Bada-bing, bada-boom! Follow in the footsteps of Tony Soprano during a bus tour of 'The Sopranos' filming sites. If you couldn’t get enough of the hit HBO series, you won't want to leave New York without joining this informative tour through New Jersey. See Pizza Land, the Muffler Man and other sites used in the opening credits; stop at Father Phil’s parish; and sit in the restaurant booth where the final scene was filmed. Upgrade for priority coach seating and better access to the guide, an actor on the set.
Sopranos fans get a real-life glimpse into the filming locations seen on the HBO series during this 4-hour sightseeing tour from NYC to the New Jersey suburb, where Tony Soprano — a Mafia boss played by James Gandolfini — and his mob buddies spent their days and nights. Hop aboard a comfortable coach in Midtown Manhattan and meet your knowledgeable local guide, an actor who appeared as a stand-in or extra on The Sopranos and shares little-known facts from behind the scenes. Upgrade for priority seating that includes pre-boarding in the first four rows for close access to the guide. Your coach tour begins in New York and starts out with sites from the show's opening credits, including the exit of the Lincoln Tunnel and the Manhattan skyline. Upon arrival in Jersey, your guide points out the Muffler Man, Pizza Land, the Valley Landscape silo, a featured Tudor house, a building in the center of the Meadowlands that Tony often passed, and the ramp to the Pulaski Skyway seen at the end of every episode. Rediscover the inner workings of this fictional New Jersey crime family as you check out recognizable locales such as Barone Sanitation. Sit on the steps of the Skyway Diner where Christopher gets shot. See Big Pussy’s auto body shop, visit the Searchlight Diner where he spoke with the FBI, view the back of his house, and glimpse the batting cages used by him, AJ and Kevin. You’ll also take a peek inside Satin Dolls, aka the Bada Bing bar. Visit locations of majors scenes, from dirty deals to beat-downs, including Carmine’s Funeral Parlor; Party World and Car Wash; La Cibelle’s, used as the locale for Nuovo Vesuvio, Artie Bucco’s restaurant in the show; and St Cecila’s Church (Carmela’s Church), the funeral home used for Carmine’s wake. Additional Sopranos film sites include Father Phil's parish, Harrison High School where AJ dumped pizza boxes into the pool, and Holsten’s — the restaurant where Tony sat during the final scene of the series. Please note that filming locations are subject to change.
Excellent tour for anybody that is a fan of The Sopranos. Obvious highlights included having a beer in the Bada Bing, visiting the ice cream parlour that featured in the shows controversial ending and meeting the actor who played Vito. The tour is definitely not for kids but that should come as no surprise for anybody thats seen the show.

I've wanted to do this tour for many years but more so as I knew a lot of the locations would change or even vanish over time. Marc was a great tour guide with so much inside information and great humour. He keeps things ticking over on e tour with interesting trivia and quizzes. I had read on other reviews about Joseph R. Gannascoli Vito Spadafore being there at the start of the tour and it was a cool way to kick things off. _br/_ I don't suppose I'd have ever visited New Jersey if it wasn't for this but it made a good impression on me. It was disappointing that the building used for Satriale's Pork Store is now a parking lot but the highlights were visiting Bada Bing Satin Dolls and a chance to sit in the booth from the final scene at Holstens. _br/_ All in all a great day out. We added to the Sopranos theme by eating at the Mulberry Street Bar in Little Italy and a visit to the Tony's house in North Caldwell, which was amazing. _br/_ Highly recommended for Sopranos fans but do it as soon as you can!
Review by: Maria G, January 2017
So happy to meet Vito Spadafore! I loved that character, so imagine our excitement when we found him there at the beginning of the tour! He was super nice and we took photos with him! _br/_ Overall the tour was great. It was fantastic to have a person who was directly affiliated with the show conduct the tour. He had the information based on direct experience. Loved stopping at the Bada Bing and at the Holsteins!_br/_ Recommended for die-hard Sopranos fans!

Our guide, Marc, was extremely knowledgeable, having acted in the series. We toured so many places of interest, the tour actually lasted longer than 4 hours. I can now take a fresh look at the series, with a different eye. The only disconnect was when booking the tour, the Viator representative told me there would be no place to buy souvenirs. In fact, souvenirs were sold at 4 venues. Had I known this in advance, I would have planned my purchases differently

Marc was a great guide! We and #39;ve never done a tour before like this but it was well worth it! If you and #39;re a true fan it and #39;s a must!

Highly recommended tour if you are a Sopranos fan, which we are. Marc Baron did a fantastic job showing us around, we can't wait to tell our Soprano friends about it all. And then we met Vito, thank you for that.

Review by: Steve K, March 2016
Departure time was 10:00 and the voucher Said to arrive 15 minutes in advance._br/_ I was running late and arrived at the pickup point at 09:55 to find that the tour had already left. 4 others were is the same position. Disappointed to miss the tour as i had been so looking forward to it.
Review by: Natalie C, December 2015
This tour was really good, saw locations that I wanted to, the Bing, Holstens, town of Kearney, and met Vito before getting on coach! (He charges for this!) only thing I will say is Holstens felt rushed. In 2016 paying private cab to go back to Tony and #39;s house, Holstens and Bing and have more time.
Review by: Mark N, November 2015
Great fun,Marc was exellent!
Review by: Ms Michelle A M, November 2015
This is a fabulous tour featuring our host, Marc Baron, who did some acting on small scenes in Sopranos. He had extra inside information about the actors and the show. We were taken to most of the recognizable buildings and sites from the show with Marc explaining why the site was chosen. Very recommended.
Review by: Debbie M, November 2015
Very easy pickup. Tour guide really knew his stuff and we had some great trivia on the bus. Saw all the sights and had a lot of things explained. Visited bada bing and had a drink and make sure you eat your onion rings at the end. Brilliant recommend this trip.
Review by: Karen P, October 2015

Wow this tour is a must if you're a Sopranos fan. The tour guide was great and has even appeared on the show as an extra so has great knowledge of the show. We were lucky enough to meet Vito and get some pictures with him and an autograph! Don't think about it just book it!!!!
Review by: Nicola J, June 2015

This tour was better than expected! The guide Marc baron was very knowledgeable and at the same time he kept the tour group engaged with quizzes and unusual facts. We met Jo gannascoli aka vito and had our picture taken with him and bought some great merchandise. I would highly recommend tour!

The sopranos tour was epic,our tour guy Gary was great and funny! Highlight of my trio this tour.
Review by: Hannah M, December 2014
The tour was brilliant! Would definitely recommend! The tour guide is an actor who worked on set and so had fantastic knowledge of the series and the actors. Would recommend paying for the premium seats as you're at the front and so visibility of all sites is better.
Review by: rhill174, October 2014
A good tour-we enjoyed seeing the places where The Sopranos was filmed, then seeing the appropriate clip on the screen was excellent. Finding out all the inside info re mistakes etc was very entertaining. A good tour but I did not find the actor very friendly who, at the start of our tour, was selling cheap souvenirs for a very elevated price. Maybe it was because we never bought anything...!
Review by: Nikki, October 2014
Fabulous tour, really enjoyed seeing all the filming locations and Marc was extremely informative and entertaining. Nice to meet and have photo taken with Joe Gannascoli (Vito). A must do tour for all Sopranos fans!
Review by: murdo m, October 2014
We really enjoyed this trip. The guide Marc was excellent and full of stories and anecdotes which kept us amused and interested. If you like the Sporano's then this tour will be right up your street.
Review by: mustafa s, August 2014
Marc Baron was an excellent guide There isn't anything about The Sopranos that he doesn't know. Very informative and made for a really great tour. Meeting Joe Gannascole was great too._br/_
Bring extra money for souvenirs and videos!
Review by: Adrian S, June 2014
We went on this trip exactly one week ago, As big sopranos fans we thought this was brilliant._br/_
Marc our Tour guide was fantastic and really kept us well informed. Loved all the extra,s we were told about the show too._br/_
One thing I would have changed is that instead of spending 20 mins at the nightclub satin dolls, (Bada bing) is that we would have had a 5 min look around and spent the time better in the ice cream parlour/diner called Holstens, where the last scene was shot._br/_
We only got a few minutes in here, to order a sandwich and grab a photo etc, would have been nice to have had a little longer here and swapped that time for the time in Bada bing.
Review by: yvonne s, June 2014

Review by: David H, April 2014
Great tour and you get to see some locations you would not normally visit - Bada Bing a definate highlight
Review by: Kathryn H, March 2014
Really fun and interesting tour, a nice way to get out if the city for a few hours. Our tour guide Gary was really knowledgeable of the Sopranos and also New Jersey. Well worth the money.
Review by: Jodie E, March 2014
We loved it we saw so much in our 4 hour tour and learnt a lot along the way. Great tour guide
Review by: Toby P, March 2014
Fantastic tour, great value. The tour guide was awesome and had connections with the show and brilliant inside trivia. If you are a fan of Sopranos and especially if your visiting I couldn't recommend this enough.
Review by: Darren B, February 2014
If you love the Sopranos and are in NY you'd be mad not to book this tour. Great value for money and four hours of inside info and a real memory trip to some of the great locations on the show. Our guide (Marc Baron) would have been worth the money for just his background knowledge.
Review by: Helen B, December 2013
Our Soprano's tour with Marc Barron was fabulous! He knows a lot of details that were very interesting! Also, he had prizes to go along with the trivia! Awesome tour!
Review by: Ian B, December 2013
If you are a fan of the show this is a must first visit to New York and had to do the tour. Tour guide Gary was very good and helped make the tour even better.
