| My fiancee has been a huge fan of the show since the beginning and I have recently become one. We purchased the first four seasons and have been watching them up until the tour so I would know the background and for him to watch them again.
I should note though that he didn't know why I was on such a Sopranos kick. The Zerve OnLocation tour was a surprise for him! We planned on being in New York, so I booked the tour knowing that he would loooove it!
When we arrived and checked in with Marc, he told us we could meet one of the cast members! I'd seen on the website that "Vito" showed up when he could, so it was a total bonus that he could make it that day! What a great guy! It was very exiting to meet him and get picures and buy the cookbook, which I am so excited to put to use!!
Marc was such an awesome tour guide! Obviously, very knowledgeable about the show since he's had some appearances! We had a full bus and he was fun with the trivia and canoli!! ;) The only thing is I wish I had been prepared with some more questions! I thought of a laundry list after the tour was over and wished that I would have asked him! He did ask several times if anyone had any questions, and I did ask a few as did other members of the tour, but there's always more I guess!
He was also great at getting the bus driver to slow down so that we could all get some really great pics of the sites!
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is a Sopranos fan, even to someone who has seen the show a few times and is interested in stuff like this....seeing where things are made and how they're made. Marc gave not only info on the show but vocab about the production of tv shows/movies as well!!
Going into the Bada Bing was even fun for the ladies!!! That merchandise was a little pricy, but that didn't stop us from buying it!!! ;)
GREAT TOUR FOR A GREAT PRICE AND TONS OF FUN!!! ;)
Thanks a bunch Zerv and Marc for making it a very fun experience.

| My mate enjoyed the tour as he is fan of the Sopranos - this was a xmas gift to him. For me, it did not mean much as not familiar with characters or sites. The guide was very well informed and did try to make it interesting. I definitely think the fans enjoyed it more than me. |

| I started out thinking it would be a rip off, but found out I got real good deal for the money ! It was really fun, specially because it was raining and there wasn´t anything else to do. I give 2 thumbs up! |

| Our tour guide was great - gave us a lot of insider knowledge on the show. Our only complaint is that no one mentioned the Bada Bing is a working strip club (although this may be more of an incentive for some). Fortunately for us, it wasn't too sleazy since the girls had to keep their tops on. Great tour overall - recommend for any Sopranos fan. |

| The tour was informative. It would be more informative if you had people who could explain more of the movie shoots of the different scenes. Also maybe an actor or two could show up to add some spice to the tour. Overall it was a good tour. |

| Marc Beron was our guide and he made the trip well worth it. He was so knowledgeable of anything to do with the show, played trivia games and showed film clips throughout the tour. The entire trip was fun and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the show. My only regret was that my husband and I had to come to New York only to go back to New Jersey (where we came from) to see the sites. I never realized so much of the show took place here in New Jersey.
question: MARC STOPPED AT A PASTRY SHOP AND BOUGHT GONOLES (NOT SURE OF SPELLING) FOR EVERYONE ON THE BUS - PLEASE TRY TO GET ME THE NAME OF THE PASTRY SHOP - THEY WERE THE BEST EVER!

| If you are a fan of the Sopranos that the tour is an excellent idea. you not only get to see the sites but also get to hear inside info as to production and filiming. The only downfall was that the bus driver drove a little too fast by some of the sites and I wasnt able to get pictures, and if I did then they were blurry. |

| Great tour, but a little bit of a 'take' to meet Vito and then after paying to go on the tour, have Vito selling autographs out of the boot of his Mercedes! I know people have to make a $, but a little low class this and makes the tour feel like you are getting 'shaken down'
Maybe increase the price of the tour and not have Vito accepting $20 bills at the back of the bus. Is he declaring this? |
