| I thoroughly recommend this tour if you are even slightly interested in the rich musical and artistic history of the East Village. The tour guide is knowledgable and engaging, and importantly seems to be a hell of a nice guy. He's a great source of local knowledge so not only do you get an informative and entertaining history of the area and it's notable sights and buildings, but he can also assist with any other question you would have as a visitor to NY.
If the names Iggy Pop, New York Dolls or Ramones mean anything to you then you will love this tour. |

| Wow, this tour was great. Bobby is such an enthusiastic and knowledgable guide, that we could have spent all day listening to him. We took this trip on the last day of our stay in New York and now are determined to go back and explore the East Village some more - it's such a cool place.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone into their punk and rock music - we learnt so much and had a great time. |

| Found this tour on the internet, wanted something different from the usual touristy stuff in New York. Was more than pleased with the P&R tour. Bobby Pin was a hive of information on the rock and punk scene! |

| I brought my 13 year old son with me and we both had a blast. Bobby Pinn was knowledgable and really seemed like a fan of the music, which made it even better, it wasn't just some rehashing of punk history by someone who could care less. Bobby also took some great photos of my son and I which was a plus and one picture of us in front of the great Joe Strummer mural, Bobby said "fridge magnet" and indeed it is! Ha! Thanks! |

Thoroughly enjoyable tour.

| Met with guide Bobby Pinn at the time/place previously advised. Bobby was well informed, friendly and happy to answer any questions at any time throughout the tour, and provided photos and album covers to illustrate various stages of the tour.
Anyone with more than a passing interest in 70's New York music should definitely take one of his tours(mine was the East Village tour). When I am next in New York I shall go on another one, as it is money well spent and 2 of the best hours during my stay.
Well done Bobby Pinn and Rockjunket.com!

| I had my startingpoint in my 8-dayvication at St. Marks Hotel in East Village.
Fantastic feeling just to be there in the area where so much has happend threw the years & in the same hotel as Ramones lived in during there startuptime & where G.G.Allin spent his last 9 month.(Cheap,clean Hotel with excellent helpful stuff).
Bobby Pinns "Rock Junket Tour" was very inspiring with lots of places you cant leave N.Y.C. without a look at. As C.B.G.B.īs former place,Joey Ramones NYC pad,Iggy Pops,Andy Warhols & Madonnas former recidents among many other interesting places we saw.
I look forward to the release-date of Bobby Pinns book about all this and more.
Enthusiastically Recommended by Bjorn V. from Sweden. |
