Easy departure and arrival location - left on time and a little late on the return due to traffic.
Commentator was terrific and made the whole experience very enjoyable. He knew his stuff and his "insider" acting experience helped immensely. He made the 4 hour journey go by very quickly - he was informative - entertaining - and was well balanced between talking and being quiet.
My only negative comment is that the transportation left a lot to be desired - the A/C was useless and the general repair was sub-standard.
Two words of advice for those on the tour:
(a) Bring refreshments/water since there is no stop until almost hour three where you can get anything.
(b) Ba-da-Bing is a "Gentlemen's Club" so you will see some activities that make some feel uncomfortable. In particular, if you are having a drink at the bar - be prepared for the girls to tell you they are still working and be prepared to give them a "tip" for them to move on.
Overall though - a great day out and well presented by the commentator.
Thanks

Myself and my partner really enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to all. I enjoy the Sopranos although I would not consider myself to be an avid fan, but the tour has heightened my enjoyment.
The tour guide was excellent.

Too Much Detail

Although the tour was interesting, I don't believe it was necessary to go to each and every location where the Sopranos was filmed. The tour could have been substantially shorter if it focused on the primary locations only.
I'm not sure why the tour guide chose to focus on all the errors in the series, quite honestly I found that a bit annoying. It was great meeting one of the actors and the cannoli was fantastic.
All in all it was a great experience, but it could be improved upon. |

I would recommend this to serious fans of the show only, if you are only a casual fan, you may not have a good time on this. |

This was a fabulous tour!! I felt as though I was going to visit Carmela & Tony. There was so much detail and lots of information that I missed during the series. The tour leader was very knowledgeable. The four hours went by quickly and the trivia questions sharpened my experience of the series. The cannolis were an excellent touch. SO MUCH FUN, not to be missed. |

Guide was excellent at presenting material and behind the scenes knowledge. Site visits followed by clips allowed for understanding and placement of scenes. |

Mark made the entire tour a complete blast. He was a wonderful guide who provided a deep well of information re; the show. He truly made the tour 4 hours of continuous fun. What a pleasure it was to be a part of! To Sopranos viewers, I would highly recommend taking this tour. Tour rated by Kevins wife Andrea. :-) Kevin wasnt on the tour w/us. |

The tour was both informative and hugely enjoyable. The guide was an actor who had been in the show and clearly knew his stuff. His patter was very amusing and he kept it interesting with questions and answers (including some prizes!). I don't know if I was more impressed by a visit to the Bada Bing or by my first taste of Cannoli. |

This was a great tour for all Sopranos lovers! It was great to see the many locations where the show was filmed. The tour guide really made the trip worth while because he had an extensive knowledge of the show, the characters and the actors. He was involved in 13 episodes of The Sopranos. The Sopranos trivia questions were great at testing your knowledge of the show and great fun! They even gave out prizes, some of which were hilarious. Highlights were seeing Satriale's before it is gone....it's being torn down at this time. Other highlights were seeing sights from the opening credits, learning how they filmed certain scenes, and of course... seeing the Bada Bing/Satin Dolls club. The "icing on the cake" was when the tour provided a homemade, authentic Cannoli from a bakery in Lyndhurst, NJ to everyone on the bus. We had a great time, learned a lot and would recommend this tour to all Sopranos fans. |
