Rock Junket - East Village Rock n Punk Tour

the tour covered many aspects of the rock and roll era and also in composed many facts that few wold know..... i feel that Bobby Pinn has studied and has gotten to know the rock stars that have been in the area for decades .....i highly recommended this tour ...for individuals who want more than just an average nyc tour1!!!!!!!!!!

Tour was lots of fun! We saw very cool places and learned a lot about the craziness of the times. Charming and knowledgable guide

When I booked this tour I had no idea what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. The guide was excellent. It was great to see where a lot of it happened. Now I really understand the phrase "drugs,sex,rock & roll". My highlights where Andy Warhol's influences, Bill Graham and the Fillmore East. It dosen't matter what type of rock music you listen to it's a great tour.

We really enjoyed our East Village rock tour. Our guide (John Pimm?) is a real rock fan with a lot of knowledge, personality and personal experience about what he talk about. Many thanks and long live rock'n'roll!

The tour was great, Bobby managed to paint up the picture on how East Village looked like in the good ol' psychodelic dirty junky days. Extra plus for him bringing along photos - sometimes it is true that a pic says more than 1000 words. I did the tour together woth two teenagres that are dedicated punk fans and they were very enthusiastic. We went back gthe next days and walked through the whole tour, this stopping at Gem Store for a egg cream and for browing through the merchandise on the streets. Thanks to the tour we knew where to go and what to explore more in detail. I hadpromised the teenagers a tour round East Village and now in afterhand I realise that I would have been ENTIRELY lost if it was not for the Rock Punk Tour and Bobby. How in the world could ever a guidebook and map make up the amount of interesting information and sometimes firsthand information that Bobby gave us? And a word on what could be improved. Well, it was pretty brisk weather last weekend and a 10-15 min stop could maybe have been a good idea? Especially if you are not a native English speaker 2 hours of constant information flow in another language is quite heavy. Maybe prolong the tour with 15 min and allow a coffee or egg cream break, if the participants so wish? Overall, I thank you for arranging the tour, it made the trip to NY for two Finnish teenage punks something they will remember forever.

Bobby Pinn provides an excellent walking tour. His knowledge of music and bands of the East Village is amazing. We loved how he talked about the bands and individuals, provided picutres of the time, and also provided some trivia for the group. The length of the tour was perfect and the pace was just right. I have been recommending this tour to everyone we tell about our trip. Definitely worth every penny!!!! Great fun!

Enjoyed the tour thoroughly. Bobby was able to answer all our questions and showed us things we never would have seen on our own. Never thought I would be wandering around Alphabet City on foot! If you are into real rock and roll, don't miss it!

A great little tour that ties together many influential bands through the East Village streets. A remarkable amount of history in such a small area. Bobby is relaxed and informative guide and clearly loves the music he is talking about. Highly recommended for anyone interested in The Stooges, The Velvet Underground and The Ramones.

Bobby Pinn was an enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and passionate guide - despite how freezing it was outside, the 2 hours flew by. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in music.

Had a friend in town and decided to do somehting different. Found this on the Village Voice website & it sounded like fun. Glad we did it. Although we probably should have done it on a warmer day, but everything was great all the same. I highly recommend it. Even for you locals. You have no idea how many times you walk by someplace & are unaware of its history.
