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! |

Although we were off to a slow start (35 minutes late, ) the Sopranos tour was a barrage of information. I consider myself a huge Sopranos fan and I still learned more on the tour than the entire six seasons of the show because of our tour guide Mark. He was the perfect tour guide for this tour. It was pretty cool to walk around and see where the cast of the Sopranos tape and hang out on the show. If you are a big fan (or even a so-so fan), I would highly recommend this tour. By the way I took 60 pictures and the cannolis were the best I ever had. |

If you have more than a passing interest in the Sopranos then I would thoroughly recommend this tour. The tour guide was excellent; he got everyone involved and provided loads of facts, anecdotes etc. You didn't feel like he was just going through the motions like on some tours. He obviously loves the show.
Was great to see some of the locations, especially the Bada Bing! |

Greatly recommended. |

Our tour guide, Marc Baron, was full of a lot of information that our family was unaware of. However, the tour was a half hour late starting because the sound on the television didn't work. The bus driver, Kevin, and tour guide, Marc Baron, tried to get the television to work without any success. They telephoned the office to say that they were trying to get another bus to replace the bus that we were already on, which was sitting on the side of the street, one half block from where we left. Finally, my neice asked if the television was really that important and suggested that we take the tour without use of the televsion. After a vote was taken of the guests on the bus, it was decided to continue the tour without the television. Who knows how long we would have sat there waiting for another bus.
Marc Baron said that we would somehow be reimbursed from the company by possibly taking another tour free of charge. As of today, we haven't heard anything regarding his suggestion.
Please be advised that about half way through the tour the bus driver was able to get the sound working on the television.
The fresh cannolis from Lyndhurst Pastry Shop were out of this world. Perhaps people would have liked to have gotten off the bus to purchase them.
At Pizzaland we understand that people ask them to fed-ex them a pizza. Would it have been possible to also stop there to have a taste of the pizza.
When we stopped at Satin Dolls, aka Bada Bing Club, we were advised that we would be going through the back door and that there would be a pool table on the left side when we entered the club with souvenirs available for anyone wishing to purchase any. I bought a shot glass and was charged $10.00. However, when my husband and I went to leave the club, we noticed a showcase at the front entrance and shot glasses were marked $6.00. Our tour guide informed us that we weren't being charged an admission charge to enter the club since we were on the tour, but in a way he did charge us an admission charge by overcharging us and how many other people for souvenirs that they bought.

I found this tour to be great fun...Mark, the tour guide, does a great job of bringing to life the highlights of the Sopranos activities in the New Jersey area...the guests on the tour are encouraged to get involved with trivia questions about the show, and gifts are even given away as prizes for who gets them right. I'ts a real buzz being right there where some of the scenes from the show have been filmed...best of all you get to have a beer at the Bada-Bing!...Great fun! Thoroughly enjoyable. |
