| Hello, and firstly thank you for an exscellent Sopranos tour we had on Saturday 15th Dec. 2007
Our host, Marc, was first class and very knowledgeable (at points too knowledgable that it was scary!) - he constantly kept us amused and entertained against the NJ traffic.
The driver, Kenny, was also excellent, pulling up and slowing where needed and keeping within the traffic flow !
Delighted too that Joe (Vito) was there to greet us at the start of the tour.
The only suggestion I could make would be - visit fewer sights. Visiting the Bada Bing, Holsteins, the Christopher shooting diner, Satriale's street were all excellent and well timed. However there was a little too much of looking out of the window at minor spots and perhaps the tour could be more succinct by visiting the main spots and reducing the tour length perhaps.
All said though, I loved the tour and would recommend it to any Sopranos fan and what an honour it was to drink a Jack Daniels on the rocks at Tony's spot in the Bada Bing!

| I read some reviews before our trip and they were so positive i thought they must be made up! (i’m getting as paranoid as T!)
Anyway we decided to book the tickets about teatime Friday for the Saturday tour. I actually thought hey! this cant be very good if there are still spaces left the night before?
How wrong was i?
By far the best money i spent in NYC. And the 1 thing that makes this tour special is the guide Mark (Who i believe has appeared in 8 episodes as an extra)
His knowledge of the show, locations, writers,actors and NYC in general is amazing.
We especially enjoyed the locations where you could walk around. (The Diner where Chris got shot, Holstens Diner and of Course Bada Bings)
Definitely will be watching the whole collection from start to finish over christmas to put the new knowledge to the test. |

| I recently went on a Sopranos tour with my grandfather. We took a bus from New York City into New Jersey and visited major filming locations, learned about what goes on behind the scenes, and even visited the restaurant in the final scene of the series.
The host was really good and kept us alive throughout the entire journey. Prizes were given out for those who answered trivia questions correctly, and we also got to visit the Bada Bing. (it's really called Satin Dolls)
Overall I thought this tour was great. The only thing I would recommend is that more filming locations are visited. I suggest the Sopranos house is added to the tour, as well as filming locations throughout New York City and Long Island. From what I've heard, traveling to the Sopranos house would take too long and I'm sure traveling to Long Island would take too long as well.
The tour should have buses designated for specific locations. Instead of having only one tour for New Jersey and the same filming locations, why not have one tour designated for the Sopranos house, one for Long Island, New York City, etc.
Overall, I thought the tour was great and I highly recommend it to anyone who's a Sopranos fan and is interested in what goes on behind the scenes. I still recommend the tour goes to more locations to attract more customers and give a broader perspective of the show. Besides that, the tour was great and I hope to be participating again. |

| The guide on the tour had so much knowledge on the show, plus going to the diner where the last scene was filmed and drinking a martini at the bar in the Bada Bing were both excellent and surreal things to do!!
The tour was much better than i thought! We also got to meet and have photos with Joe Gannascoli who plays Vito. |

| Enjoyed the tour a great deal. It was nice to have a guide who knew what he was talking about and could give us a little behind the scenes knowledge. Meeting with Vito was an added benefit as well. An Excellent tour and a great guide. Highly recommend. |

| This was a great tour, it took you around many locations in New Jersey featured in the series, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable on all of the characters and scenes. The best parts were meeting Uncle Veto, visiting Bada Bing and the coffee shop where the final episode was filmed. Would recommend to any Sopranos fan! |
