| The Sopranos tour was excellent, I had never seen the Soprano's before but my mom is a big fan. I enjoyed the tour as much as she did and will now be watching regularly so I can see all the places and look out for all the bloopers we learned about on the tour. Great tour to do if you are taking people to New York and have done all the other sights to death!! |

| It was pretty good, we learned some interesting things about the show, actors, etc. We thought it was a little weird that diners and cemetaries kept being pointed out to us when they had nothing to do with the show but it helped pass time while driving through Jersey I guess. Our bus did not have a stereo system so we were a bit disappointed to have no music. The bus was also extremely cold and at times it was hard to hear the guide. I would recommend it to people who REALLY like the show and are interested in the characters. However, I would warn them that it is a little long and there is quite a bit of down time while driving through New Jersey. I would not recommend it to someone who only occasionally watches the show because I think it would be pretty boring for them. |

| I thought it was great, and I am not a Sopranos expert by any means (I haven't seen the early years of the show). My nephew thought it was the highlight of his trip to New York. |

| the only strong complaint was the fact that the tour bus wasw about 25 minutes late, which caused the tour to be delayed and therefore we needed to rush to get to our eveninhg activity. It was hot and humi8d and waiting oin the corner was not pleasant. It was not the guide's fault, but the tardiness was put a damper on the tour. We left asnother activity in the middle, in order to be promt, and the bus was not. The guide was informative and ent4ertaining. |

| It was nice. The canoles were good and it's nice they let people tour the Bada Bing.
One thing -- some webpage says there are bathrooms on the bus, but when we went, there wasn't any toilet paper! Luckily there are several stops, so that didn't put any damper on the tour, and the canoles more than made up for that. |

| I think the tour was okay and fun but there are some suggestions as on how to make it even better or actually on how to make it feel a little more "real"...first of all you really need to be a huge fan to remember all the spots that you see during the tour...basically you have to have all the episodes memorized to be able to remember the one episode where "chris put an envelope in the mailbox" and to get something out of seeing that mailbox....Therefore we would recommend having a video including parts of the episodes where the spots you see on the tour are included. The video coul be shown on the bus while the guide is speaking.
The biggest dissapointment was the first stop in New Jersey, the stop where we were able to meet "Vito" / Joe. That was such a pathetic and obvious attempt to make money off "stupid" tourists that it wasn't even funny. Having Vito sitting in a donutshop selling Sopranos and Sex in the City (!?!) merchandise is not what I call a nice meeting with Vito. The prices were high, joe did not seem to enjoy what he was doing and as a matter of fact seemed a little rude. All he said was the prices, "what do you want" and "pictures outside". And what the heck were the sex in the city merchandise there for? I dont know. We just got the feeling that the aim of the first stop was only to make money off the stupid tourists.
I would recommend investing in making the tour as "real" and genuine as possible rather than having some actor not enjoying what hes doing selling his stuff with crazy prices..looking like he was forced to do it.
The part where we all got to enjoy a canneloni was a great example of how to make it real...the visitors were being made as if they were a part of the sopranos-world. MOre of that kind of stuff!!!

My boyfriend is a huge Sopranos fan. This was a birthday present for him. Needless to say he was very very happy
when he realized he was going on a tour of his favorite show, ( I didn't tell him anything). The tour was Excellent!
Our tour guide was chock full of knowledge and trivia regarding the show, Manhattan and N.J. he made the trip
extra special, his personality was fantastic!! He kept all who were aboard very interested and entertained. When we returned to
Manhattan we continued our "Italian" theme by going to Little Italy. Our fantastic tour guide had also told us of a
restaurant that a cast member "Bobby" lived upstairs from. So we decided to go there. Well not only was
"Bobby" there, but so was "Johnny Saks!!!!" I thought my boyfriend was going to explode,
he was so excited. This as he had told me was the best birthday present he has ever gotten, very much thanks to you!!!
Your tour has made this birthday one he will never,ever forget!!! I very highly recommend it!!!!!
