Pros: Get to see a lot of sights from the Sopranos as well as other interesting points around NJ. Make sure to bring a camera as there are many great photo opportunities along this tour. Tour guide was very informative and gave good insight into the TV production industry. You even get to hop on and off the bus at some points to get an up close view of some of the locales. The cannoli and the stop at the 'Bada Bing' were very cool.
Cons: Was under the impression that the tour guide was an actor that was in a few episodes of The Sopranos. Ours was in Law and Order a couple times but it would have been nice if it were someone from The Sopranos. The bus has a video system and the clips shown have to be shown in better order to highlight some of the locales better. They should also have the opportunity to buy some goods from the bakery stop.

I would suggest anyone that loves the show to take this tour. Casual fans might find it boring, but if you love the show, you will love this tour. The guide is great, he did a wonderful job. The trivia was alot of fun, especially since I won 4 prizes, including the grand prize... another tour with this company for 2 people!! Trust me, take this tour and you wont regret it! We did the tour in the rain, it was still awesome! Check out the pix of our trip on www.yokendog.com after 5/15/05. |

I strongly recommend to every Soprano fan to take this tour. The guide is very amusing and informative, the locations are surprising ("this REALLY exsists?") in their insignificance and , and the tour has some nice gifts and surprises, so 4 hours passes too quickly. |

We enjoyed the tour. Saw some key locals. What was kind of irritating was occasionally when the guide would point out a location we'd be going by at a good rate of speed. Wouldn't have taken much to have the bus slow down for a few of the "drive by" locals.
Tour guide was great. John I believe his name was. Had knowledge that wasn't obviously scripted and had a great sense of humor. Would have liked to see more sites........ downtown Newark was closed for bridge work, but I know that would extend the length of the tour.
Reccomendations:
The only local we wern't going to see that was mentioned was Tony's house. Some of the fill time riding between sites would be to mention other locals that aren't on the tour and tell where they were realative to the current location.
Piers, graveyard, Livia's house, ect..... I could go on but you get the point. As you know people travel from all over the world to see this. (we came from San Francisco) and we're all Soprano's fans or we wouldn't be on the tour.
Thanks

I found it to be very entertaining. I would have liked to have been able to buy something from the bakery where we got the canole's. I'm sure they would have appreciated the business.
Otherwise, I recommend it to true Soprano's fans. |

The tour guide was great. I learned a lot about the series and the actors. I was think ing while on the tour that if we could see a short video of each scene we visited prior to being there it would be more meaningful. We did see video after the tour was over and the guide explained why it came at the end. I still think some of the scenes could have been shown proior to visiting.
Overall, I really liked the tour and would recommend it to any Soprano's fan. |

The tour guide was very knowledgable and accommodating. He gave us some very good trivia and alot of things that we didn't realize were flukes in the taping of the show, which proved to be very interesting.
We enjoyed having our pictures taken with the Soprano's star. We liked being able to get off the bus and take pictures.
Very well organized and presented. |

Disappointed not to see Soprano's Family Homes BUT

Understood why we could not go in the Soprano's Family Homes, but wished we could have done a drive by at least.
On the other hand I found our Group Tour Guide very articulate. Very Interesting with his information on New Jersey as well as his knowledge of the Soprano's and the actors. It made the trip seem to fly by with his information and trivia games. With regard to the Trivia Games I thought the prizes were the best. The only thing that topped the prizes was our delicious cannoli for free on the tour.
Definitely worth doing at least once! |
