| Firstly, our guide on the tour was wonderful, charming and entertaining as well as being very knowledgable about the series, actors and behind scene stuff. The tour itself was great fun, from the sights pointed out to us whilst on the bus to the actual stops - the Bada Bing, the ice cream parlour used in the final scene (great onion rings by the way!), amongst others.
And of course, meeting 'Vito' at the beginning of the tour really set us up to have a truly memorable experience.
Highly recommended for any fans, die hard or not, of The Sopranos. |

| This was a very professional tour, packed with a good combination of bus trip, on-foot walks and location visits. Any Sopranos fan would be crazy to miss it! Even if you're not a follower of the show, you'll get to see locations in and around New Jersey which can be easily overlooked if you've only come to see Manhattan. This state has plenty of interesting areas on its own which are well worth visiting.
We were guided by a non-speaking extra from several episodes, who had plenty of insider gossip to share. This trip comes highly recommended.
Look, a whole review without one cheesy mafia-speak reference! I can't believe I resisted the urge. |

| The best way to see new jersey if you don't know your way around and have limited time. The tour was full of trivia and games, we had a great time! |

| As a huge Sopranos fan, I loved this tour. The weather was wild and stormy but that didn't detract from my enjoyment - the guide Marc was excellent and all the trivia etc made it a lot of fun. If you like the show - do the tour! |

| The tour was informative, and a lot of fun. We enjoyed seeing all of the locations, however, we felt that it would be better to show the video when you are at the location, or have just seen it, so that it is fresher in your head instead of waiting to show the video on the way home from the trip. |

| I booked this tour as part of a birthday present for my husband. He is great fan of the Sopranos and was absolutely thrilled. We found this a wonderful tour, very interesting and Gary our tour guide was so helpful and had a great knowledge of the sites. Initially thought that the tour would be long when its for 4hrs but the time flew its well worth doing. We both thorougly enjoyed every minute of it and would have no hesitation in recommending it. My husband said he would even do the tour again next time we visit New York.!!! |

| We enjoyed ourselves very much. Gary did a wonderful job at keeping everyone entertained. We actually gave him a new name "Tony". I think my friend Hilda really grew on him.
Keep up the good work it was worth it. |

| I am a Duth tourist, and me and my friend enjoyed the tour very much. After 6 seasons of Sopranos this was a very good ending, although I have started renting the first episodes to watch it all over again. This came in very handy for the tour, because lots of trivia questions are for the real fans!
The fun part is that you are making pictures of garbage dumps and old diners, but in your imagination Tony was there or you see Christopher coming of the stairs. The theme song and video clips make it even more real. Too bad Satriales is gone, but Bada Bing was fun!
So prepare for lots of questions and take lots of pictures! Our tour guide Gary did a good job! thanks Gary! |

| The tour guide I had (Steve(?) Mammoud I think...) was quite good at keeping the tour interesting, he has a lot of information on each of the stops and runs through an informative and at times humorous routine of trivia about the show and New Jersey while in between locations.
Too bad most of the locations were from small unmemorable scenes of the show. At least they remind you of those short scenes by playing it on the bus.
The big stops were ok though. I was expecting the management at the Satin Dolls to pressure us to spend some money, but that didn't happen, which was a nice surprise. The girls were nice too. Satriales was torn down so it was a big disappointment.
So to sum it up, good tour guide, poor locations. Go if you have the time, but don't make special arrangements. |
