| 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. |

| 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. |

| I thought the tour was informative aswell as interactive with all the sights and info having to do with the sopranos, I would recommend this tour to any sopranos fan. However I would like to comment on donnakings inaccurate review, the comments made upon the tour guide are merely opinions and not factual the guide was a wealth of knowledge that filled the tourists ears with tid bits of information having to to do with the fictional mafia family all the way up to the end of the tour. The trivia was designed for the best of the best sopranos fan and they came with the "A" game and deserved every prize they won I mean why deprive them of there box of pasta or piece of cake. Holstens was atleast 20 minutes out from any part of the tour to say we were close is purely erroneus. My friends and I actaully made the journey to Holstens and it was a good 25min ride from the tour. As for the price of the of the photos, 5.00 is not too much to ask. I mean to think you can get a picture of that quality for .25 is insane and frankly insulting the the Bada Bing. Finally the Bada Bing which was definately a excellent part of the tour but it had nothing to do with the dancers I have been to many a strip club and these dancers were intermediate level at best. In closing please disreguard the testimony made by donnaking she is obviously a "Hater" of the famed mafia family. |

| 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. |

| Not what was expected at all. Bus was 1/2 hr late to start with weather well below zero and we were just standing about waiting for it to turn up. when it did show even though we were first to arrive at meeting point we were actually last on bus and only seats left were next to toilet - which smelt horrendous and we had 4hrs of this. toilets had no running water - thankyou to girl in front who had come prepared with babywipes to wipe hands!!! Bus seats were tatty to say the least. The tour guide was boring and basically was an 'hasbeen - wannabee again'. What he'd played as an xtra and what celebs he knows was about all he could talk about. The most annoying part of the tour was when he practically pulled each episode of the sopranos to bits by constantly talking about 'bloopers'. Does he not have a life? and does it really matter that a certain scene was filmed in NY and not New Jersey or the jail in the background shot was passed on the wrong side- I think not. This is a bloody good series we watch but it is not reality - get over it and take it for what it is A TV SERIES. Pointing out these bloopers is just pointless and a waste of time and has ruined parts of the programme, if I was that bothered about finding errors I could sit up all night and watch reruns over and over again-its not clever its bloody mindedness. Photos of scenes - forget it bus slows down for shots thro window but if you are sat at back - no chance- driver pulls up just for those at front - by the time the rear of the bus passes he puts his foot down and all you get is a wobbly pic!! Bada Bing forget it it is actually a working strip bar called satin dolls - no photos allowed but they will sell sopranos souvenirs out of a cupboard in a dingy office which incidentally can all be bought cheaper in little Italy!!
Tour guide apparently appeared in 1st episode of 1st series but got shot - does that not tell you something - if he were any good he'd still be in it - but he ain't - they had him shot for a reason!!
Because we left late we arrived back late and missed our booking in restaurant for dinner and had to reschedule for next evening.
Either everyone who has rated this tour with 5 stars were on a different tour to me or they have been financially rewarded (bribed).

| the bus was filthy and the smell of urine filled the backseats.
guide was very nice and very well informed.
some more shots of the serie would be more ok to get more in the mood and subscribe some given info.
