Photoshop extract tool - tutorials on google. Or just select the people using the magnetic lassoo tool, then reduce the color/brightness/satur​ation of the background - that often looks less fake.

I posted a similar question recently, and the replies I received included a very helpful and detailed how-to guide, plus some suggestions for making the background more acceptable. The thread is here: Help wanted - separating cat from background.
