| 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! |

It does the job, but nothing special

| 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. |

| Being a big fan from Australia, I took the opportunity to do the tour while travelling the US and was very pleased that I did. The price, format, transport and tour-guide were all top rate. The tour built up from starting with smaller sites and accompanying corresponding snippets from the series and finished with a crescendo of the 'last supper' diner location and 'Bada Bing'. It was an absolute pleasure to take part in such a momentous occasion for me which I won't forget in a hurry! |

| This was a fantastic afternoon, the guide was enthusiatic and new his product. t was great to understand how the show was filmed and not just see the sites.
Was dissapointed that Satrieles was closed down and demolished as this is such a big part of the show.
The diner was a great experience, the onion rings was a lovely touch (although not the best in the world!).
Will recommend this to my friends and family.
Thank you

| The tour guide was excellent. Not many sites visited. Just watched on the bus. Too bad we could not have visited more sites rather than look at from the bus. But again, the tour guide was awesome. |

| Our experience on the Sopranos tour was fantastic. We learned so many new things about the show and cast. Fav part was sitting in the booth and eating some onion rings, as in the last scene ever. Too cool.
Will definitely be recommending this tour to anyone who is an avid fan of the show.
Tour guide was amazing. |

| The tour guide knows everything about the Sopranos. It's a long 4-hour tour, all in NJ, but if you know the Sopranos, you might win one of the many trivia prize contests. Lots of information about how the show is produced, some bloopers, the Soprano Family tree, etc. A must for Soprano fans. |

| Our guide on this tour Marc was to much into details and into himselve, this was not by far as entertaining as the Sex and the City tour with Tracey, which we did the day before. Real compliments for Tracey , she gave good and funny information. Just as you would expect on a tour like this. |
