| I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The guide had so many snippets of information from behind the scenes, it was great. A visit to the Bada Bing was the highlight, highly recommend it. |

| Lots of driving to lots of sites that time has changed (the vacant lot where Satriale's once stood being the ultimate non-event) and lots of purchasing opportunities. Even a knowledgeable guide didn't make up for the impression that it's a cynical exploitation. Not a total waste of time for die-hard fans, but I wouldn't go again. |

| My partner and i found the tour to be very worthwhile. Our tour guide had first hand knowledge of the Sopranos set. The stops were very well planned out and exciting to see. |

| The tour was fun but I won't book again because we were on a bus with marginally-functioning air conditioning on a hot, humid day in the mid 90s. It was actually cooler when we got off of the bus. |

| This was a very enjoyable tour hosted by Marc Baron who has appeared as an extra in several episodes. His knowledge and insights to the cast and all of the series and his knowledge of the technical aspects of locations and filming wasexcellent.
Prior to the tour I wondered if visiting the locations would spoil watching future episodes but having seen some since it has actually had the opposite effect.
Running clips on the bus at the end of the tour of extracts filmed at the sites visited really brought it all together very well.
I will certainly recommend the tour to friends who visit New York. |

| We took the April 28 tour with Marc Baron.
Firstly, coming from UK, although we really love watching The Sopranos, never having missed an episode right from the pilot, did we really want to spend four hours of our valuable time in NYC on a tour bus looking around industrial New Jersey ?
We knew this would take up our whole Saturday afternoon, and the evening was booked up to see The Killers at Madison Square Garden. Whilst waiting to be picked up I wondered if my wife would want to shoot me afterwards !
The tour began with Marc filling in some background of the show, and checking in other folks as they arrived, immediately he had us hooked.
For the whole duration of the tour which really flew through the four hours, Marc was really a superb host, being amusing, witty, AND above all - interesting.
Whilst travelling around couldn't help noticing some of the locals were somewhat entertained by a coach full of tourists disembarking to flash their cameras at Satriales Pork and other stuff. One of whom shouted at me through his car window - "Yo! So yous a Sopranos fan right ? " I replied in the affirmative. " Welcome to Jersey ! " he shouted as the traffic lights changed to green.
The sortie into Bada Bing was very professionally executed ( no pun ), and was a great way to finish the locations. The whole thing was very well put together, with the snack stop, video blooper analysis, quizzes and of course, the canoli.
By the way, either they fixed the air-con or it was a different bus, but no complaints anyway.
Thanks very much to Marc, he was really, really, a goodfella.
Taking The Sopranos tour was the highlight of our trip to New York ! |

guide was very nice and very well informed.

| The guide and tour were great, but it easily could have been an hour shorter. It was a little too detailed. |
