We really liked the tour. The tour guide was very knowledgable since he had been on the Spoprano's a couple of times himself. We liked the fact he pointed out the errors in the series. In addition he was very interactive with everybody. |

The tour was tightly organised and focussed in some detail on a few specific scenes for the most part: it was great to see the real-life Bada Bing and some of the places from the opening titles, and a chance to pick up some memorabilia too! It would have been good to view the scenes from the show before we saw them in real life just to jog the memory. |

Great - a one off opportunity |

Really enjoyed our Sopranos tour - and are the envy of our friends when we tell them we actually had a drink in the world famous Bada Bing. Would definately recommend the tour to any Sopranos fan ! |

Fantastic Value for money |

Very suprised how much we got for so little Money Best 4+ hours in New York, Host 1st Class, would go on the same tour again without hesitation. |

It was a great experience, however I think that it would be more exciting if we got out to experience the locations (ie taking a photo out the front of Pizzaland instead of driving straight pass). |

Great Tour if youīre a fan of The Sopranos |

The overall rating is good. The places visited and the way they are exposed is very nice. I went with my wife and we had a great time, however, these are some things that I didnīt like:
- We were not allowed to take pictures inside the Bada Bing, when it is a milestone point of the tour.
- The guide was nice, but very picky with time schedules. When I asked if we could buy a bottle of water, her just said "not in the next 40 minutes". We were just in front of a convenience store, so I think he was rude.
- We were told AFTER LEAVING THE SATIN DOLLS - BADA BING that we were going to be dropped in front of the HBO store in manhattan. They should have said that before, so you don't spend your money on expensive and not original souvenirs at the bing. You can find much better things, mugs and t-shirts at the hbo store than at the satin dolls - bing.
- We didnīt make a stop in front of the pizzaland, even if the promo picture shows people standing in front of it and taking some photos NOT FROM THE BUS.
- They show you some scenes of the show after visiting the locations, however, the TV at the bus is so small that I doubt the people in the back rows could see anything. The organizers should take care of this and place a bigger TV on the bus if they plan to use it that much.
However, the tour was nice, we saw many locations and the guide knew a lot of inside information that made the 4 hours more interesting.
Nice way to see Jersey. |

Did the tour in april 2008 with Marc as the guide. The tour was exellent, especially the commentary from Marc who worked as an extra on 13 episodes. Great to get out to Jersey which as a tourist you dont usually get to. !00% recomended to any Sopranos fan.

Great tour, guide very good however we were dissapointed for the following reasons:
1. Our brochure for the Sopranos Tour stated that one of the highlights would be Satriales Pork Store, however once on the tour we were informed that Satriales had been demolished last year. This was very misleading and bitterly dissapointing as it is a major drawcard for Sopranos' fans. I would strongly recommend and advise (as an attorney) that your brochures are updated to accurately reflect this.
2. At the commencement of the tour we were informed that a cast member of the Sopranos was "three cars back" from the bus and we were invited to go and meet him. It turned out that the cast member was Vito Spatafor, played by Joe Gannascoli. We thought this was quite strange?? Why is Vito not an official part of the tour? Why is he not invited on the bus, to provide special comments etc? I would have paid an extra $20 each for that experience. |

This is a great tour for fans and also a great way to see Jersey. The host Marc Baron was knowledgeable, funny and personable and the sites visited fantastic. We even got to meet Vito!
Take some cash for souvenirs and a drink at the Bada Bing. Sit back and enjoy the ride. I have written a full description of the tour for friends and family (too detailed - gives away too much to put here) but in short, I highly recommend this tour. Some of the locations may seem non descript when you are looking at them but when you view the footage (screened on the bus throughout the tour), it really brings them to life and is a thrill. |
