Itinerary
Walk in the footsteps of Tony, Paulie, Vito, and Carmela on this criminally entertaining half-day tour of the The Sopranos filming locations. Your tour begins in Midtown Manhattan, where you’ll board a comfortable coach and meet your guide, a local actor.
Your half-day tour begins in Manhattan, where fans will instantly recognize sites used in the show’s opening credits, like the Lincoln Tunnel exit and view of Manhattan skyline. Cross the river and into New Jersey, where you’ll get a glimpse of other credit sites such as Pizza Land, the Muffler Man, the Valley Landscape silo, and the Pulaski Skyway ramp featured at the end of each episode.
Explore "the family’s" favorite hangouts, including a local restaurant used as Vesuvio, Satin Dolls nightclub (aka Bada Bing!), St. Cecilia’s Church where Carmella attended mass, and Big Pussy’s auto body shop. You’ll even have a chance to sit in the restaurant booth where the show’s infamous final scene was filmed.
Throughout the tour, you’ll visit more than 40 locations featured on the show and get the inside scoop on Sopranos actors and production from your guide. You’ll leave with a whole new perspective on the show and may be tempted to marathon-watch your favorite episodes when you get home.

Joanne_G, Jun 2026
Fantastic tour from start to finish if your a soprano fan it’s an amazing experience, from having onion rings in Holsten’s diner to a beer in the badabing, you get to see lots of other locations from the show and learn lots more, our tour guide John was excellent and very knowledgeable and made the experience extra special.
Michael_M, May 2026
The last site I would ever recommend. I booked it on this app and planned me whole last day to do this tour and it took my money and didn’t pass it on to the group who was taking me on the tour. Total disgraceful and out of order will never be using it again. And I’m expecting a full refund and compensation.

Great tour with amazing guide jakapo. He knew so much, was warm and accommodating and fun! This tour is the only way to see the sights in one go and with more details than I couldve known alone!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you, we’re so glad you had an amazing time with Jakapo and got to experience the sights in such a fun and informative way.

Whether you’re looking for a tour of north Jersey or are the insane soprano fan like I am, this tour was so much fun. Not only going through the film locations, but the information about each location. Kearny is absolutely beautiful. I’d move there if I could. And who doesn’t wanna stop at the bing!!!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you, we’re so glad you had such a fun time exploring the iconic Sopranos locations and hope to see you back soon!
Robert_K, Mar 2026
Amazingly informative experience, filled with fun insights (and debates!) about the show. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable of the show and tons of behind the scenes details.
Nicola_H, Mar 2026
Our tour guide Jacapo, was excellent. Very knowledgeable and really funny. Me and my husband had the best day and was so good to see, not only the famous Sopranos locations but lots of different parts of New Jersey.

I did not appreciate having to ride in the third row of a Chrysler Pacifica. I was extremely uncomfortable. Just because their was only five of us does mean that you should have but us in a small van.
kevin_s, Oct 2025

Michael_P, Sep 2025

Unfortunately this was not a good tour experience. On an extremely hot day we started out in a bus that did not have working air conditioning. We then spent more than 30 minutes at a Speedway convenience store in Jersey in the heat waiting for anther bus that also did not have properly working air conditioning. The whole tour and number of sites could have been completed in a lot less than 4 hours and basically we spent a very uncomfortable 4 and half hours not seeing very much at all. The fact that the tour finishes at a working strip club should also be advertised - not as expected at all, something that we had been looking forward to as fans of the show was a real low point of our trip.
Jack_D, Jul 2025
Brought back great memories of a great show with our host Jacopo. He was fantastic and very knowledgeable
Ben_M, Jul 2025
Disappointed and misled. The tour promised an actor from the show—there wasn’t one. The guide was nice but got several facts wrong. Worst of all, the bus had no working A/C on a 97-degree day. Four hours of sweating through New Jersey was miserable. We were so uncomfortable we paid for our own Uber back to Manhattan just to escape the heat. Total letdown.
Robert_J, Jun 2025
Great tour. Tour guide very knowledgeable and passionate made the trip a really good experience. Coach comfortable. Enough time at each stop to enjoy various locations.
ANNE_M, Jun 2025
Brilliant tour and our guide John was very knowledgeable. Holstens was great and so was the food especially the famous onion rings, the malted chocolate milkshake was amazing. Holstens it's self was old fashioned but in a nice way to me it was like an 50/60's American diner and shop, it was great. We also went into Badda bing for a drink. My friends nephew is only 17 and was allowed in also,but obviously not allowed a drink but was asked if he wanted a soda.
KimberlyA_C, May 2025
It’s a great tour for any Sopranos fan. The tour host is very personable and know his sopranos history!
Andy_O, Apr 2025
The tour visits quite a number of locations, and the guide was knowledgeable and interesting at the stops. Note that one of these stops is the strip club which was called Bada Bing in the show, and if you go inside, well, it’s a strip club! Not suitable for kids I’d suggest.
My main issue was that the guide spoke almost all the time the bus was driving between locations, but he had no loudspeaker or other amplification and I simply couldn’t hear what he was saying from my seat at the back. I mentioned this twice when we stopped, but he didn’t seem bothered and never spoke any louder. Hence the “average” score. I requested and got a partial refund from Viator. Won’t use this company again.

If you are a Sopranos Fan then you will truly enjoy this tour!!!
Excellent Tour Guide, vast knowledge of the entire season.
Was given a Birthday Drink at Bada Bing. Really nice.
Response from Host, May 2025

My beautiful bride and I had a wonderful time on the Sopranos bus tour. The bus was large and comfortable. The driver was good. And our guide Gary was funny and very knowledgeable. We got to see and/or experience many of the key show locales. And we learned things about the show, characters, actors that we never knew before. I think it is a testament to the endearing legacy of The Sopranos that a show that has been off the air for 20some years is still in the hearts and minds of enough people to have this tour. We loved it. And I recommend it for all fans. Thank you!

Enjoyable day traveling through the Sopranos story. Very well planned out route. Exceptional way to see the sights

Thanks so much!
Janine_N, Nov 2024
A fantastic 4-hours for our family of 3 avid Sopranos fans. John, our tour guide, really made the tour memorable and enjoyable, with his detailed knowledge of the show, delivered in an engaging way. His use of humour and trivia, and genuine level of enthusiasm were commendable. Bada Bing and Holstens stop offs were the absolute highlight, with the opportunity for photos and souvenir purchases. This tour is well worth the money and thanks again to John for a great experience.

Unfortunately the bus driver was late and this had an impact on the rest of the tour making it very rushed to enable everything to be fitted in.The tour guide was very knowledgeable on all things related to the tv programme but at times difficult to hear as he had no microphone,and was having to tell the driver which turns to take while delivering his commentary. Basically a 4 hour tour was fitted into 3 and a half hours and costing £112 for 2 people was disappointing.On the positive side the content and locations were good ,and the tour guide took lots of photographs of everyone on their phones.
susan_s, Oct 2024
John our guide was the best!!! He was knowledgeable thorough and made it fun ! I highly recommend the private tour

Well there would have been many highlights IF THE PROVDER TURNED UP!!!!!
Waited for an hour for a non existent bus. Tour operator blamed agent and agent blamed tour operator.
So one of the main reasons we travelled to New York for never happened. ABSOLUTE SHOCKING SERVICE FROM VIATOR.
