| The host Mark was very knowledgeable, learned lots of interesting facts from the Sopranos & saw lots of sights from the series including the Bing, also met Vito and got chance to buy Sopranos merchandise. Best part of my trip to NY, loved it as would any Sopranos fan. |

| For every Sopranos fan, or fan of good Television Series is particular, this is a great tour to attend. You get to see a lot of the important Sopranos film locations where memorable scenes took place back in the series.
In addition to that, the tourguide is a great entertainer telling you loads of stuff about how shooting of an actual series like The Sopranos works, what funny little mistakes are actually in the series, some interesting background info on the cast and he tests your knowledge on the series with trivia (with prices to win! I won a free tour with the final question).
Despite the fact that the porkstore (Satriali's) doesn't exist anymore, you still get to go to the diner Christopher got shot, the Bada Bing! and the diner where the last scene was shot. The last two places have specials for the tour like merch and a free bite.
Pretty cool too that you get to watch clips on the bus of what you've just seen. So you actually know for sure you've been showed the right place, and dont have to hurry to your DVD collection back at home to see what you've just seen.
All in all, a real MUST for the fans, especially if you came to NY/NJ from far. |

| Had a great afternoon. The host was great, he had all the background on the cast and was very friendly. My only disappointment was that i did not get the photos I had wanted outside the Bing and Satriale's. Outside the Bing I could have been outside any industrial warehouse as its famous sign is gone. It's also a shame that Tony's house is in Upstate New York and also that Satriale's is no more. Sitting at Tony's booth in the Diner from the last scene saved the day. |

| Bursh up on your Sopranos trivia before the tour and you will be suprised about how much or how little you know. The tour guide was great and the sites interesting . After the tour check your dvd s and you can get a better insight into New Jersey Mobsters. |

| We were greeted and checked in. The bus was loaded on time but the bus was very hot. It was not a hot day. The person in charge of the tour said the busses are just that way. I have been on many bus tours in NYC and out of the country and never has the bus been that hot. The tour was very god would have enjoyed a little more video during the ride. The crowd which you have no control over was a little quiet. I would
recommend doing a clip that would run for about a half hour for the ride home,
Jersey was very nice. How about stopping at pizzaland? |

| The tour guide provided considerable insight to the making and success of the Sopranos. The visit to locations and ability to answer all the questions raised by the tour group makes it a recommeded event. |

| Although we anticipated enjoying the Sopranos tour, we were unprepared for the quality of not only the tour sites, but the enthusiasm and knowledge of the tour guide. What a pleasant surprise! The tour was fantastic and, as it turns out, was the highlight of our recent trip to NYC. The tour guide was very informative, entertaining, and kept his audience engrossed in all things Soprano. The video clips also helped us to appreciate the sites that we visited. At the outset of the tour, we were doubtful that we would remain interested in it for FOUR WHOLE HOURS...but the hours flew by and it became obvious that the length of the tour is just right--long enough to see the various Soprano sites but not so long as to be tedious. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who has watched the Sopranos. It is well worth the price and the time spent. Hats off to the tour guide, Marc Baron, and the bus driver, Kenny. We also enjoyed meeting Vito in person at the beginning of the tour. Fantastic! |

| The tour was fun but I won't book again because we were on a bus with marginally-functioning air conditioning on a hot, humid day in the mid 90s. It was actually cooler when we got off of the bus. |

| A very well executed tour. Host was great; his insight in to the production & his knowledge of the show were the highlights. I was dissapointed the pork store no longer exists but that's not your fault. |
