| The rain didn't spoil our enjoyment of the locations, and their description by the guide. But the bus needs better air conditioning - the windows fogged up very quickly.
The tour gave a good flavour of eastern New Jersey. My wife had not been to Jersey before, so it was a real eye-opener. A map would have been helpful.
The guide kept everyone involved through trivia questions and stories. This was very well done.
We felt that the Satin Dolls ("Bada Bing") visit really showed the squalor from which the mob makes its money, and how it exploits weak and gullible people. The real Satin Dolls doesn't even have a changing room for the dancers - they use the ladies' restroom. Not quite I think the impression the visit was intended to give. |

Excellent Tour!

| Not being an avid soprano's viewer, it was enlighting to see and hear about the
show and its connections to new jersey. It was nice to see the live site and then
see them in the show's episodes.
I learned alot about the stars of the and their characters. when the new season
starts, i will be more informed of the characters and relate to the tour.
thank you. |

| I purchased tickets for the tour as a gift for my 18 yr old brother. My parents and I also went on the tour. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgable and gave lots of interesting background info about filming as well as bios on the actors. It was fun to get pictures of the different filmed sites and getting cannolis was an extra special treat. I think my father enjoyed the Bada Bing club the best- haha. My only suggestion would be to try and play the clips before we see the actual site. Also, is there any way to get bigger tv screens on a bus? Just a minor detail. We all had a great time and have already recommended it to friends. THANKS! Jennifer from NJ |

| My husband and I are big Soprano fans and were really looking forward to our tour. The weather was horrible which was no one's fault but we were unable to see out of the bus windows because of the steam that built up on the inside of the bus. Pictures were almost impossible to take due to this and the fact that we mostly whizzed by specific locations. The stop at the "Bada Bing" where we thought we were going to be able to pick up some t-shirts also turned out to be a drag. We paid $45.00 for a baseball hat and a t-shirt and were given the incorrect size. The lighting was low and we didn't see that we had been handed the wrong size until we were back on the bus. The information that was provided to us in the brochure was incorrect and the e-mail address is undeliverable. The cannoli's were fabulous! Overall, the tour was ok but not as satisfying as is advertised. |

Being avid fans of the series we just had to go on this tour and we were NOT disappointed. Our guide told us so many interesting facts, had so much local knowledge, provided tales about the cast and generally had us enthralled - the coach was packed full by the way. Coming from Scotland we hadn't tasted canolli but our tour guide stopped and bought everyone a piece of this delicious Italian dessert. This is where the heaven part comes in!!!!! In summation, the tour was first class, the guide was first rate and the canolli was love at first bite!! Bada Bing!! |
