I bought this trip as a 30th birthday present for my son and put simply, I couldn’t have been happier with how it worked out!
The previous reviewer, Cruiser, has expertly covered the majority of the exact same points I was going to make, so I won’t repeat them so soon here (thank you Cruiser, I assume we met on today’s trip, so hello again) but I would like to endorse/add a few from my experience:
- John the Tour Guide. John was indeed amazing…very down-to-earth and friendly from start to finish, making everyone feel welcome and delivering a highly interesting, detailed talk in a very professional manner (he showed a lot of acting / public speaking skills!) His relaxed manner, detailed recollections of the show and great good humour really made the trip.
- Eduardo the driver was, as Cruiser says, also very friendly and we shared a few laughs along the way too. He was always considerate in helping people on and off the van and worked well with John to create a fun atmosphere.
- The locations…especially the two main places we visited - Holstons Diner and the ‘Bada Bing’ club were made even more enjoyable by the staff working there (John rang ahead to have them be ready for us, help keep us on time etc)…
In particular Brandon (a really nice guy who worked at Holstons for years, took a break and was on his second day back!) who took time to have a chat with us as well as serve the most amazing Onion Rings (yes fellow fans - exactly as Tony ordered in the last episode!) and then Bernie, the manageress in the Satin Dolls (Bada Bing) club who came to chat while we were having a drink there… a truly lovely lady who made us feel so welcome asking where we were from and telling me about her trips to Europe.
- our fellow Sopranos fans, especially the very sweet and funny Hannah ( no spoilers, please…now get binging the box-set!), her equally lovely and Sopranos aficionado Jamie (felt like I’d known you guys for years, thank you for being so friendly), Robert from walking around, cheers Rob!, the lady at the back of the bus with the lovely laugh, the lovely Kansas couple and the rest who helped make it all even more fun! Thank you for your company and I hope you enjoy the rest of your NYC visit and have safe journeys home.
All in all this was a very interesting and fun experience (just imagine sitting in THAT Diner, in THAT booth!) that I’d recommend you do if you’re looking for something a little unusual on Sopranos, and informative and fun thanks especially to the Tour guide. Recommended.
