I enjoyed the tour and it's content. On Sunday the 14th of August, we had a few glitches; the first bus was "unable" to go to Jersey. As a result, we had a delay.
It rained which is not your fault, but it did put a damper on it, pardon the pun.
Other wise the guide was excellent, and I enjoyed it. |

Marc Baron and Zerve have come up with the definitive tour/background history to the hit HBO TV series The Sopranos.
Baron was singing like a canary on Sunday afternoon as he spilled the beans on Tony, Christopher, Pussy et al.Let's hope he's booked a slot in the witness relocation program after exposing all there is to know about the Sopranos and I mean all...bloopers included.
Show me a tour guide who knows his subject like Baron and I'll show my **** in Walmart's window!
All this and canoli too!

The sopranos tour was excellent not so much for the locations spots we saw as the tour guide we had with us. He was a very interesting character and had lots of funny stories and quips. The locations were interesting but I really went on the tour because it was a good way to see a little of New Jersey when time is limited. |

a fantastic way to spend an afternoon |

it was scorching hot the August weekend my husband and I came to NYC for my birthday, we wanted to do and see as much as possible in the short itme we were there, on our last day there we were tossed between the sopranos tour and a yankee game, well considering the heat and the fact that we both are sopranos freaks we decided this was deffinatly the way to go, all I can say is GREAT CHOICE!! 1st off the bus had AC 2nd it started raining and the game was delayed 3rd and most important was the excellent tour, a must for any die hard sopranos fan.. the tour guid was witty and had beyond extensive knowlege of the show/cast, the trivia questions and prizes were allot of fun, the italian mob music playing in the background was a great touch, the stops and locations were allot of fun it felt like you were right there in an episode, and the canolli was a great touch, ending it at the bada bing was a great touch although I personaly felt a bit uncomfrotable in a stripper bar, we had the option of waiting in the air conditioned bus for the rest of the group..all and all id say its a must do for a trip to NJ/NYC its not to be missed!!! |

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Guests were given specifics about the various filming locations and characters of the show. The extremely knowledgable tour guide (and extra from the show) asked trivia questions and provided insight into the real lives of the actors. The cannolis were awesome! A must do for any Sopranos fan while visiting NYC! |

If you are avid follower of the Sopranos you will love this tour. The tour guide was very informative and had a good personality he made it lots of fun. He quizzed the people on the tour about the show, even if you watched it all the time you wouldn't know most of the answers.
I would have like to go in more places, but most of the tour spots are only filmed from the outside. I would also like to have been there when they were filming so you could have seen some of the actors and taken pictures of them.
The canolis were delicious!
My husband and I had a good time.
The only downfall was, we are from NJ we had to go to NY to pick up the bus to go back to NJ for the tour. It was time consuming. |

WE CAME ALL THE WAY FROM CALIFORNIA FOR THIS? IT WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING! WHEN WE BOOKED, WE WERE TOLD THE TOUR BUS WAS AIR-CONDITIONED, & HAD A BATHROOM ON BOARD. WELL NO BATHROOM AND THE A/C BARELY WORKED. IT'S AUG IN NY FOR GODS SAKE! AND WE HAD TO HOLD OUR BLADDERS FOR LIKE 3 HOURS! THERE WAS ALSO A FEW CHILDREN ON THE TOUR WHICH I THOUGHT WAS INAPPROPRIATE DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE SHOW. WHEN WE BOOKED WE WERE TOLD THAT WE WOULD MEET A MEMBER FROM THE SHOW. LIE! THE ONLY FAMOUS PERSON WE MET WAS THE GUY OWNS THE BADA-BING(SATIN DOLLS). BIG DEAL!!! AND THEN WE WERE PRESSURED TO BUY BADA BING MERCHANDISE FROM HIM. ALSO, THE TOUR GUIDE WAS A JERK! HE WAS SOME D-LIST ACTOR WHO HAS BEEN A EXTRA IN A FEW FILMS. PLUS HE WASNT EVEN ITALIAN. HE WAS WAY COCKY! DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS DUMB TOUR! IF WE GOT TO SEE TONY'S HOUSE OR TAKE A BEHIND THE SCEENS AT SILVER CUP STUDIOS, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WELL WORTH IT. BUT, DONT WASTE A NICKEL ON THIS TOUR! |

Wish we had the complete package |

We were put on a bus with no video or audio system. We were told that we would be switching buses for the complete tour, but well, that didn't happen. I guess it wouldn't have felt like such a loss if we weren't told about it.
The tour guide was entertaining, full of good information, and well, the canoli.....the best we have ever had......thanks! |

Lots of fun! |

We did some great stuff such as trivia games & of course visiting great scene sites. We learned a lot about the cast & even some extras were pointed out to us, like a motel on Tonnele Ave in Jersey City that was used for a scene in Midnight Cowboy. However, the Sopranos home in North Caldwell was off limits because of the distance away, and our bus had not toilet facilities (hard for a 4-hour tour!) and the CD player wasn't working so we had no background music. I also wish there were more trivia questions with better prizes. The prizes were mostly gag gifts, and I feel that I am so knowledgeable about the show that I deserve better rewards. Also, I would have liked to have spent more time t the Bada-Bing (Satin Dolls). |
