was the coolest thing he has ever done. I am not saying I did not enjoy it, it was just kind of weird feeling like a tourist in Kearney, NJ of all places.
Our guide was great, very knowledgable. I thought he spent a little too much time discussing the "mistakes" of the show, but it was still interesting. By far the highlight for me was the great lap dance at Bada Bing (or Satin Dolls.) I would have done the trip all over again just for that. Oh, and also the Canoli was incredible. Overall I think this is a great way to kill 4 hours in Ny/N. Jersey for a true out of towner that is a fan of the Sopranos. Anyone that lives within 2 hours of the area may be a little disappointed. |

| Guide was excellent at presenting material and behind the scenes knowledge. Site visits followed by clips allowed for understanding and placement of scenes. |

| The guide was very informative and helpful. He gave notice before the sites came so you could get ready for pictures. He also provided lots of inside information as he was in 13 episodes of the Sopranos. On a negative note, I was disappointed we didn't get to go to Livia's house, and the diner in the final scene of the final episode but I don't know where these locations are geographically so it could be unfeasible. A map of some locations not covered including those mentioned above would be good so people can visit them on there own time if they wish.
Thanks for the canolies!

| Mark made the entire tour a complete blast. He was a wonderful guide who provided a deep well of information re; the show. He truly made the tour 4 hours of continuous fun. What a pleasure it was to be a part of! To Sopranos viewers, I would highly recommend taking this tour. Tour rated by Kevins wife Andrea. :-) Kevin wasnt on the tour w/us. |

| The tour was both informative and hugely enjoyable. The guide was an actor who had been in the show and clearly knew his stuff. His patter was very amusing and he kept it interesting with questions and answers (including some prizes!). I don't know if I was more impressed by a visit to the Bada Bing or by my first taste of Cannoli. |

| There were several NJ natives, and a NJ transplant as well as someone from another country. We were all impressed with the amount of information and the unknown trivia about the show and about New Jersey that we learned.
We chose this particular tour company based on a recommendation from a previous attendee and would definitely recommend it to others. |

| As an avid fan of The Sopranos, I learned a lot of things about the show. It was fun to see the scenes right after seeing the sites on the tour. |
