On Sat. 11/10/2007 @ 1:40pm We (3) arrived at the designated bus p/u in times square. Supposedly the big blue bus broke down! We waited till 2:45pm and still no bus! I have a prosthedic right leg and a 1/2 of foot on the left. Needless to say, I CANNOT STAND FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME! It also was very cold and windy with no where to hide. My 2 sons and I left after waitng for over an hour. I would like a return on my tickets ($120.00) but I'll bet we never see a dime!. |

I would thoroughly recommend this trip not only to Sopranos officiandos, but also to any "rookies" who are relative strangers to the world of Tony and the gang. |
|
Thoroughly recommended for all Sopranos fans |

Having been a massive long term fan of The Sopranos, from afar in England, I just had to take this tour and thankfully it didn't disappoint.The tour was well structured with a very informative guide. It managed to cram in an awful lot of Sopranos scenery in the 4 hours and really managed to transpose the feeling of the areas that I've seen so many times on my tv set. The highlights had to be having a beer in The Bada Bang and sitting in the same booth as Tony and family do in Holstens diner where the final scene was shot. I already knew that Satriales had been knocked down, so wasn't too disappointed not to see it, also be aware that the Sopranos family home is too far away to visit. In between stops clips of the show are played on the coach's tv's with some trivia quizzes as well and it works very well. Overall this is a fantastic way to experience the sights of the show and I'll probably do it again when I go back to New York City. |

Enjoyable but a little too long |

I enjoyed it overall but the format could be better. you are taken to or past a series of locations and then eventually you are shown clips from the Sopranos which includes the location you have seen. It would be much better if this was reversed and you are shown the clips before driving past locations.
The best part was the stops at Satin Dolls and holstens.
The biggest disappointment was being shown an empty plot of land and being told "your 3 weeks too late, this is where satriales pork store was" |

Don't miss the Sopranos tour! |

If you're lucky, you'll get guide Gary, who we also had on the OnLocation tour. He's great!
It's not everyday you get to have a drink in the Bada Bing (aka Satin Dolls), meet the owner and his adorable bling-bedecked teacup Yorkie, and get a free Bada Bing thong. Not to mention the visit to Holsten's!!
Between stops, you can watch clips from the show, and listen to the theme song (love it!). In any case, it's a cool way to visit New Jersey.
Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!! |

The tour begins great with pictures with cast stars then is a big letdown. Too many insignificant sites on the tour. Unfortunately Satriales building has been bulldozed. Then the most important site Bada Bing doesn't have the sign that says BADA BING. And you can't even take pictures. People want to be able to take pictures and say "I was at the BADA BING." I could have just bought a bada bing t-shirt on the website and not go on a 5 hour tour. As a true Sopranos fan I was disappointed. |

Unmissable! |

A very surreal experience-particularly in the "bada-bing"!!-every Sopranos fan should go at least once in their life! |
|
Great way to see the locations! |

The tour was very fun. Trying to see all of these locations by yourself would be impossible.
My only recommendation is that the tour would show the episode clips pertaining to the location before we get to the physical locations, instead of after. |

Extremely Enjoyable Tour |

We had a wonderful time on the Soprano tour. It was exciting to be at the same locations where the shows were taped and seeing the clips on the bus made it all come together. It was great going into Holsten’s where the last show was taped (great onion rings) and into the Bada Bing. Not to worry ladies the Bada Bing is done in good taste. It was so cool to be able to see where Tony and his gang would sit at the Bada Big. Also thanks to Doug from Bada Bing. We started the day with rain but it cleared out by the afternoon. We got lost on our tour due to a new bus driver who was very nice and Gary our tour guide could not have been nicer about the whole thing. He tried his best to make things right and kept a positive attitude about the situation. We had nowhere else to be so we had no problem with the delay. Some people were upset because they had made other plans immediately after the tour but we thought that isn’t a good idea in general anyway to make back to back plans. We enjoyed getting lost because we got to see more of NJ and in fact when the driver took the GW Bridge back into the city (instead of the Tunnel) we enjoyed seeing the city as we drove down through Manhattan!!! We thought your tour was great and would recommend it any Soprano fan. We plan to attend another tour. |

Unfortunately the day we took the tour the regular bus driver was not available. I think he did an excellent job driving the bus in an unfamiliar area. The tour started 1/2 hour late. We were standing outside in the rain waiting for the bus. The tour guide was also a substitute and he did not know a lot about the show and kept asking us questions about the actors rather than giving us the information. The shows clips were a nice touch but were never shown at the time we visited the various sites. We were informed that one of the buildings was torn down only after we arrived at the site. I think the tour could be well done and was interested in seeing the various buildings. It would be better to sync the clips with the buildings--skip the walking tour--it wasted time and made the tour even longer. Some of the people on the bus expected to be back at 6 and had tickets for a show. |
