| For genuine Sopranos fans this was a great trip. It is good to go to the sites and, as part of the coach journey, trivia and quizzes fill the time between sites. For UK visitors tell the guide not to give away anything about series 5. The inside information was very interesting although too much on bloopers - we don't care about geographical irregularities - don't spoil the image. Big bonus was going to a recommended cast member's Italian restaurant that evening in Little Italy - excellent quality. Only disappointment was that the Bada Bing was closed on our day and we had taken a big merchandise order to bring back to friends in Scotland. I believe this was unusual and it is normally open. All in all this is a must do for true fans and is really good value for money.

| The tour gave a fascinating insight into the making and production of the Sopranos television series. It also gave a background on each of the main actors which I found very interesting. It was also a very interactive tour which made it quite unique. |

| It was very enjoyable. Busses were on time. The only problem we found is that we put on the second of two busses with a tour guide who did not know many true facts about the area or the Sopranos. He was wrong several times and his personality did not repesent one of friendliness. We took the other bus back to the city (bus #1) and had a great time with the tour guide on that ride. |

| It was a good tour especially meeting Vito . The cannoli was great and was given about the time we were getting hungry.
What would be nice is to have a cooler under the bus with soft drinks and water so when we get down off of the bus we have something cold to drink while we are visiting the locations.
Also, it would have been nice to see the set in Queens. |

| Interesting sites and information. My girlfriend and I are
die-hard Soprano fans. The tidbits of information made us feel that much stronger about the characters. The Bada-Bing was lots of fun, also. Mark are tour guide was great. He's a star, in his own right. Enjoyed the upclose photo session with "Vito". We had a fabulous time and would recommend it to everyone who's watch atleast one episode of the Sopranos. |

| Our tour guide, Mark, was excellent. He turned out to be very nowledgeable about the series and had lots of fun trivia to tell about the show. Also, he told many interesting anecdotes about the world of acting and showbusiness. His upbeat demeanor and delivery turned the tour into a good, and at times very funny, experience. As becomes an actor, Mark managed to captivate his audience, which is no small feat on a four hour tour.
However, it would be better if one could get off at one or two other locations. Most notably, Pizza Land. For altough this might be no more than a little dinky pizza parlor — and one sees just a short glimpse of the place during the opening credits — it is very recognizable for most viewers of the Soprano's. And its dimminutive appearance is therefore all the more fun. So, find a parking spot nearby, for any Soprano fan would like to tell his friends he had a slice at Pizza Land (whatever the quality). It would make a good addition to the excellent cannoli!
Besides the many locations, taking a tour through the Meadowlands of New Jersey is like driving through the furthest reaches of Tony Soprano's mind — not always pretty, sometimes downright barren, but nontheless fascinating. A place few would visit on their own, short of taking the wrong exit on the Pulaski Skyway. Or in life — for that matter. A good way to spend the afternoon for any true Soprano-fan.
Sincerely,
Henri de By. |

| The activity was interesting; and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He made the tour quite enjoyable. The cannoli was a real treat as was the visit to the Bada Bing. We would have liked to have seen Tony Soprano's house as well as his mother's house. Overall, the tour was quite good. |
