Frequently Asked Questions - Sopranos Tour

If the tour is sold out, is there a waiting list?
No, On Location Tours does not keep a waiting list for our tours. Tours usually sell out, and often well in advance, so please make sure to purchase your tickets far in advance, especially if you have limited time availability.

Is there an age limit on this tour?
Officially no, but keep in mind that the content of the tour does reflect the content of the show and some of it might not be appropriate for all ages. This tour may not be appropriate for children under the age of 16. In addition, a couple of the stops on the tour - such as the Bada Bing - do have their own age minimums, and it is up to the discretion of these establishments whom to allow in.

Where does the tour end?
At the end of the tour, the bus heads back to Manhattan to drop off at the same 39th Steet location where the tour began.

Are we on the bus the whole tour?
No. We get off the bus at a few locations along the way, giving you the opportunity to experience the locations and take pictures. Whenever you leave the bus, it is with the tour guide. The tour includes a mix of on-the-bus viewings of locations and stops to get off the bus to explore, all woven into the Sopranos story.

What exact locations do we visit?
The exact itinerary and route of the tour varies somewhat from tour to tour, so we can't say ahead of time exactly which locations will be visited on a specific tour. There are usually 3-4 scheduled stops on each tour, but due to weather, traffic conditions, etc, tour routes may differ from tour to tour. The Bada Bing and Satriale's are two of the locations that are almost always stops on the tour. Please note that Tony's house on the TV show is not an included stop on the tour because: * The house is located an hour away from the tour route. * The house is located in a private residential neighborhood that does not allow buses.

Is there ever a circumstance when a location is omitted from the tour?

While it is extremely rare, we do sometimes need to skip or modify certain locations that usually are part of the tour. Since the tour is visiting real-life locations around New Jersey, the tour's itinerary can sometimes be impacted by traffic conditions, store hours, etc. On Location Tours assumes no liability or responsibility for: traffic conditions, access to sites, or other conditions beyond its control.

Can I bring beer, wine, etc on the bus?
No, it is against New York State law and New Jersey State law to consume alcohol on a bus.

Can I buy Sopranos merchandise on the tour?
Yes. You have the opportunity to purchase Sopranos merchandise at one of the scheduled stops on the tour.

I heard I get to meet one of the actors from the show on the tour. Is this true?
While the actor who plays Vito often makes appearances on the tour, this is subject to his availability. Due to his hectic and often unpredictable filming schedule, we never know until the day of the tour whether he will be able to make it. Cross your fingers!

Are the tours conducted in English only?
Yes, the Sopranos Tour is only conducted in English at this time. Since so much of the tour is visual, however, visitors from countries such as Japan, Germany, France, Spain and many others have enjoyed the tour just the same!

What type of bus is used?
The tour is conducted on a closed coach bus. It is heated in the winter and air conditioned in the summer.

Is there assigned seating on the bus?
There is no assigned seating on the bus - it's first come, first serve. If you have a number of people in your party that want to sit together, you should make sure to arrive 15-20 minutes early. Guests that arrive late or right at the starting time are much more likely to have to split up their group.

Is there a bathroom on the bus?
Almost all of the buses used on the Sopranos Tour have bathrooms.

Are the buses handicapped accessible?
Yes, with enough notice On Location Tours can arrange for a wheelchair accessible bus. Please indicate the need for a wheelchair accessible bus before purchasing tickets to ensure that this will indeed be the case on the date and time that you will be taking the tour.

Are cameras allowed on the tour?
Yes. While photography and filming are not allowed on the bus portion of the tour, there are some great spots for taking photos and video at our numerous stops along the way.

Can I take a stroller or luggage on the tour?
The Sopranos Tour is conducted on a coach bus, so limited storage space is available. Please keep in mind that there will be several stops of up to 15-20 minutes each where we will be leaving the bus. If you are not comfortable leaving your belongings on the bus during this time, you might want to reconsider bringing them.

Can I book a private tour?
Yes, private tours are available. Most groups, however, decide to attend the public tour for two reasons. First, it is usually significantly less expensive. Second, part of the fun of the tour is interacting with all the other Sopranos buffs that take the public tour. If you are interested in booking a private tour call us.

NOTE: Businesses featured on this tour are normally OPEN during both Saturday and Sunday tours.
