| Although the tour itself was interesting and we got to see many places that appear on the Sopranos, I wasn't very impressed with our guide, John, and the tour was booked solid so we had to sit in the last row of the bus and deal with the strong odors coming from the bathroom for four hours. I would only recommend this tour to die-hard fans. |

| Interesting for "Sopranos" fans, as we really are, but definitely not worth $40 a person. We mostly rode around in a bus and answered trivia questions. We learned a lot about the show that way. But there were very few interesting stops and most of the time was spent just driving. |

| Not only did we get to see are favorite spots from the show we had our own tour guide who had been on more than a few episodes himself! He truly made the trip. He was never boring and the trivia was wonderful and the gifts were hilarious. We couldn't not have been happier with our tour. Don't miss out! |

| The tour was great fun. Our host, Mark Baron, was terrific and very knowledgeable about the Sopranos and the area. He interacted very well with those of us on the tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is a fan of the show. |

| Although the tour was great, and as good as anticipated, a couple of improvements are needed.
1. The tour should start ON TIME. We waited almost 30 minutes after the start time for the bus to show up, and that was in addition to the tour's request to be 15 minutes early.
2. The navigator should be there, or notify the tour guide that the navigator will NOT be there. We wasted about 20 minutes going to a location to pick up a navigator who never showed up, nor did he notify anyone of his absence.
3. Tour should be shorter. A smaller bus would be easier to mauever, and would shorten the tour considerably - it could all be done in about 2 hours instead of 4.5. It was very tiring.
The tour guide was knowledgeable, fun, ADORABLE, good looking, and very friendly. I really enjoyed seeing the locations, hearing the 411 on the cast members, and eating cannolis. The Bada Bing was kind of a bust, but whatever. |

Informative tour with some kinks

| The tour was very informative about the Sopranos and covered alot of territory. There was almost no down time. It was definitely worth the money. The only problem with the tour was that it almost did not take place. The bus and driver were a no-show. The tour guide made several calls on his cell to secure another bus and driver (the driver had never done the Sopranos tour before.) Because the tour company did not have their act together, the tour ended up leaving 35 minutes late causing one group to cancel the tour and several people to change their plans. So word of warning to anyone booking this tour: Don't make dinner resevations until 7:30 or have a 6:00 P.M. flight out of Newark as one foolish party in our group did. Our guide did an excellent job improvising (and navigating the driver) and the tour ended up being very enjoyable. |

| I am a avid Soprano watcher, however this tour did not live up to expectations. First of all, they insited we get there 15 minutes before the tour started. The bus was 45 minutes late. Then we had to make a detour to pick up the navigator. He was not there, so we went without him. Most places we just drove past and snapped pictures along the way. When we got out to walk to the pork store where they always sit in front, it was completely stripped because the sopranos wasnt taping. It was just a bare building. The tour guide was very knowledgable and did a good job providing interesting and informative information.good part about the tour. He was the only In Bada Bing, we were met by an unfriendly owner who charged us double for the merchandise. I would not recommend this tour to anyone. |

| The bus was 1/2 late. And the bathroom on the bus almost caused me tho throw up from the odor. We stoped at a shopping center I assume for another guide but he did not show up
Other than the comment above it was a very enjoyable day and have already recomended to a friend.. The tour guide was extremly knowagble and a supper personality

| My fiance and I had a great time. He is such a huge Sopranos fan and the fact that the tour started out by being able to meet "Vito" was wonderful. We would have enjoyed things like the pork store better if it would have been set up for shooting. Overall, we enjoyed it thoroughly -- the tour guide was amazing. |

| The guide was interesting and well-informed. We were stuck in a parking lot in Lodi New Jersey for two hours without the bus which was cited for bald tires. I will be requesting a refund. I thought that the " Sex and the City" Tour was much better. |
