| Did the Rock Junket walking tour and enjoyed very much. New York has such a rich history for Rock n Roll that something like this is deserved. The tour was informative, funny and insightful. I thought the guide had information that was not so readily avaliable and going to the actual sights made it that much more enjoyable. He also covered a few different era's of rock and so it provided enough interest for everyone. I would do it again. |

| Bobby was very friendly and offered a lot of information on the old haunts of the East Village where rockers and artists alike spent their nights. He was always open to answering questions and was knowledgable and funny. Lots of fun if you want to get insight into the crazy times of old, before all the legendary places closed and Kmart and Starbucks moved in! |

| This tour is a must-do for any fan of the Ramones, Dolls, Iggy or Clash. Many punk landmarks and stories included, as well as history of the East Village and recent gentrification, etc. I was happy just to see Joey Ramone's building, but this tour included SO much more! Don't miss it!

| More or less lived up to what I thought it would be, but would have liked a little Johnny Thunders info thrown in. If you've read "Please Kill Me " your one step ahead already. Cute tour guide provided some additional eye candy. Covered a wider time frame than I had expected - interested me at 25 and my mother at 48. If you've never done the LES thing before it's a good primer and if you haven't been in a while it's a good refresher course. DO NOT WEAR HEELS!!!!! Bust out the Chucks or creepers for this one. Gets an overall 8.0. |
