Definitely enjoyed my afternoon reliving scenes from the Sopranos show and exploring parts of Jersey I wouldn't have otherwise seen. Tour guide was great at giving inside information about the cast members and scene bloopers which I found the most interesting. As a cast member himself (albeit one of the lesser known ones), he provided great anecdotes that gave the tour a nice behind the scenes feel. He also kept the tour fun and interactive by throwing out trivia questions and prizes throughout the day. If you're not a big Sopranos fan it can still be a great experience as long as you've seen a few episodes of the show. If you haven't seen any episodes, don't go. Might get boring after a few hours. Highlights of the tour included stopping for some authentic Italian cannolis (mmm) and of course ended by going into the original Bada Bing dance bar (with live girls included). Overall, a fun afternoon. Some suggestions would be to be sure you eat beforehand (4 hour tour becomes hard to manage on an empty stomach) and bring a jacket (A.C. on the bus is freezing). |

the soprano experience is an enjoyable experience even as like me knowledge of the series is not particularly vast. The tour guide from the outset is enthusiastic and is constantly informative in a non oppressive manner.The highlight from a mans point of view is the visit to Bada Bings and is enjoyable for the eye candy alone as well as seeing it in a working enviroment.
Some of the set destinations are somewhat disappointing as they are obviously not dressed for the visit and on your return home looking at the photographs can be a little disappointing in recalling exactly what they are. Maybe a visit to the studio set would be a recommendation worth looking at.
In general it is an enjoyable 4 hours which include s the obligatory onboard quiz with some fantastic prizes well not quite. |

We all loved the Sopranos Tour. The bus was very comfortable with television screens. Tour guide was the best, very informative, and has acted in the show. Took us to great location areas not only explaining how shot was set up, but also provided film clips on television inside the bus. We were also each given the most delicious tasting cannoli from an Italian Bakery in New Jersey. The cannoli was even better than the ones I have had in North Beach in San Francisco. A must tour
for anyone who has ever seen the Sopranos. |

must see for the Soprano enthusiast!!! |

The tour guide was very knowledgable and very informative. The tour takes you to many familiar sites and points of interest, they tie in the places with video clips that jog your memory. It is nice to be at the actul places and learn some of the behind the scene information, I srongly recomend to all fans , and the cannolis were great !! |

I enjoyed the tour very much. The only problem was that the batrhoom had overflowed 3/4 through our trip and the smell of urine throught the bus made everyone sick. Being unable to open windows didn't help the matter either.
Everyone was grateful to get off at certain stops to breath. Without the stops there would have been vomiting I assure you.
The tour guide, though, was very informative and funny. He did a great job.

We really enjoyed the tour but thought that four hours was too long. A lot of the parking lots, backyards, etc were from obscure scenes that only one person on the bus remembered. We liked the stop in Kearny and seeing Pizzaland, etc. The tour guide was very knowledgable and gave us a lot of great info about the show. Everyone in our group agreed that going inside the bada bing was unneccessary and it seemed to make a lot of the older people in the crowd uncomfortable. The merchandise could be sold on the bus instead and we could just drive by the Bing. We thought the tour could easily be reduced to 3 hours, especially since it started and ended late. Since we got back 1/2 hour late, that put us in a rush to be on time for our evening plans. Overall, great and interesting tour - worth the $40. Thank you. |

I think this tour covered plenty of Sopranos trivia and scenes, the locations were backed up with clips from the shows. The guide was onto it as well. You get a canoli as well! Highlight definitely the Bing. Pretty good value for mine. |

I went on The Sopranos Tour with my wife last year and loved it so much that I went on it again, this time with my 23 year old son, who, like me, is a huge fan of the show. I'm pleased to say that not only did I thoroughly enjoy it once again, but my son thought it lived up to the hype I'd given it beforehand. Once again a well thought out and presented tour. As my son said, he found out so much more about this gangster drama. Special mention to our tour guide Marc, an actor on the show, who sures knows his 'Sopranos' stuff! |
