Bobby Pinn knows his stuff. By being part of the music industry, he obviously gained knowledge and experience in the field. He resides in NY - the rock and roll center of
the country. The tour was everything I thought it would be and more. If you are ever in NY, make sure you check this out. Keep on rockin in the free world! |

We brought our kids from London to NYC for the first time - there's so much to wow them but this was a definate top trump with us and them. Bobby's tour of the East Viallage was perfectly pitched for all and brimming with anecdotes, insights and heritage. Unreservedly recommended for music fans of all ages. |

I have to say this is the best thing we did in New York. I love the Ramones and punk rock music from the 70's and 80's and really enjoyed the afternoon My girlfriend is into Celine Dion and she loved the tour as well! (She loved the stories and it has now given her a taste for the music). If you have any interest in what was going on in the New York scene or just love your music then this is the tour for you! |

the tour was really unique and not the typical tours that are out there that take you to the common tourist attractions we all know already....all the explanations were great and it was really cool to learn about who and what had to do with the buildings we walk by...it was an awesome tour...i wish there were more like this! |

I registered my son and I for the tour. My son digs the Ramones, the Clash and other punk groups and the tour hit many places of interest for him, especially the Joe Strummer memorial. I liked the broad rock and punk history that occurred in such a small enclave of the city; just a little more detail in a city filled with so many minute interests. The tour was also interesting on a personal and a professional level regarding the architecture of the neighborhood and the long transition its been going through with the evils of gentrification. The guide was knowledgeable regarding the local scene, the GG Allin tale a particularly good one. My son knew it all already though, but he liked relating it to where it happened. The tour was definitiely a highlight of our visit to the city. |

Bobby, our tour guide was very knowledgable about the subject and answered all my questions. I had a blast learning about where rockers lived and worked in NY. |

We had Bobby to ourselves for 2 hours ,so we had a very initmate tour.He's very relaxed, unpushy & even though we're not great punk fans found a lot to amuse ourselves. |
