| For me, the tour got off to a strange start when I was told to cross the street to meet one of the Sopranos actors. It turned out to be Joe Gannascoli (sp?), who plays Vito. I was very excited at the prospect of shaking his hand but he only wanted to flog his book and other stuff from the trunk of his car. It seemed a bit unseemly so I quickly left and didn't say too much or ask to have my picture taken with him. The tour guide - who was great - obviously knows this is an issue because he started the trip by asking: "Was Joe in a good mood or did everything cost 20 bucks?"
After that, the tour was great. Lots of Sopranos trivia and lots of interesting stops and viewpoints for dedicated fans. |

| I recommend this tour, especially if you are a fan of the sopranos first few seasons as you will go to a lot of the locations that were shown early on. Overall I say it was a real good experience. |

This tour was fantastic! Highly Recommended!

| This was a great tour. Marc Barron was the tour guide. He was phenomenal. He filled the entire 4 hours with interesting information and trivia. He showed us clips of the sites that we were driving through. The stops at Satriale's and the Bada Bing were great. The cannoli was also a nice touch. It was also great to meet Joe Ganascoli "Vito". Not at one point did this tour seem too long. The only thing that I would advise is to know your Sopranos before going on this tour. Thanks for a great time! |

| Superb Sopranos tour, we thoroughly enjoyed our day. Meeting 'Vito' was a real unexpected bonus, and Marc was a superb host. Lots of in-depth knowledge and funny interaction with tour participants. My favourite day of my New York holiday! |

| Mark did an amazing job making this tour fun and captivating for 4 hours. Let's face it, we were visiting diners, swamps, parking lots, highways, and garbage dumps -- the tour guide makes all of the difference. His recollections of scenes, his insights, and then the video clips allowed us to relive our favorite cinematic moments. I think that this is a can't-miss good time for Sopranos fans.

| On site locations that were visited were enjoyable. It would have been a little better had we had the opportunity to visit several more based on the many locations that were used on the show but regardless, the selections were fabulous. the tour guide was excelent and very well knowledged of the behind the scenes information relating to the show. he was funny, polite and very accomodating to all of us. |

| Marc Baron was nice and entertaining. He did a good job of filling in the four hour tour with lots of information. I thought it may have gone a little long, but maybe that is just me and my impatience. The cannoli was sooo good and a nice touch. I would have really like to have seen more scenes on a regular basis on the tv and think that would have added to the fun. |

| Took the tour being a HUGE FAN of the Sopranos and wanted to see the sites where they shot. Everything was as i expected it to be. A little let down with certain aspects that the tour could not help(ie. Satriales sign is down, not being able to see Tonys house etc.) But other then that a good time. A little long(4 hours) and having Vito sell autographs out of the back of his car before the tour is a little creepy.
Recommended to big fans of the show! If you have only seen only 1 or 2 eps you will be lost!! |

| This tour was the highlight of my trip to the Big Apple! Very professional, informative, and FUN! The guides did a wonderful job of presenting the Sopranos locations! And the free canolis (everyone on the tour gets one) were the best I've ever had! Thanks also to the staff and management of Satin Dolls (The Bada Bing) for making us feel welcome! I would love to do this tour again, and I would highly recommend it to any Sopranos fan, or even just a fan of New Jersey! Absolutely Fantastic! |
