Bobby Pinn is the perfect rock tour guide. His enthusiasm is infectious and I loved the way he pulled record covers and photos out of his bag of tricks to reinforce the sites of interest with a visual from the past. I had wandered past several of the sites for days before the tour and they took on a greater significance after. |

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. |

this was my second favorite thing i did in new york (the first being seeing them crooked vulutres that night)
this was a perfect compliment to my trip that was all about rock n roll in new york
we saw so many little things that if I had headed to the east village on my own I would have missed and that is what truely made the tour
also bobby did a great job in what was terrible weather, it was so cold and wet that our teeth were chattering the whole time, but he still kept it fun and light hearted and personable! |

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! |

If 70's rock and roll is your thing then this is the tour for you! I enjoyed walking around East Village and finding out about it's past and also present secrets. Recommended for the Rock Nerd! |

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!
Dave, London. |
