| If you are a true Soprano fan, you must take this tour! Vito was at the pick up location to meet people and sell his book and shirts, pictures and sign autographs. That was just the beginning. I can go on and on, but it is for sure the best thing for any Soprano fan. GO!!!! |

| The tour bus was right on time in an easily accessible location on 7th and 39th. Before boarding, meeting Vito was a surprise and a pleasure and the trip continued in the same vein for the next 4 hours. The guide was excellent - amusing and with an encyclopedic knowledge of the show. Seeing so many Sopranos locations was excellent and I'm looking forward to identifying them as I watch re-runs. Highlight had to be Satin Dolls - aka The Bada Bing - I assumed that this would be a fairly sterile film set but to see it exactly as it appears in the show - glitzy and seedy with the accompanying pole dancers was amazing. It was great to see different parts of New Jersey too. Return trip to Manhattan was right on time and watching clips of the show was great - maybe could have done with more of those eg personal favourites of the guide not necessarily linked to the locations we'd been to. Overall though - excellent value and a great trip.

| Right from the beginning when we met "Vito Spattafore" and throughout the tour, this was just fun. This was just one day of a week I spent in New Jersey, so when I got home and started watching my Soprano's DVDs, I was laughing as I recognized a lot of the sites from either the tour or because of my visit. It was a shame that we couldn't at least drive by the Soprano residence and that Satriales was opportunistically sold off brick by brick, but despite this, I'd still very much recommend this tour to any Sopranos fan.

| Great to see so many places that feature on the show. Excellent tour guide. Sopranos clips shown on tvs on the coach that related to the sites visited. Trivia quizzes and prizes en-route. Very enjoyable morning.
Met actor who played 'Vito' before the trip but I have to say that he was fairly unpleasant and dis-interested, even when you were spending money on the over-priced souvenirs he was peddling from the back of his Mercedes SUV. It was clear that this was no meet and greet session - merely a money spinning scheme for the actor. Bit of a fall from grace really. Maybe he was in character??
In all though, my wife and I really really enjoyed the trip and would thoroughly recommend it to any Sopranos fan!! |

| The tour was very enjoyable. The guide was very clear and made the journeys between locations entertaining. The Sopranos tour is a "must" for fans of the show. There was even time for a beer in the Bada Bing! Thanks! |

| The tour was fantastic. I got to see a lot of sites which were part of Sopranos. This tour gives you the feeling which you were almost part of Sopranos itself. The tour guide was very vice and very enthusiastic as he keep us on our feet with Sopranos information and Trivia. I would highly recommend it to anyone. The trivia questions which were asked were not too hard, but not not too easy either. |

| This is a really long tour of a particularly uninteresting and dirty part of New Jersey. I
would not recommend unless you are a hardcore fan of the show. The traffic can also
be a problem. |
