| This was a great tour for all Sopranos lovers! It was great to see the many locations where the show was filmed. The tour guide really made the trip worth while because he had an extensive knowledge of the show, the characters and the actors. He was involved in 13 episodes of The Sopranos. The Sopranos trivia questions were great at testing your knowledge of the show and great fun! They even gave out prizes, some of which were hilarious. Highlights were seeing Satriale's before it is gone....it's being torn down at this time. Other highlights were seeing sights from the opening credits, learning how they filmed certain scenes, and of course... seeing the Bada Bing/Satin Dolls club. The "icing on the cake" was when the tour provided a homemade, authentic Cannoli from a bakery in Lyndhurst, NJ to everyone on the bus. We had a great time, learned a lot and would recommend this tour to all Sopranos fans. |

A warning would have been appropriate.......

| Tour leader was informative and well spoken. We liked the interactive contests. Some of us were disappointed as to the stops/sites. (Not that interesting)
The canoles were delicious. The last stop-Bada Bing (Satin Dolls) was pretty dirty and disgusting--not in good taste for children on the tour. Work was being done to the building and the females had to share a restroom with the "dancers"--both men and women seated near us found this part a major turn off. (Also there were kids 18 and under and it might have been to good idea to inform their families earlier that during this stop they would have to sit outside-which really was not fair) |

| I arrived at the location of the tour with high expectations. As a Sopranos fan, I couldn't wait to see where the series was brought to life. However, from the exact moment that I presented myself and was told to "meet one of the stars", the tour simply slid lower and lower into awfullness. Seeing one of the shows actors selling material out of the trunk of his car, as if he were turning tricks in the backseat should have been a sign to not get on the bus. From that point, to visiting the bing, a great effort was required to not: a. jump off the moving bus or b. lie down in front of the bus while it was moving. Instead of wasting 2 hours of our time telling us about all the irrelavent mistakes that came about during the show, it would be wise to do the right thing and cut the mind numbing tour by the 3 hours.
I would not recommend this tour to any person who has even the slightest appreciation for life. For all potential customers, just watch the dvd's, unless 4 excruciating hours of pointless detail, painfull jokes, vomit inducing canoli and the welcoming of death are your idea of a good time. |

| My daughter gave me this tour as my fathers' day present. What a great gift! from the greatest daughter in the world!
We both love the Sopranos and now that the series is over this tour filled in much of the color commentary that all true fans seek. the scene behind the scene. Mr. Baron's unique perspective and meeting "Vito" made for a truly special day.
I just wish I was able to capture all of the snippets of information that he shared with us. Information overload for sure! Great stuff. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for all fans from any nation.
My beautiful daughter and I were the on NJians on the tour. |

| I took my son on the tour - he's a Sopranos fan. We had a great time seeing the sites and answering the trivia questions.
I've already recommended the tour to a number of other friends who are Soprano's fansl |

| Surprised at the thoroughness the tour. We had a blast and to top it off met a Soprano cast member.
We are surprised that On Location tours does not have tours in Toronto. We live in Toronto and understand that several hollywood blockbusters films are shot in Toronto on a regular basis. |

| This tour was entertaining and informative. The tour guide - Marc Baron - made the difference. He was awesome! We learned so much Sopranos trivia - many things we didn't know. And it was really interesting hearing the back stories of the show. It was especially interesting hearing the details from an actor on the show. The time flew by - and this was the best value for the money of any of our NY activities. |

| Our tour guide, I think David was his name....was an absolute hoot! He was an expert on all things Sopranos and was very funny and sardonic too. A great combination. The tour has some great location stops (though take a deep breath for the Bada Bing ladies and gentlemen!) and was not remotely boring for one second. All Sopranos fans should take this tour. Book in advance because seats do get booked up pretty quickly. As a New York gal I rarely find reasons to go to Jersey, but on this occasion I made an exception! Do it! |

| If you are a Sopranos fan (even just a little bit), you must go on this tour! It was full of information I obviously missed while watching season after season. It made me want to go home and watch them all over again. It is worth every penny!!! |
