| The tour guide Mark was amazing, interesting and very knwledgeable about the Sopranos. He kept the group going by throwing trivia questions that stumped everyone and had everyone thinking.
It length of time the tour took was perfect...not too long and not too short. The cannolis were so good and Bada Bing was the best part. My boyfriend and I loved it. He is a Sopranos freak. I am not, but I enjoyed it just as much as he did.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is a Sopranos freak and for those who are not as well. It is definitely a great experience. |

| Despite being a new Sopranos fan, just began watching this season, the combination of the video clips, intimate stories, trivia (complete with prizes!) and the first-hand ability to see where the locations, was exciting.
The bus was comfortable and the frequent breaks (when we could take pictures and we learned more about the location) made this 4-hour tour FLY by!
The tour guide, from The Sopranos, spoke clearly and was very excited to share his knowledge.
This was the perfect birthday/graduation gift for my boyfriend - it was something we bpth enjoyed and will treasure the memories!
THANKS! |

| Extremely well organised tour. Very informative with an awesome guide (Marc Baron). Four hours of bliss. I bet that even non-Sopranos fans would even get hooked. The cannolis at the end were a classy touch to an already unique experience. Please continue with all the outstanding work.

| It was a very good tour. The guide provided good information, especially personal facts about the cast. The cannoli stop was a nice surprise. The videos were very interesting. A good time was had by all. |

| For true Sopranos fans, this tour should be required! The tour guide was terrific, providing great facts about the show, and his personal experience with shooting the show added a lot to the experience. The sites visited were good, and the video that accompanied the locations was great, so that you could see on screen what you just saw in person. Definitely worth the money! |

| An afternoon of fun from beginning to end! Started by meeting "Vito" from the Soprano's and then off on our tour. Our guide, an active actor was informative and friendly. He was well versed in behind the scenes antecdotes about the Soprano's |

Mother/Daughter weekend in NYC

| My mother, my cousin and my aunt were visiting NYC for a mother/daughter birthday weekend and we all enjoyed the Sopranos tour very much. We were running late to make the bus (times sqaure traffic is very slow moving at 1:45 pm on saturday) and unhappy to have missed the celebrity photo opportunity and signed photo (but extemely relieved that the bus had not left without us). We had hoped to have purchased a signed photo later from the tour guide or at the Badda Bing - but our chance was gone. The tour guide was charming and informative. My only complaint would be that the A/C on the bus was not working well on a hot sticky day. Loved the cannolis... would have loved a cold beverage with them, and some wet ones to clean our hands. Overall it was a fun and memorable experience that I would recommend to any fan of the show. |

Good but some disappointments

| The tour is good and the tour guide very informative with fun quizzes on the way. The free canoli is lovely - best we have tasted.
The disappointments are that Satriales and Bada Bing club are not signed as such - the pork store is just like a derelict shop - no distinguishing marks and the Bada Bing club (although brilliant inside - but no photos allowed annoyingly) is called Satin Dolls and so the two main photo opportunities you go for (as pictorially advertised on the side of the tour bus and other literature) are not actually there. This may be different during filming season I guess - maybe check before booking.
We got to meet Vito off the show which was good - he will let you take a picture but you do feel obliged to buy a photo from him for $20 so take extra cash. Also merchandise available from a surly guy in the Satin Dolls club which is overpriced but ok quality.

| My husband and I were about the 4th couple to arrive; however by the time the bus arrived (it was 20 minutes late), everyone else pushed in front of us and we actually ended up sitting in the very last seat of the bus - right next to the bathroom. As the bus heated up from being stuck in traffic, the heat came right up through to the bathroom making the deodorizer terribly smelly. Some people were breathing into their purses. I chose to breathe through my mouth most of the time.
We did enjoy the tour, the leader was very knowledgeable and we learned some new information.
But at the end of the tour when some of the people got off the bus and we were finally able to move up to the front third of the bus---wow, what a difference. You could see so much better -- and I'll bet some of us in the rear might have been able to respond to some of the questions. As it was, only the first third of the bus were the ones who won the prizes.
Perhaps after each time we departed the bus it would have been nice to rotate seating.
Sign me, Enjoyable but breathing through mouth only. |
