We enjoyed the behind the Sopranos info the guide gave us and seeing the location sites. The air conditioning on the bus did not work very well so it was quite warm. |

As a half Italian, born in Brooklyn, living if North Jersey working in Manhattan professional person I thought the tour would be way too "touristy"--but I was wrong. Mark the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, professional, very friendly and took into account the make-up of the group when he shared info. with us. We did kind of chuckle when some of the folks on our tour were taking pictures of the LIncoln Tunnel and the Pulaski skyway, but hey, they don't get to see these things every day! Mark really, really knew his stuff and had a great sense of humor. He really was a Sopranos expert.
The bus could have been a bit better air conditioned as it was a very hot day. I am usually always cold, but I was even hot on the bus at times. I think it would be nice to have a cooler with water bottles or sodas as part of the tour because we didn't get to get something to drink until Holsten's which is the next to last stop. Also as Holsten's is a new stop on the tour and you get some of their fantastic onion rings, there was no cannoli as advertised and I think a few people were upset about that. All in all it was a fun day, and I would recommend it even to us jaded locals!! |

Easy departure and arrival location - left on time and a little late on the return due to traffic.
Commentator was terrific and made the whole experience very enjoyable. He knew his stuff and his "insider" acting experience helped immensely. He made the 4 hour journey go by very quickly - he was informative - entertaining - and was well balanced between talking and being quiet.
My only negative comment is that the transportation left a lot to be desired - the A/C was useless and the general repair was sub-standard.
Two words of advice for those on the tour:
(a) Bring refreshments/water since there is no stop until almost hour three where you can get anything.
(b) Ba-da-Bing is a "Gentlemen's Club" so you will see some activities that make some feel uncomfortable. In particular, if you are having a drink at the bar - be prepared for the girls to tell you they are still working and be prepared to give them a "tip" for them to move on.
Overall though - a great day out and well presented by the commentator.
Thanks

Myself and my partner really enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to all. I enjoy the Sopranos although I would not consider myself to be an avid fan, but the tour has heightened my enjoyment.
The tour guide was excellent.

It was really cool to see all the locations from this historical HBO series. There were plenty of great video clips, some real challenging trivia questions, and our tour guide Mark, was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and did a great job in keeping the group enthusiastic and informed. It was awesome to see the sites such as Pizzaland, Satriales, the diner that Christopher got shot, and of course, our last stop and most famous, the Bada Bing. I have gone on now both the Sopranos and Sex and the City tour, and have enjoyed them both, but it is much more meaningful when you follow the show closely. |

I would recommend this tour to any fan of The Sopranos as it provides a very interesting insight into locations used and the characters themselves. I also enjoyed the cannoli! |

The tour guide did a nice job of giving us inside information on the making of the TV series, The Sopranos.
However, the 3-hour tour was way too long. Too many crummy sights, from too many older neighborhoods in New Jersey. Too little bling! |
