The tour was something we were very much looking forward to and it certainly didn't let us down. The tour guide, Marc, was terrific and showed an impressive amount of knowledge on the show.
I would highly suggest any fans of the show to take the tour if possible. |

AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! |

i would just like to say that this was the best thing ive ever done. i got these tickets as a present for my roomate who is the biggest, hugest soprano fan ever. (she answered 8 out of 10 trivia questions right so you get an idea). She loved this tour and so did my other roomates. Our tour guide Mark was so informative and funny he made the experience what it is. I liked that he was an actor and he talked about the different types of endings that we could possibly see this season. I thought every place we went was great, and i thought it was really cool that the showed the clips on the bus of the places where we went after we saw them. We got some really good pictures and im recommending this tour to all of my fellow fans of the sopranos. I think that they should keep this tour around long after the show is over, i think it was a huge hit with all my roomates and with me. Last but not least the cannoli was AMAZING! definetly one of the best things on the tour! Thank you so much Mark for this amazing experience! |

I gave the tour tickets as a Valentine's gift to my boyfriend, who loves the Soprano's. I personally don't watch the show regularly, as I find it rather violent. The tour however made me want to try the show again. All very interesting. |

Tour marred by broken air conditioning. |

As a fan of the show,I found the tour both interesting and informative.The guide had done some serious research.So much so that you either had to have a photographic memory,or were such a diehard fan that the only DVD's you actually owned were 'The Sopranos'.On occasion the sighs from fellow tour members indicated the difficulty of some of the questions asked on the bus in an attempt to win small prizes.The actual joy of the trip was to visit the sights and have photos taken there.Particularly so as we hail from England.In short there was a little too much information and my advice would be to keep it simple.
On a practical level the tour bus was far from luxurious.Sadly the air conditioning failed on a particularly hot day making the bus like some hellish sauna on wheels.The smell of ammonia from the toilet was so bad it stank like a Mexican bat cave.Finally in regard to the cannolis,wouldn't it be a good idea to pre- warn the confectioner at the bakery as to how many people are arriving from the tour so that there are enough to go around?Thankfully on such a hot day the Italian water ices were most welcome,especially after enduring the heat on the coach.
The tour was generally good,but I can only express what I believe to be fair comments.I think it woulbe a very good idea to invest in a new coach or have the old one overhauled(maybe at Pussy's car joint?) |

The air conditioning in the bus was broken. It was terribly hot and I was getting sick. Need I say more? |
|
Great fun and an excellent tour guide! |

One complaint however - no air conditioning on the bus. It was a hot day and almost unbearably airless. This did spoil our enjoyment of what was otherwise a fab tour. |

Great for awhile |

We have never been to the Big Apple and we are devout fans of the "Soprano's" and were looking forward to the tour with great anticipation. It started off well despite of the very inclimate weather. We were absolutely thrilled to meet and get an autographed picture and take a picture of Vito before we started off on the tour. The tour director(I'm sorry, I forgot his name) was fabulous and his knowledge of all the Soprano facts was simply amazing. He was a human computer! BUT, very unfortunately, due to the rain and flooding the trip was cut short. I was very disappointed that I didn't get to see Bada Bing's or Satriale's or any of the other sites. The tour company offered to reschedule my tour later but unfortunately we would not be in the area in the immediate future. I was then given a refund but will DEFINITELY take this tour the next time I'm in the Big Apple. You should take this tour if you are a true Soprano fan! |

We had tickets to go on the Sopranos tour on sunday 15th April 2007. The weather was horrendous with huge rainfall and flooding on the streets of Manhattan. The tour started and the coach was leaking water onto some of the guests on the tour. There were no spare seats for them to move to so that had to sit there getting wet. We went ahead with the touor even though the windows were steamed up on the coach, which combined with the torrential rain outside meant that we could hardly see anything. I was quite disappointed. Finally after seeing the flooding in New Jersey which meant many roads were closed and the police and fire brigade were out in force they decided to cancel the tour and tried to rearrange the tour for another day. Eventually it was decided that it could not be rescheduled due to uncertainty about the weather and we were all given a full refund. It was very disappointing as it had been our main reason for visiting New York from England. I think that they did the right thing by cancelling the tour.....my only criticism is that I think it should have been cancelled before it started due to the weather. |

We had such a great time during this tour. I highly recommend this for true Soprano fans and even those who may not know so much about it. |
