I’d dreamed of taking this tour since I started watching Sopranos many years ago. I was star struck to see Vito, it was a such a highlight and I was star struck so I was disappointed that he referred to us as a “tight money crowd” because no one was buying his merchandise. He took selfies with us for $20.
The rest of the tour was simply AMAZING and if you’re a fan it’s a MUST!
Marc is very knowledgable about the show and shares lots of facts and asks lots of trivia questions (to which I loved shouting out the answers!) It definitely tests whether you’re a die hard fan!
We saw so many filming locations, it’s a great tour of Jersey and for every location it’s then backed up with the clip from the series.
On the journey into Jersey Marc points out all of the landmarks in the opening credits and there’s plenty of photo opportunities, although sit on the right for the best views.
We got to visit Holstens, try the complimentary onion rings and sit in Tony’s booth from the final scene. The staff were lovely, welcoming and the chocolates looked delicious.
The tour finale was the Bada Bing, (I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t take any pictures inside). You get 20 minutes in there. It’s exactly like in the series. The music is loud, there are dancers, you can order drinks and you do feel like you’re on the set.
Overall I was overwhelmed because I love the Sopranos so much. It was the best day of my trip to NYC.
I would definitely go again. Well worth the money. Thank you ❤️
