| We enjoyed the tour and found the guide very friendly and well informed. I think the tour is a little too long - would be happy to see fewer sites and be back in Manhattan around 5.30 instead of 6.30 as we were.
I would also comment that there was too much emphasis on 'trivia' associated with the making of the show rather than on the content - I would have enjoyed more discussion of the sources of the show, to what extent it is 'true to life' and so on. |

| The guide was good, very knowledgeable – and I really appreciated his consideration for those who hadn't seen Series 5 yet. The itinerary was well thought out and I appreciated the guide's attempt to keep us entertained for the whole tour, though the non-stop barrage of TV trivia and detail got a bit wearing as the tour went on. (A few more general bits of background or historical information on the area or the local Mob would have been welcome to this visitor.) Two suggestions: 1) on arriving at the street corner by The Button, it was not at all obvious who the guide was, especially as numbers gathered, so latecomers wandered about looking lost. A Sopranos Tour sign visible above the guide's head (not at his obscured waist) would be helpful; and 2) why were we kept waiting on a cold and windy street corner for so long - not much fun for those who like to get there in good time - when we could have sat in comfort on the tour bus which was parked alongside the meeting place? But let's keep this in perspective - a lot of work has clearly gone into making this a good-value tour (loved the canoli!) and I really enjoyed seeing so many evocative, atmospheric locations. I would certainly recommend this tour to any fan of The Sopranos. |

| The tour is probably more for fans than those wanting a general interest excursion. For the former it's great to see the locations and to hear so many interesting snippets about the series and the actors. For hard-core fans it's a must-see if your are in New York |

| If copyright restrictions allow, adding a video component to the tour would make it much more enjoyable since a lot of time is spent on the bus. i.e., You could show a clip of Christopher being shot just prior to arriving at the real location, etc. |

| We were both amazed by the amount of knowledge our host had on the Sopranno's tour.
The "inside" information he was able to give on the show on how the show was produced was very interesting.
You think you know about Tony and his two families? Try the on board quiz with it's "appropriate prizes then see how much you know!
Highlight of the trip - a drink in Badda Bing a.k.a Satin Dolls. |

| It wasn't quite as exciting as we had hoped--would have liked to have seen clips of the show on the bus as on Sex and the City tour |

| The Sopranos Tour was excellent. Our tour guide was very friendly, had a great sense of humour and was very informative about not only the show but also the NY & NJ area. It was a great birthday present for my husband who is a big fan of the Sopranos. |

| I thought the tour guide was excellent and it is hard to say where you could make any changes.
Next time we come my wife wants to do the Sex in the city tour |
