Rock Junket - East Village Rock n Punk Tour

bobby pinn takes you on a tour of the east village in new york. the birth place of punk music and wear beats, artists and pop culture icons pulled off some of their greatest pieces. if you like the ramones, new york dolls, warhol and walking...then highly recommended. you could spend all afternoon on st. marks place alone...

Having been a fan of the various NYC punk bands from this area it was fantastic to get a nostalgic trip round the places I had only read about up to this point. I brought along my 13 year old daughter and apart from that the fact she had to walk was engrossed by Bobby's stories. Bobby was a fantastic tour guide, providing his own insight and experiences aided by a few props he brought along in his magic punk bag. I was supposed to do this tour on the Thu, but Bobby got in touch and offered me an alternative as the weather was supposed to be bad on that day (it did pour down on the Thu), but the Fri the weather was brilliant and it shows the effort Bobby puts in to make sure his tour is a success. We even back-tracked after the tour and took advantage of the discounts Bobby mentioned at one of the stores we passed during the tour and to try an eggcream. I only have the highest praise for this tour and next time I am in NYC I hope to do the new tour Bobby mentioned, the Rock N Roll Pub Crawl.

I would highly recomend this tour our guide was very informative it was by far the best tour we did in new york. We will be back to do more of his other tours when we get back .

Very cool way to see important rock landmarks that have been lost in time. There is no way we wlould have been able to find these places without taking the tour. Very well informed and enthusiastic guide which helped make the tour flow. I certainly recommend the tour to any rock/punk fan.

My girlfriend and I did the Rock & Punk tour last weekend. Probably the best 2 hours of our NYC trip. If you love music, this is the tour for you!!!

Guide Bobby Pin geared the tour to the groups interests. Left on time and ended on time. Provided a very nice leaflet at end of tour with a list of things to do, see, eat and shop in the tour region which where very good recommendations. Tour was exactly as described. Though it seemed a bit pricey, it felt worth it in hindsight. Don't forget your camera and your best Rock 'n' Roll attitude. Mike Toronto

This tour delivered on what was promised. Two hour tour with lots of stories about rock legends - both international stars as well as local artists - all supplemented with photos and album covers. Highly recommended.

The Punk and Rock tour is a great way to get to know better East Village from the point of view of New York's finest Punk and Rock history!

We had a great time, the tour was very well done. Bobby is knowledgeable and engaging. As a testament to how well he is known in the area multiple store owners in the village were waiving and saying hi to him as we were on the tour. I was a novice to all of the history that is in the East Village before the tour started but now feel like I know the area well and it's history related to music. I would recommend the tour to everyone that has even the slightest interest in music and history. Thank you Bobby!!

The rock/glam tour of NYC's East Village proved to be a glorious mix of intriguing sites and informative background stories straight from the anals of rock history. A perfect 'add-on' to a visit to the Big Apple that will provide a slice of something a little unique and memorable that no 'tired' guide book ever could. The guide was a 'Diamond Gezzer' too!!!
