| Our family of four (parents and two teenagers) are Sopranos addicts. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Mark Baron was a great host who was not only well informed but entertaining.
An unexpected benefit for us was seeing parts of New Jersey. Our ten day vacation from Australia mainly focussed on Manhattan. We knew we were seeing Soprano "locations" but didn't know how much of New Jersey would be included.
The added bonus of meeting Joseph Gannascoli was fun. |

| Had a great time on the tour....thought 4 hours was a bit long and think 3 hours is a bit more managable....we met 'Vito' before the tour....think it is a great idea you get to meet a cast member beforehand. |

| Tour guide is charming and knowledgeable about the series. The quizzes made the tour entertaining. Getting to stop at Holsten's and get free onion rings was a nice surprise. Less time at the Bada Bing would have been good. We would have preferred that there not be any dancers in the club at the time, so maybe it would be a good idea to start out with the Bada Bing at a time when it's not open to the public. |

| If you are a true Soprano fan, you must take this tour! Vito was at the pick up location to meet people and sell his book and shirts, pictures and sign autographs. That was just the beginning. I can go on and on, but it is for sure the best thing for any Soprano fan. GO!!!! |

| The tour bus was right on time in an easily accessible location on 7th and 39th. Before boarding, meeting Vito was a surprise and a pleasure and the trip continued in the same vein for the next 4 hours. The guide was excellent - amusing and with an encyclopedic knowledge of the show. Seeing so many Sopranos locations was excellent and I'm looking forward to identifying them as I watch re-runs. Highlight had to be Satin Dolls - aka The Bada Bing - I assumed that this would be a fairly sterile film set but to see it exactly as it appears in the show - glitzy and seedy with the accompanying pole dancers was amazing. It was great to see different parts of New Jersey too. Return trip to Manhattan was right on time and watching clips of the show was great - maybe could have done with more of those eg personal favourites of the guide not necessarily linked to the locations we'd been to. Overall though - excellent value and a great trip.

| Right from the beginning when we met "Vito Spattafore" and throughout the tour, this was just fun. This was just one day of a week I spent in New Jersey, so when I got home and started watching my Soprano's DVDs, I was laughing as I recognized a lot of the sites from either the tour or because of my visit. It was a shame that we couldn't at least drive by the Soprano residence and that Satriales was opportunistically sold off brick by brick, but despite this, I'd still very much recommend this tour to any Sopranos fan.

| Great to see so many places that feature on the show. Excellent tour guide. Sopranos clips shown on tvs on the coach that related to the sites visited. Trivia quizzes and prizes en-route. Very enjoyable morning.
Met actor who played 'Vito' before the trip but I have to say that he was fairly unpleasant and dis-interested, even when you were spending money on the over-priced souvenirs he was peddling from the back of his Mercedes SUV. It was clear that this was no meet and greet session - merely a money spinning scheme for the actor. Bit of a fall from grace really. Maybe he was in character??
In all though, my wife and I really really enjoyed the trip and would thoroughly recommend it to any Sopranos fan!! |
