This was a great experience for my 18 year old son and myself who are avid fans of the Sopranoes on our vist to NY from England. The tour guide (who has had afew parts in the show himself) made the trip with his extensive knowledeg come alive!
I thought the locations were good given that the show was shot all across NJ and it would have been unrealistic to expect to cover every scene shoot in 4 hours especially when you see the traffic.
The use of DVD on the bus to show scenes from the show relevant to the location you were visiting really brought the location alive. The highlights were the Bing (I do really now have the T shirt ) and Holstens where the last scenes of the show were shot. We sat in the Sopranos booth here and were made to feel very welcome by the owners and customers alike.
If you are a Sopranos fan this is for you go you will learn and enjoy and when you watch the DVD box set again as I am now doing , the trip will enhance the watching experience.
PS The only thing we could not find out was if Tony did actually get wacked in the last scene, lots of ideas but no insider confirmation.........we will never know!! |

Fun day! I recommend it if you're a real fan! |

We had a great time! The tour guide was excellent and had lots of insiders informaton about the show! Some of the sites I didn't recognize but once you're back on the bus they play a clip and you think to yourself "ohhhh yeahhhh, now I remember"! It was cool sitting in the booth that Tony sat in the last scene at the diner. Bada bing was cool too, they give you enough time in there to buy a souvenier and get a drink! I would definitelyl recommend this tour if you're a true Sopranos fan! |

Everything about this tour lived up to expectations, we were met as as per the the writtan joining instruction which were very clear, got the chance to meet "VITO"( tip, don't waste $20 dollars on a printed photo, save your money for the Bada Bing shop or buy a signed book and have someone take a photo of you with the "big man").
As soon as we got on the coach the information started, our bus wasn't full of the most outgoing of folk but this didn't deter our guide who throughout the whole 4 hour trip keept us well stocked with facts and stories. You need to have more than a passing interest in the show as the information given would supprise all but the most obsessed fans. All round I would reccomend this tour as very informative, a good way to see a differtent part of New York and overall well worth the money. |

My boyfriend and I are from Philadelphia and this was our first trip to New York City. While I was looking up things to do, this tour caught my eye. It was well worth it. Our tour guide Mark was excellent...very nice guy, keeps you entertained the whole way. I would only recommend it to real fans of the show who have seen every episode otherwise you may not understand everything therefore making it not as enjoyable for you. All in all I would definitely recommend this tour to a friend. Great time! Make sure you have a camera!! |

Definetly the best trip for a true soprano fan..tour guide (phil leotardo's extra) was fantastic filling in everything you really need to know about the show , meeting joe gannascoli (vito) topped it off . so if your a soprano fan or not you will be watching episode after episode after this trip, it was just flat out GREAT |

Great Tour! |

Although some of the locations were a bit insignificant in the grand scheme of things, overall the tour was great. Saw a ton of locations used in the Sopranos. Marc Baron was so knowledgeable about the show and the cast, and really kept the tour fun with trivia, games, etc. Seeing the video footage of the places we visited was great, but it would have been better to see it immediately after visiting the locations instead of waiting til the end of the tour. We were lucky enough to have Joe Gannascoli ("Vito") presenthat to sign autographs, etc. However it was a bit shady that he was basically charging $20 to sign a photocopied color photograph sold from the back of his Mercedes. Holstens and the Bada Bing were great!! A fun tour for real Sopranos enthusiasts. Warning - it will make you want to watch the whole series again! |
